Don't these look like happy people? They were. Please meet Nancy Martin, her son Ross Barnhart, her daughter in law Terri Barnhart, and Gail Barnhart. They arrived in all thier finery at exactly 2:00 PM because that is what time the High Tea always starts. Teresa and her friend Patty had arrived the day before and Mayflower Hall was festooned and beautiful. Course my camera was at home through the whole thing, thus forcing me to go on facebook and steal pictures.
The tea was hot and the food at least looked good.
This is a scone with lemon curd and yes, I made that from scratch. Same with the dollop of clotted cream getting ready to end up on that strawberry.
This was my first attempt at something this fancy, but I have been told that it was great. Of course, I did not do this alone. Jill arranged the tables. Teresa and Patty decorated. And when the High Tea was in full swing Pastor Jeannine was slinging tea like a trooper. And plates were flying out of the kitchen thanks to the three of them along with my daughter, Sue. Amy manned the ticket table and sold tickets for the raffle. Any great event is the result of a lot of hard work by a lot of people. This one was our first, but it is not going to be our last by a long shot. We will just be more organized next time.
First Congregational United Church of Christ is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the very near future and we would love to see you pop in our door next Sunday morning at 9:30 AM. 228 West Evans.
