June 2, 2010 High Tea with Special Friends

On our way back from Copalis we stopped for a few days in Elma. From there we were able to head out to visit people in the Olympia area. We made our way to Lacey and Lake St. Claire where our dear friends the Comers live. The sun was shining and it promised to be a wonderful day.

On the deck with Anne Comer.
Awaiting us was a beautiful High Tea. Note the cucumber slices with smoked salmon pate. Also the toast rounds with salmon pate and cucumber decor. Along with fruit, cookies etc. Please also note the english bone china tea cups. Haven't had the pleasure for awhile, as mine are all packed away.

Forget me not tea pot with lemon wedges at the side.


Here we are the four of us. Myrna, Bob, Don and Anne. We have known the Comers and their extended families for almost 55 yrs. Don and Anne were missionaries in British Columbia when I was a teenager. Don was also an accomplished mountain climber and still tells a good story with a wonderful sense of humour.



Enjoying the sunshine and being outdoors amongst the trees and flowers.




Anne has many pots on her deck with a variety of flowers. This is one of them. They looked a little water logged from all the rain we have been having.


This pot contained her pride and joy... a cat plant!!!



Brenda, daughter #3, was our server extraordinaire. She made our tea and served all the wonderful goodies. What a fun time catching up on everyone's family. We also enjoyed our first skype experience. We called Gayle (daughter #2) to wish her happy birthday. We may have to look into getting that on our computer if we keep up this travelling. Thanks again Comer's for a wonderful day.
