Time for a book review....

Very behind on this one, I've realized, as it's time this evening for another book talk for the HRBC on Twitter!  This is the book we read a month ago!


The story that develops in this book concerns three women who happen to "fall upon" the same tea set at the same time!  Thus, a "Teacup Sisterhood" is formed, and they begin their search for others that would be assistance for all of them.  Jenny will use them first, then it will be Maggie's turn before passing them on to Alison for her candle business.

Alison stores the teacups at her studio since she is the one with the needed space.  Chaos happens when Alison's teenage daughter, in a show a temper, slams the door, prompting an avalanche!  Miraculously, everyone begins to work together, and all is in order for Jenny's wedding.

Although there are some serious storylines here, the reader is somehow left with that "happily ever after" fairy tale impression.

I was prompted to search through my "household accumulation" for teacups as a result of reading this book.  That's a subject for another blog, however.

Have a nice day, friends!  Pause for a cup of tea....or simply conversation....with a friend!

Sunday, May 5, 2019....

The untimely passing of Rachel Held Evans yesterday morning came as a surprise and has left a void for many.  Her writings served as a guide and foundation for many in their faith journey.  In addition to her husband, she leaves a 3-year old son and a 1-year old daughter.  Rachel was 37 years old.

The Mission Focus for the United Methodist Women today is the Lessie Bates Davis Neighborhood House in East St. Louis, Illinois.

Today is the birthday of Harriett Olson, the General Secretary and CEO of the United Methodist Women.

May this be a day in which you are surrounded by hope, joy, love, and peace.  Special blessings to all!
