More Weekend - June 15-17

My mom is having a bout with congestive heart failure and though able to stay home, needs to take it easy. She had a houseful of family this weekend, though, along with a broken dishwasher! These four girls, my daughters and nieces, were a huge help! This is one of the times they did the dishes.

Cousins! The girls above are cousins and the two women below are cousins. My mom's cousin and her husband visited for the weekend. The table is set for tea, a yearly tradition when the girls visit their grandparents. This year, because of my mom's health, the girls and I made the food for the tea. On the menu: cucumber sandwiches, pimento cheese sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, cheese scones, cookies, cinnamon sticks (made with the crusts of the sandwich bread), and ice cream parfaits. The girls picked out demitasse cups for each person. When we finished they did all the cleaning up!
