At Nannie & Papa Meltons' House in GA

Daddy blowing leaves and pine needles off of the roof for Papa.



Annora and Papa doing yard work





Annora: "Look how good my dress twirls!"




Pretty girl. Now we're ready to go to the Tea Room!



Everyone MUST try on hats at the Tea Room. Part of the aura of being (as Annora says) "old-timey".




We had "luncheon" with tea and beautiful china at the Windsor Hotel in Americus, GA.





Mama and Annora (she picked out different hats for us--it's been a long time since I played dress-up!)
