Hi there kids I am so
glad to see you today.
00:00:01.98\00:00:04.29
Welcome to grandma's kitchen
and I have some of my other
00:00:04.32\00:00:08.53
favorite granddaughters
here and we decided that since
00:00:08.56\00:00:12.26
it's a rainy day we
should do something fun inside.
00:00:12.29\00:00:15.95
And what did that
fun thing decide to be?
00:00:15.99\00:00:18.92
Kristen what are we
doing? - A tea party!
00:00:18.95\00:00:21.50
A tea party does that
sound like fun? - yeah!
00:00:21.53\00:00:24.04
And who did we
invite? - Our grandmas!
00:00:24.07\00:00:28.52
Our grandmas they're our special
guests, so what we want to do
00:00:28.55\00:00:33.23
today is learn a little bit
about manners and etiquette.
00:00:33.26\00:00:37.90
Do you know that word etiquette?
00:00:37.94\00:00:39.74
Well I'll give you a
definition for that word.
00:00:39.77\00:00:42.03
It's just when you are
having guests and you want to be
00:00:42.06\00:00:45.80
on your best behavior you
want to treat them just right.
00:00:45.83\00:00:49.38
There is a little saying
you can remember and it says,
00:00:49.42\00:00:54.01
true courtesy is to do and
say the kindest thing in the
00:00:54.05\00:00:58.55
kindest way, and that is
another way of saying that you
00:00:58.59\00:01:02.44
want to think about your
guests and what they need and
00:01:02.47\00:01:06.29
how to make them happy.
00:01:06.32\00:01:08.17
You guys I know you
all have grandma, right?
00:01:08.20\00:01:10.75
You've been practicing making
your grandmas happy for years.
00:01:10.79\00:01:14.15
Haven't you Rachel.
00:01:14.18\00:01:15.35
So we have been cooking
up a storm as you can see.
00:01:15.39\00:01:18.56
Look at all the good stuff.
Kristen tell us what you have
00:01:18.60\00:01:21.28
on that side - I've
got fruit salad. - yeah.
00:01:21.31\00:01:24.60
It looks good and what is
in it? - blueberries, melons,
00:01:24.64\00:01:28.74
and grapes. - grapes absolutely.
00:01:28.77\00:01:31.36
And Rachel you have been
stirring up something over here.
00:01:31.39\00:01:34.36
What is that? - sandwich
spread. - good, we are going
00:01:34.39\00:01:37.33
to have little sandwiches.
00:01:37.36\00:01:38.98
And faith what have you
got over there for dessert?
00:01:39.01\00:01:41.76
Look at those, what is in
there? We call those crumpets.
00:01:41.80\00:01:46.84
They're just little tarts
with raspberry and lemon and
00:01:46.87\00:01:51.88
other things, we have
lots of goodies today.
00:01:51.91\00:01:54.00
So are we girls ready
to go to work? - yes, yes.
00:02:15.87\00:02:19.41
So let me get you some knives
what we ought to do first I
00:02:19.44\00:02:22.74
think is we will
start making sandwiches,
00:02:22.77\00:02:25.65
does that sound good to you?
00:02:25.69\00:02:28.69
Does that look good?
00:02:38.30\00:02:43.57
¤
00:02:43.60\00:02:44.57
Oh one more!
00:03:16.82\00:03:18.28
Oh Excellent, Excellent
00:03:23.23\00:03:25.93
So they passed the
taste test. Alright!
00:03:27.82\00:03:30.36
Beautiful, remember
we need 8 flower vases.
00:03:40.53\00:03:44.30
I think this one's ready.
00:03:48.19\00:03:50.48
Just set it aside
will make some more.
00:03:52.45\00:03:53.74
Faith do you want
to do something? -Yes!
00:03:53.77\00:03:55.03
Grandma could you help
me? - sure I can help you.
00:04:07.44\00:04:12.24
Well we are finally at the
table and our guests are here.
00:04:13.94\00:04:16.85
Let me introduce you to
the other grandmas we have.
