::A Gem::

I've been meaning to post this for a while. It's an absolute gem that I found a couple of years ago when I developed a couple of rolls of film that were shot on my old point and shoot. In my family we got a camera for our birthdays when we turned 8. It was way cool.
So here's a fabulous tea party.

I'm not sure what the event was here, but it does look fancy. I'm not going to name any names here, in order to protect the innocent, in case they want protection for some reason, but you know who you are! I will say though that I'm on the far left, in case anybody can't tell. And Charlotte (my favorite sister) is the one closest to the camera in the foreground.
Anybody in the picture remember what we were doing? Char? We're certainly all dressed up very fancily--hairbows, dresses, etc. We've got candles lit, we have the quilted placemats out, as well as napkin rings (wow!) and it looks like we're drinking coolaid.
Anyway, looks like fun. I'd do it again tomorrow with all the same old friends if I could!
Can you see my clarinet in the background standing on the hutch (or sideboard or whatever you like to call that piece of furniture). This must've been in 1992 or so, which is when I was teaching myself to play the clarinet. It stood around the house all the time because I liked to pick it up and play it whenever I was in the mood. You know, a swingin' version of twinkle twinkle little star brightens up the day. I should probably try that nowadays.
