Iced Tea
Iced tea is one of the best drinks in the world. Sweet tea, I mean. Not syrupy tea but just regular. I want to be able to taste it not only sugar. I am boiling me up some right now. Got the pitcher with the sugar in it waiting. Did you know that your tea is better when you let it steep? If you boil it and immediately mix it with the sugar and water, it is weak and not so good. Steeping, a very good thing, even though it means waiting. It would be neat if I could come up with some good spiritual analogy right now, but I don't think I can right now.

I have been out of my mind here lately. It is good to have a husband who can point that out and bring me back to a sane land. This house stuff has been ridiculous. I have been ridiculous.

The Plymouth Voyager that we had before we got the Honda Odyssey had 2 transmissions put in it. That is one of the reasons I bought a foreign made car. They have a tendency to be more reliable. Guess what? The Honda is at the shop getting a new transmission! Ha. Well, not ha really. And a catalic converter. All of this would normally cost into the thousands, really. The dealership, for some reason is fixing it all for free for me. I still don't comprehend it, cause I don't just get someone I don't know giving me thousands of dollars worth of something for free. It is a shame I am still wondering about it.

Well, I am going to help my husband paint our bedroom. It is the last room in the house to be painted. Every other room has had something done to it but ours. I am off to rectify the situation!

Here is my blog. It is the thoughts and feelings of an "aging," homeschooling housewife who serves at a local restaurant. I am an average everyday normal kind of person, although my "normalness" becomes less so in today's society. Read on and enjoy or just realize you may not be the only one.