00:04:16.88\00:04:19.30
We have grandma Herriot,
and grandma Ellen Ann, and this
00:04:19.34\00:04:25.88
is my own mother and
she is a grandma somebody,
00:04:25.92\00:04:28.91
this is Helen, and this is
Faith's grandmother, Virginia.
00:04:28.95\00:04:34.54
Didn't the girls do a
nice job? - they worked hard.
00:04:34.58\00:04:38.04
Well I think we are ready
to have our blessing and taste
00:04:38.07\00:04:43.02
all the goodies that
the girls have prepared.
00:04:43.05\00:04:45.85
So Kristen would you
mind offering the blessing
00:04:45.89\00:04:48.65
for us to today please?
00:04:48.69\00:04:50.45
Dear Father, thank you for
this food we are about to eat.
00:04:50.48\00:04:54.09
Amen. - Amen. Oh finally.
00:04:54.12\00:04:59.26
ēGroup talking to each other.Ń
00:05:09.44\00:05:16.30
Oh what a
delicious dinner we've had.
00:05:38.50\00:05:41.32
The girls did an outstanding
job and our grandmas have
00:05:41.35\00:05:44.62
been wonderful, but you
know there is more to come?
00:05:44.65\00:05:47.71
I invited one of my grandsons,
Timmy to come and play
00:05:47.75\00:05:52.16
his harp for us so I
think we should leave these
00:05:52.20\00:05:55.59
dirty dishes here and
all right and we will meet
00:05:55.63\00:05:58.99
you in the parlor kids. Come on!
00:05:59.02\00:06:00.65
Hi Timmy, would you
introduce yourself to
00:06:00.69\00:06:05.29
all the grandmas here?
00:06:05.32\00:06:07.58
My name is Timmy Kosaka
and I'm from Auburn Washington.
00:06:07.61\00:06:10.56
I will be playing for
you some songs on my harp.
00:06:10.60\00:06:13.88
Ah, thank you so much.
00:06:13.92\00:06:15.87
How long have you
been playing the harp?
00:06:15.91\00:06:17.64
I've been
playing for five years.
00:06:17.67\00:06:19.25
How old are you
now? - I'm 10- wonderful.
00:06:19.28\00:06:22.12
Take it away
Timmy. Entertain us!
00:06:22.15\00:06:24.51
(Playing harp)
00:06:35.41\00:06:40.68
Wonderful, Timmy thank
you so much for coming down.
00:07:43.69\00:07:47.23
We enjoyed you so much.
- thank you for having me.
00:07:47.27\00:07:50.74
Oh you are welcome. Boys
and girls I would like for you
00:07:50.78\00:07:54.99
to take down my address
to drop me a note, or tell me
00:07:55.03\00:07:58.50
about anything at all
that is going on in your life.
00:07:58.54\00:08:01.98
You know I love
the letters you send.
00:08:02.01\00:08:04.10
So if you've got your paper
and pencil ready, get ready
00:08:04.13\00:08:07.66
to jot it down and I'll
be back in just a moment.
00:08:07.69\00:08:09.63
So here it is:
00:08:09.66\00:08:11.48
hey kids Graham Joyce
would love to hear from you
00:08:13.28\00:08:15.82
so why not sit down
and write her a letter?
00:08:15.85\00:08:18.39
Like every grandma
she loves to get pictures,
00:08:18.43\00:08:20.93
drawings or
anything you could sent her.
00:08:20.96\00:08:24.00
Just write to:
00:08:24.04\00:08:28.35
So what are you
waiting for? Write her today.
00:08:36.80\00:08:39.33
Oh that was such
a fun time we had.
00:08:43.04\00:08:45.46
I hope it maybe gave
you an idea or two about how
00:08:45.49\00:08:48.28
you might want to do
something special for your own
00:08:48.32\00:08:51.50
grandma, if you have
one, or how about doing it for
00:08:51.54\00:08:54.68
somebody else
you want to make feel
00:08:54.72\00:08:57.37
especially appreciated.
