MY PINEAPPLE SAGE BUSH Although, I love coffee, I do drink black tea in the summer. Hot coffee was not an option in the afternoons. I could not sit  on my porch drinking a hot beverage when the weather was  over 90 degrees! I had a friend who loved tea. I asked her advice on which  tea was good for a beginner.  She took me to the mall  to visit her favorite tea shop. I was impressed because there was several types of loose tea in decanters.  Black tea was my favorite after drinking samples of teas. I bought a cute tea pot that had angels on it. A cute baggie  of black tea was also purchased. I still had a dilemma. I didn't want to ride to the mall for tea  every day. That tea was too expensive for me too buy often. I settled for organic black tea from a nearby market. Making  several glasses of tea from single serving tea bags was tedious. I didn't like tea in gallon jugs from the grocery store. The market  near my house only had family ...

  I used to shake my head at young people buying expensive espresso and caramel latte drinks. I couldn't understand why they waited in  a long line at coffee shops and bistros. This summer as been one of the hottest on record in the city where I live.  I was ordering fast food. when the take-out food cashier asked me to try  one of their  ice coffee drinks. I asked if they had  mocha  flavor. It was 98 degrees outside, so  I agreed  to try an expensive large mocha ice coffee. It was delicious and refreshing.  No way, could I afford to get iced coffee every day. I noticed that the restaurants or coffee shops started with brewed unflavored coffee. They added flavorings like caramel, chocolate, mocha, and other seasonal flavors per customer requests. I went home and experimented with making  my own  flavored iced coffee drinks. They may not have whipped cream on top, but they tasted good!  I noticed that the restaurants or co...

    I love watching videos about gardening. Five years ago,  lots of videos were about, regrowing grocery store  vegetables. I was intrigued and tried to regrow a few of them.  Most of the veggies had to have roots on the bottom.  Beets and carrots on grew bunches  leaves.  There were no new carrots or beets to harvest. The only veggies I could regrow  successfully were  yellow onions, green onions, leeks,  and celery. I usually buy new celery stalks when I want to  replace damaged celery stalks in my tote. My celery stalks can be harvested all year long. My five-gallon blue tote stay full of  celery because I add new celery roots when grocery store has it on sale. The celery in the blue tote shown below just had the "big chop" Here is how I regrow celery: I remove celery stalks from the plastic bag. I cut the bottom half of the celery off the stalks.  I remove the first layer of cut stalks from the bottom.  This...

  WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY JULY 4TH CELEBRATION! 😇😎

 

I am a Senior lady who like to dress nice.  I like  to be  fashionable but never flashy  or gaudy. The styles  I wear are classic  and somewhat trendy. That doesn't  mean I follow the latest clothing trends  of  twenty-year-old ladies! I have been retired for  a while. I no longer  need to wear business casual clothing.   I like casual clothes like  t-shirts and jeans  during the week.  I like to wear relaxed fit clothing. I am short in statue so; long  baggy t-shirts and shirts don't fit well.   They make me look sloppy and dowdy. I was recently shopping at a discount store  that had closeouts on name brand pocket  t-shirts. They were marked down less than  three dollars!  I bought the shirts in several  colors. However, when I tried them on,  they were very long. I didn't feel like  doing alterations like sewing or hemming.  I remembered a style I saw ...
