Posted in Positive Exposure

When cats just want to hang out by the window and be lazy......

And Moms just want to hang out by the lake and take photos................

Sigh! Fall is in the air! If it is nice outside, we are going to be there......

And if it is cold outside, we are going to be inside, by the fireplace, enjoying the crackling blaze.

Here is a recipe for you. Chai!

My friend Pram, from India, makes this and it is oohh soo good!

First, make some black tea. She makes hers in a big pot. Then add some cardamom and let that simmer for awhile. I add cinnamon sticks, and you can add ginger if you want to. Cloves work too. But just use what you have. Then add sugar to taste, and milk.

Strain out all the spices....serve hot!

Yum....enjoy!

p.s. Please pray for our art opening that is happening THIS Thursday evening! We have over 125 pieces of art by homeschoolers that we are exhibiting at a library branch here. We are so happy!!!

I'm not into tea, but the laziness-thing sounds good. :-) I enjoyed the story about your 9-year-old at the Grand Canyon that you wrote on my blog. Aren't kids funny? :-)

Sounds like it's going to be quite a show. Maybe we'll come down for the opening on Thursday. When will the judging be complete? I want to go see the ribbons! We definately need to do tea! It's been tooooooo long. I'm glad to hear you got a taco, I forgot all about it! Figures!
Have a great opening. Let me know when you have some free time. Catch you soon.

About Me

Hi There!

Welcome to my blog.
How nice of you to drop in. What is this all about you say? Well, take a look and see.

Just like the plants springing forth we are following the Son, soaking up the living water and pulling the weeds. We can't wait to see what will bloom THIS growing season!

Oh, and just for fun, I will tell you a little about me, since that is what this space is for. :)

I am a mother of four lovely kids who are perfectly human in every way. They are sinful, selfish, loving, happy, grumpy, excited, capable, frustratable, (I know, that isn't a word but sometimes I make up my own) and sometimes contrite, and just like their parents. But they are ours and we think they are all keepers!

We have homeschooled them all since birth with the trial and error method. I think they all have "made the grade" and they are now 16, 13, 11 and 9 years old.

We're not experts, except in the area of making mistakes and living to tell about them and hopefully learn from them! We hope you will find some encouragement here as you read about the seasons of our life as a homeschooling family.