00:08:57.41\00:08:59.42
It is a very good thing to
show appreciation to people
00:08:59.45\00:09:03.22
we love and it is an extra
blessed thing to show respect
00:09:03.25\00:09:06.98
and appreciation to
somebody who might be lonely,
00:09:07.02\00:09:09.64
tired or sad.
00:09:09.68\00:09:11.79
Another word we might use to
describe tea parties and such
00:09:11.83\00:09:16.22
is hospitality, that just
means a friendly and generous
00:09:16.26\00:09:20.61
reception of guests,
visitors, or strangers.
00:09:20.65\00:09:23.32
It is so much fun to be
hospitable, and making tea
00:09:23.35\00:09:27.19
is just one way to do it.
00:09:27.22\00:09:29.04
Right now I am experimenting
with making tea from
00:09:29.08\00:09:33.24
plants I have in my own yard.
00:09:33.28\00:09:34.84
Out in the garden I
have two kinds of mint.
00:09:34.87\00:09:37.24
They make my favorite
kind of tea, one variety is
00:09:37.28\00:09:41.64
peppermint and the
other is spearmint.
00:09:41.68\00:09:44.03
It's hard to choose, I
think they are both delicious.
00:09:44.06\00:09:47.02
Ummmm, Hey, you know mint grows
pretty easily, why don't you
00:09:47.05\00:09:52.96
ask your mom if you can
grow some in a pot or in
00:09:53.00\00:09:55.50
a corner of the garden?
00:09:55.53\00:09:57.89
Just go to a garden
store and ask where they have
00:09:57.93\00:10:00.43
all the herbs, it will
be right there with parsley
00:10:00.46\00:10:02.92
and the other stuff.
00:10:02.96\00:10:04.34
They are sold in little
pots already growing so all
00:10:04.38\00:10:07.46
you have to do is plant
them in the ground or in a
00:10:07.49\00:10:10.54
bigger pot with more room.
00:10:10.57\00:10:12.07
In fact if you have the
room it might be really fun to
00:10:12.10\00:10:16.24
grow a whole herb garden.
00:10:16.27\00:10:18.02
You will have a blast
with all the pungent aromas and
00:10:18.06\00:10:21.59
flavors and your mom will
love having fresh herbs to
00:10:21.62\00:10:25.12
make your favorite food.
00:10:25.15\00:10:26.93
You can make an herb garden
in a basket or a flower pot.
00:10:26.96\00:10:31.19
Just pick out two or three
or four of your favorite herbs
00:10:31.23\00:10:35.34
and fill a flower pot about
halfway full of potting mix.
00:10:35.37\00:10:39.23
Then take your plants out
of their plastic containers.
00:10:39.27\00:10:43.09
See they look like
this can you see that?
00:10:43.13\00:10:45.34
And pop them right into the pot.
00:10:45.38\00:10:48.42
Then you fill the pot up
the rest away with more soil and
00:10:48.46\00:10:51.75
wall la you have an herb garden.
00:10:51.79\00:10:55.13
It is really fun to take a
leaf from each of the different
00:10:55.17\00:10:57.81
plants and rub them
between your fingers.
00:10:57.85\00:11:01.10
Ummmm let out their aroma
and you can see which ones
00:11:01.14\00:11:05.71
you like best. Ummmm,
anyway I usually make mint tea,
00:11:05.74\00:11:09.48
but today I have decided
to try something different.
00:11:09.51\00:11:13.21
I'm just starting to
make some Clover tea.
00:11:13.25\00:11:15.92
I have never tried this
before but you know the Clover
00:11:15.96\00:11:19.66
smells so good growing
along the road and I thought it
00:11:19.70\00:11:23.37
would be fun to see
what it tastes like.
00:11:23.40\00:11:25.19
So I just picked some
blossoms and washed them off and
00:11:25.23\00:11:28.65
dunked them in hot water.
