Tea Party

Steam rises in billows from the kettle and as the teapot whistles, I pour water over the Earl Grey tea bags into mother's porcelain cups. Do you prefer a squeeze of lemon? Or milk and sugar? Here! Have a cookie!!

Carrie, I really loved this simple picture you painted of a tea party. And you were one of the few that used naturally capitalized sentences and punctuation, which scores with me too! Congrats on your fourth place. LUv, Andrea
