Nothing great happened today, at least nothing photo-worthy. We’re expecting some ice and freezing rain……wait….halting ..posting ..process…..
(Time passes)
Ok, we’re back. As I typed that, I realized that earlier in the day I had covered my truck’s windshield and doors with a sheet so getting the ice off would be easier. (We don’t have a garage). Just now I told Lloyd that we should go do that for his car, too. The rain is already coming down, so this picture is taken from inside my coat to avoid getting the camera wet. “Good night, Honda.”
Ok, back to the dumb tea thing. Boy, now it seems like I’ve wasted two posts here, but I’m plowing on. When I was little, my mom would make ‘Tang Tea’, also known as ‘Russian Tea’. The original recipe has all kinds of ingredients – unsweetened tea, sugar, lemonade mix, Tang, cinnamon & cloves. Nowadays I just cut to the chase and put lemon tea mix & Tang together and shake in some spices. This year it was particularly hard to make, since the lid on the Tang wasn’t put back on correctly and the good ol’ Nebraska humidity has turned this into one giant Tang pellet. (scrape, scrape, scrape) No measuring involved, so it always turns out differently every time. Hey, it’s hot and orangey, and that’s what I’m going for!
UPDATE: I’ve been up since 5:08, when Lloyd got the call that his school was closed. I can never sleep on these days, because I get all worried fot no good reason. Anyway, I’m waiting to hear when I should go into work, and I wanted to show the success of the sheets. Peeling them is like using a giant Biore Pore Strip for your car. I was a little worried about hurting the windshield wipers, but going slowly worked well.
