Arlene and Dianne’s Birthday Tea

Arlene and Dianne’s Birthday Tea was held on Thursday prior to the Alaska Women Writer’s group meeting. The party, attended by members of AWW and members of Dianne’s church, was held in Dianne’s lovely mountain home above the skyline of downtown Anchorage with views of the Cook Inlet. I asked Dianne about the oil portrait, which she said was of her in her prom dress. Dee and Jeanmarie look over the beautiful table with china teacups, cloth napkins, candles and real flowers. Jeanmarie served the high tea at this table, which included fancy sandwiches, scones, cookies, fruit and nuts. Arlene and Dianne, who are of “an uncertain age,” cut the cake after the candles have been removed.
The guests were “encouraged to wear hats.” I noticed that I was the only “red hatter” in the group. All pictures can be made larger by clicking on them.
