Tired of the low-life, recivilizing ourselves with a Jane Austen Day!
Started the day with prep work:
* quick shopping trip for groceries
* put together scones, chicken salad, tomato basil sandwiches, deviled eggs
* cleaned out the teapots, set out several different tea blends
* washed the good white tablecloth
* pulled out best "period" costumes we could find (tho', admidttedly they ended up being of several different periods)
* settled the boys back in the school room with an Abbot and Costello marathon
* queued up our beloved A&E version (Colin Firth, oh yes!) of Pride and Prejudice
* just now dipping into the first disc --
* looking forward to high tea between discs, roughly about 4 pm
Ah! Lovely order and culture!
(Pictures later, hopefully -- IF I can get my computer to recognize my camera to download them! Go figure. Now that my camera is fixed, my computer has a grudge against it.)

Could I come and join your party? My favorite time period and favorite movie. I would even promise to stick my pinky out when I sip.
