    Tea Tuesday

    My summer drink of choice tends to be ice water with lemon slices and a bag of green tea.  The tea doesn’t “brew” since it’s ice water but it definitely flavors the water. 

    Today I have Yogi Lemon Ginger Green tea flavored water.

    I love today’s quote….

    Hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Too hot for Tea

    Much to my surprise this morning this is what I saw when I pulled open the shades.

    Can we say humid!?!  That condensation is on the OUTSIDE of our windows. It’s not even like we run our A/C very cool…it’s just that thick out there.

    (“mini-me” says I look like a deer in this photo…I don’t see it.)

    Through the patio door we can usually see the kids playset…now just the yellow blob of the slide.

    Keeping my fingers crossed that lacrosse will be cancelled again tonight. To dangerous to practice in this heat for anyone…much less kids.

    Tired Tuesday

    After a fun filled, busy weekend… it’s hard to believe that it’s already Tuesday.

    We over-indulged…

    Enjoyed a carnival both from great heights…

    and with our feet firmly planted on the ground…

    The people watching is always fun…

    Of course, we still had more fun to pack in yesterday…

    A car show…

    Parade…

    Tractor rides for the kiddos…

    We never even made it to fireworks. Everyone was tired, sweaty and slightly sunburned. A shower and bed sounded like the best option.

    This morning the kids and I took my mom out to visit my dad’s grave. He would have been 84 today. We left red, white & blue flowers and placed little stones on his marker. I think it would have made him very happy. He always said he was a late firecracker.  He always treated the 4th of July as part of his birthday celebration too. Time for family, friends and fun. Makes me happy to think of it as that way as well.

    Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday weekend!  I think I need a nap now!
