Meet Al and Samantha - they have been married a long, long time. I brought them with me to Mothermark's Tuesday Tea Party. She is hosting it in her backyard where she just had a new lily pad pond designed. I heard there were some teenage frogs on their first date at the party - they need to come over and get some pointers form Al and Sam.
Al and Sam live in my backyard pond which you can see in the background of my picture. There aren't any lily pads in our pond, so I not really sure they know much about how to behave or get around on them. Maybe we can borrow someone's lifeguard (Mothermark indicated that some of the party attendees may want to bring their own lifeguard).
This was a fun challenge and if you are interested in learning more about the Teapot Tuesday challenges, make sure and visit Mothermark at:

Hi Al and Sam! Oh my! You are old! Please don't....Please don't...pleast don't croak at the tea party! Snort! I love the fun embellishments you put on your card and how fun that froggie looking spotted paper is! They are sporting some pretty *young* make up! Come with me...we gotta find a nice quiet corner and then we can send the young ones over....are they gonna charge for their advice? Well, maybe they will trade their advice for how to ride a lily pad lessons! Snort!
Love your card..its the coolest and how fun we getta see your pond! Thanks for coming!!

Oh, my word...what a FABULOUS couple...they have been together so long that they actually look alike!!!!! They will have sooo much fun at the party...too bad they can't share a lilly pad....maybe the Mudder will relax the rules for this awesome little couple!!!
