I had a totally different post
elegantly prepared for Tea Party Tuesday
this week but as I started to edit the pictures,
I realized I just wasn't feeling it...
I am feeling pretty lucky.
I am feeling pretty humbled by the
blogging community this week.

Kelee Katillac has done it again, bringing
her special skills in design to bring
joy to others.
I was overwhelmed with gratitude and respect
for those who go above and beyond to help others.
The story of Charlie, a young brain tumor patient, certainly
struck a cord with me on a personal level.
As many of you know, I LIVE with a brain tumor.
Read my story here.
How can you help?!

It is breathtaking here.
I made these cookies on Father's Day for
my wonderful husband, James, who just loves
to be up north, on a boat, relaxing amongst
the serenity of the water.

I thought I would share them for tea today.

I love your cookies, they are just perfect! Great colors and cute designs! Enjoy your time at the lake with your family :)
Trisha - I am humbled to hear of your affinity to the Miracle Makeover fundraiser because of your own tumor - that you live with! A testimony to the strength and faithfulness of the Lord in your life to be about the business of sharing "sweetness" and light in all things at Sweetology.
I participated in the blogfest this weekend - http://thewritersreverie.blogspot.com/2011/08/making-of-miracles.html - my son's story - and ultimately my grandbaby's story. She turns a thriving one this month!
I haven't had a chance to visit too many blogs but hope to do so by the 18th. Just back from seeing my son and his family and am playing catch-up. I have to go back to work in less than a week! Egad! School routines begin again. Tea breaks on Tuesdays will be welcome!!
Joy!
Kathy
Hi Trisha
You are one busy lady and the cookies are so sweet.
Enjoy the time with your family, sounds like a cozy retreat.

My sweet friend your post day touches home on both accounts. As someone who lives with an acquired brain injury my heart goes out to others who face any illness to the brain; especially children .. I'm catching up after our Vermont trip and will be visiting the sites you mentioned above. Hubby lost his first wife to a tragic single car accident ~ I don't know what its like to lose a spouse , but see the emotional affects that he faces to this day. Thank you for sharing your story and for bringing awareness to the prayer needs of others.
Your cookies are beyond creative!! You come up with the best ones! .... enjoy your time with family ... many blessings, xo HHL
It is always wise to follow your heart. Your cookies are amazing and look perfect for father's day. Peace and Happy Tea Day!
It is so inspirational buzzing through all the blogs you have shared with us! I am always amazed! Love the cute cookies you made for James!! Too cute!
You & your cookies are an inspiration to all of us, Trisha!! You have your priorties set straight from your sweet heart. xoxo
Thank you for sharing your heart as well as your enormous talents! You truly are a blessing and may it be returned back to you in overflowing abundance!

That is a charming cup! I love it. Please come and visit my site if you have time. I am barely into this addiction!
I was very touched by your words and invitation to join the spots which will collect donations. My husband has Stage Four Pancreatic Cancer and we are off to Montreal today for our anniversary. A bit of a poignant one, as he is having some more lesions. I thank you for sharing this in your blog and will remember you in my prayers for your own brain tumor.
Northern Minnesota is wonderful. I am from St. Paul and get there about four times a year...friends who have cabins...a wonderful thing!!!
Fondly,
Suz
Wow! These cookies are awesome! Love!!! Are those cookies royal icing made?
Love your cookies and that you are spending time with family in a beautiful and serene setting. Beautiful post, you can never go wrong when you follow your heart.
P.S. Love your generous and giving spirit.
Always follow your heart : )
Your cookies are happy cookies! I am glad you are away enjoying family and the great outdoors.
The tea cup is one of my favorites. I have a painting with a cottage like that in it and it (and your cup) remind me so much of England.
Hugs,
Terri
I'm proud to be married to my wife. I'm amazed at what she can do, all in one day. Simple put, I'm a lucky man.
Love ya T
James
Aahh, Trish YOU are so inspiring! I am off to visit those blogs! Have a great get away!
TRISH-THESE COOKIES MADE ME SMILE JUST LIKE U DO!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING! XOXO
I love the idea of using broken up pretzels as fire wood for your camp fire biscuits, very ingenious!
Your decorated cookies depicting some family favorite activities are really cute!!
Beautiful post Tricia. Charlie touched my heart so while I watched that video - I am so glad to be able to do this for him - you're such a blessing - I am thankful God has caused our paths to cross - Wishing you and your family all God's blessings - Thank you for joining in and sharing this with A Return to Loveliness,
Hugs,
Kathy
