Afternoon Tea at Filoli

February 18, 2010

One of my most favorite experiences is being at Filoli. This time of year is especially welcome with all the bulbs coming up and the coming of Spring. What a great time to hike the trails, have lunch or enjoy the tea. This is a yearly tradition at Filoli. Enjoy delicious sandwiches, seasonal salads, scones with fresh lemon curd and pastries presented on linen tablecloths. Tea is served in our beautiful collection of china teacups, donated through the years by Filoli members and volunteers.

This popular Filoli tradition is perfect for meeting friends or small group events. Afternoon Tea takes place the fourth Wednesday of each month, February through October.* Seating is limited. Reservations are required.

Some Thoughts from Thomas Jefferson

February 13, 2010

OK, I know I don’t normally do this. But, with the times we are all in, it is good to get us all back to basics. Thomas Jefferson always said he was,  “A Virginian by birth and principle”. It just amazes me that what was said in the 1800′s we are experiencing today.

“It has been said the greatest volume of sheer brainpower in one place occurred when Jefferson dined alone…”  John Kennedy   
HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW THESE THINGS??????
 
Especially read the last quote from 1802.
 
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as  Europe.
Thomas Jefferson
 
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson
 
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

Thomas Jefferson
 
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson  
 
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government
Thomas Jefferson
 
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
 
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
 
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants
Thomas Jefferson
 
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
 
Thomas  Jefferson said in 1802:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…

 

‘If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.’
-Mark Twain

This last statement reminds me of my Mother…
