Anything worth doing...

Anything worth doing, is worth doing differently. - John Minden


The above is a quote from my father. He and my mother have been married for 28 years. And he always makes light of the craziness in a marriage, the banter back and forth, the sense of humor that the two parties must have to live together for almost 3 decades or more. My parents have been married longer then they haven't been married. It's a very good feeling. I hope to make it in my marriage. But when things get tight, I remember what my father says about his marriage and my mother.

While sitting on the couch next to my husband on our Christmas with my family, my father says to my mother: Anything worth doing, is worth doing differently. He says it in a light-hearted manner. But I take it to heart. Anything worth doing... is worth doing the way that is easier and better for everyone involved.

I love you, Daddy!

Tang Spiced Tea

My aunts make this instant drink mix at Christmas time and hand it out to all of the families. I remember drinking as much as I could. It's a great winter-time hot tea. I was having some hot cider today and realized that THIS is what I was missing. So I'm gonna go buy some Tang tomorrow and whip some of this up for next week. It'll be a great hot tea to take to school/work since I only have to add hot water!

1 1/3 c. Tang flavor beverage crystals
1/3 c. instant tea
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cloves

Mix together well and put in canister. Put 1 teaspoon per cup of hot water.
