One of my favorite experiences as a youth was tea at the home of Sister Fohr in Carbondale. So when I inherited Grandma's china, I wanted to host a tea with the grandchildren. When most of the grandkids were here over the summer, Natalia's daughter, Charity's children and Caleb's, the plan to host the tea was put into place. Sheri made lots of sugar cookies, and the smaller ones were set aside for the tea. Instead of tea we had lemonade and milk in the tea cups. We also had marshmallows in the sugar bowl, crackers and cheese and pepperoni and every good thing. We also invited Sheri, my wife to join us. It was a special time. I got some of the kids to tell stories. I told stories, including Aunt Ruth the slobbery kisser and about Grandma Wright whose china we were using.