00:11:28.68\00:11:30.64
After they've been in
there for a few minutes to get
00:11:30.67\00:11:32.95
the flavor out, but it
looks like it might be tea
00:11:32.98\00:11:35.22
to me in any minute. Ummmm.
00:11:35.26\00:11:37.91
Hey, Did you know that God
smiles from ear to ear when
00:11:37.94\00:11:41.64
you are
hospitable? He really does.
00:11:41.68\00:11:44.45
The Bible even says that
some people have entertained
00:11:44.48\00:11:48.00
angels when they
thought they were just
00:11:48.03\00:11:50.39
being hospitable to someone.
00:11:50.42\00:11:52.60
And in another place it
tells us you can not refresh
00:11:52.63\00:11:55.59
another person without
getting some of it on you.
00:11:55.62\00:11:59.05
So it becomes a double
blessing, one for them,
00:11:59.08\00:12:02.47
and one for you.
00:12:02.51\00:12:04.35
You know when we did
our tea party it was pretty
00:12:04.39\00:12:07.69
fancy, but please
don't think it has to be
00:12:07.72\00:12:09.66
like that all the time.
00:12:09.69\00:12:10.95
I just did it that way so
I could spend the whole day
00:12:10.99\00:12:14.36
together in the kitchen having
fun with my granddaughters.
00:12:14.39\00:12:17.29
If somebody stops by for
just a few minutes, showing
00:12:17.32\00:12:20.68
hospitality just might
mean giving them a glass of cool
00:12:20.72\00:12:24.35
water, or letting them
rest in your favorite chair.
00:12:24.38\00:12:27.36
If somebody gets hurt on
the playground, the best thing
00:12:27.40\00:12:30.63
to do might be to get help
or if it is not too bad just
00:12:30.67\00:12:33.73
helping the other boy or
girl get up again is hospitable.
00:12:33.76\00:12:36.79
The dictionary
says the whole idea is
00:12:36.82\00:12:40.05
to be friendly and generous.
00:12:40.09\00:12:42.56
Remember what I
told the girls at
00:12:42.59\00:12:45.63
the first of the program?
00:12:45.67\00:12:47.29
I said true courtesy is to
do and say the kindest thing in
00:12:47.32\00:12:51.54
the kindest way.
00:12:51.57\00:12:53.72
See all of this kind of
goes together, being kind and
00:12:53.76\00:12:56.33
courteous, hospitable,
friendly and generous.
00:12:56.36\00:12:59.35
They are all just ways
of saying the same thing.
00:12:59.38\00:13:03.01
Do unto others as you
want them to do to you.
00:13:03.05\00:13:06.65
Hmmm, where have
I heard that before?
00:13:06.68\00:13:10.65
Now here's another little
secret you might not know about
00:13:10.68\00:13:14.91
me, in my ordinary everyday
life sometimes I find it is
00:13:14.94\00:13:18.44
hard for me to witness for
Jesus like I think I should.
00:13:18.47\00:13:22.24
But what I have discovered
is this, God didn't make me
00:13:22.28\00:13:26.13
like any body else in He
doesn't expect me to do my work
00:13:26.17\00:13:29.99
for Him just like
anybody else either.
00:13:30.02\00:13:32.57
Whew that's a relief, so
don't you waste your time trying
00:13:32.60\00:13:37.20
to shine for Jesus
like somebody else does.
00:13:37.24\00:13:39.66
Just shine, God loves you
just the way you are and I do
00:13:39.70\00:13:45.39
too and you can take
that to the bank any day.
00:13:45.42\00:13:49.21
Now remember I love you
so much, but Jesus loves you
00:13:49.25\00:13:52.93
even more and one of
these days we are going to be
00:13:52.96\00:13:56.61
together for ever
and ever and ever.
00:13:56.64\00:14:01.31
I'm a little
teapot, short and stout.
00:14:02.39\00:14:06.56
Here is my
handle, here is my spout.
00:14:06.60\00:14:10.87
When I get all
steamed up, I will shout.
00:14:10.91\00:14:15.15
Tip me over and pour me out.
00:14:15.19\00:14:19.71
