As we prepare to celebrate our country's independence, I thought I'd share some yummy images I gathered from the internet. I apologize if I used your image and did not give you proper credit.

Southern Sweet Tea or Southern Wine

Southern Living

It occurred to me, I have never posted a recipe for Tea. Growing up, tea was always in our refrigerator or "Frigidaire," as I called it back then.

Enjoy!!

Southern Sweet Tea
3 cups water
2 family size tea bags
1/2 to 1 cup sugar
7 cups cold water

Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan, add tea bags.
Boil 1 minute, remove from heat. Cover and steep 10 minutes.

Remove and discard tea bags.
Add desired amount of sugar, stirring until dissolved.

Pour into a 1 gallon container, and add 7 cups cold water.
Serve over ice.

Peach Tea

Stir together 1 1/2 quart sweet tea made with 1/2 cup sugar; add 1 (33.8 oz) bottle peach nectar and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Stir well. Serve over ice.

Makes about 2 1/2 quarts

I found this great website while looking for stylish tunics. I love the fun prints, and the prices are very affordable. Check it out. http://www.tracynegoshian.com/

Summer Break...

I am on Summer Break, and it is hot here!!! I guess the kids and I will be doing alot of swimming to stay cool.  I am not excited about putting a swimsuit on, though. N.O! At this point, what else can I do? I will just "suck. it. up" and suffer the embarrassment.

I seriously need to lose some weight. :(

Enough whining. I am looking forward to hanging out with the kids, and traveling.
