A Spot of Tea

I am a really picky tea drinker....really picky.  Tazo Awake is my favorite tea and I like to make it one cup at a time, not steeped too long then poured over ice.  I thought this was some odd way of making iced tea that I had made up until V & I were on Coronado Island near San Diego and they made my tea this way at a quaint little bistro.  I take this tea with me when I travel but it makes me very joyful when I find it where I'm staying.  So take the time to enjoy a really good cup or glass of tea today!

H-Force Bulldogs

I miss my sister's family terribly since they moved to Canada, but I love getting to be involved in their lives even from so many miles away.  The nephews play hockey and the oldest is on a team they sponser called the H-Force Bulldogs.  I love the new logo!  I am in the process of working on tshirts for the team parents.  Hockey tshirts from Texas for the Canadians...ironic isn't it?

I mailed cereal to my nephew in Canada because they can't get his favorite kind there.  He, along with his other 2 brothers, were so excited to get this that they ate it all in less than 24 hours.  I am now in the process of packing 18 boxes of cereal to ship to them.  I love those boys!

The New Sink

I just recently had a new sink put in my bathroom.  I really like the yin/yang shape of it.  Obviously my cats do too....

Swiss Steak & Sunshine

I am day dreaming of a location that involves palm trees.  I will be in that location in 2 weeks!  In the meantime, this weekend I cooked Swiss steak (a family favorite) and spent alot of time out in the sunshine reading a book.

Strawberry Cake

I have decided to make Paula Deen's Simply Delicious Strawberry Cake for Easter lunch at my mom & dad's.  Of course, it has lots of butter...and cream cheese...  My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Just Finished This

I just finished reading this amazing book by Eric Metaxas.  I didn't want it to end the way it did, even though I knew what happened in the end.  An amazing man.  The world is a better place because he was in it...even if it was for just a short while.
