as it suits your plans
Enjoy your tea!
Enjoy your “tea” (or what have you) and please take photos to share.
It’s so fun to see what everyone comes up with!
Try to include Emilie Loring somehow–with a book, picture, quote, birthday candles… Be creative!
Send photos!
Send your photos and a little description of your celebration to: contact@pattibender.com
I will begin posting Saturday evening and shall continue through Sunday until all of the submissions are in.
Check back often and enjoy our community celebration of “all things Emilie!”
Practice Tea
I recently had a “tea” with my granddaughter, Molly, to celebrate her entering first grade. She’s not into Emilie Loring yet; her current favorites are the Ivy and Bean books.
We enjoyed homemade lemonade, and the savories and sweets were adjusted to her six-year-old tastes: cucumber sandwiches, nachos with avocado, chocolate chip quick bread, and mint Milano cookies.
Molly picked the zinnias herself, and the glass dishes were what my mother always used for family birthdays. Maybe we’ll make this a tradition each year before school starts!
Zooming into Fall
Thanks to all who have signed up for our Zoom meeting on October 7th. I’ll wait until we’re a little closer to send you the Zoom link. If you haven’t signed up yet and want to, send me a note at: contact@pattibender.com
Mystery in Marlborough
Before I leave for Maine, I have a little mystery to share with you. I came across it last month in Victor Loring’s home town, Marlborough, Massachusetts.
Why are there three tombstones for Victor’s grandfather, Hollis C. Loring? Leave your guesses in the comments, and watch for the solution next week.
