Perfect

I have two grand daughters.

They love to have tea parties.

They love to have tea parties with their Honey.

While  here at Christmas, I promised Rosalyn I would "have her over for tea"....
and she doesn't forget a thing.

My house was a wreck.

There was stuff all over the counter, dishes in the sink, boxes everywhere.

We were all still in our pajamas, no one had brushed their hair or put on makeup.

It was not an environment conducive for a fancy schmancy tea party.

But we did it anyway.

In the midst of the chaos, I grabbed a tablecloth and a single crotched doily and threw it on the table. We all grabbed a hat from the dress up box and viola'.....

Just like that...

 we were having fun.

We used plain old sweet tea and Oreo cookies..

Their Paw Paw was the kind waiter who served us that day.

We used imaginary sugar cubes and cream for the tea and used words like

smashing and scrumptious.

We all held out our pinkies exactly the way you're supposed to to properly drink a spot of tea.

We pretended we were all dolled up in our fanciest best.

It was one of the best tea parties I've ever attended.

I'm so thankful I didn't wait for the perfect environment.

I'm so thankful we didn't take time to get all gussied up.

If we had....we might have missed this moment together.

This memory.

This smile.

Don't miss out on living while waiting for "perfect".

Perfect is already here.
