Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Someone posted a great quote from one of their teaboxes recently. I meant to cut and paste it but got distracted and now I can't find it. Please someone direct me to it.

It WAS a great quote, wasn't it!!!

It was here on Marilyn's thread.

Thank you ladies for this delightful thread. Inspired by Colleen's suggestion of bread and jam for teatimes we recently made several batches of blackberry, strawberry and blueberry jams and jellies. We're also stocking up on local honey and maple syrup to drizzle on hot biscuits or homemade bread. We're so looking forward to teatimes with a taste of Summer...the next best thing to visiting a charming tea house!

This thread made me think of our favorite tea quote (cut from a box of Celestial Seasonings' Candy Cane Lane tea, and kept tucked inside the corner of a tea cabinet door): "A roof to keep out the rain. Four walls tokeep out the wind. Floors to keep out the cold. Yes, but home is more than that. It is the laugh of a baby, the song of a mother, the strength of a father. Warmth of loving hearts, light from happy eyes, kindness, loyalty, comradeship. Home is first school...for the young ones where they learn what is right, what is good, and what is kind. Where they go for comfort when they are hurt or sick. Where joy is shared and sorrow eased. Where fathers and mothers are respected and loved. Where children are wanted. Where the simplest food is good enough for kings because it is earned. Where money is not so important as loving-kindness. Where even the teakettle sings from happiness. That is home." Ernestine Schumann-Heink

May all your "teakettles sing from happiness" as you embrace a new season of learning "what is right, what is good and what is kind"!

Thanks Jen! I never would have thought to search in that thread. You are a lifesaver! I'm sure you hear that often!
