YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited!!! Ok first off.......
I am a tea person, no coffee for me! I have tried to drink coffee several times, and all I end up with is a stomach ache!!! But I have always liked tea, there is something about tea! So soothing and relaxing!
So my friend in England turns me onto this great tea called PGTips. Oh my this is the best tea ever!!!!! Freakin' puts Lipton to shame!!!!!
When I came back from England I brought back with me like over 100 teabags, plus a tea pot!! I should get a picture of it, it is quite lovely! For months, I would send her money thru paypal and she would send me out my tea!!! I also found a wonderful decaff tea too called Typhoo.
Well, the last exchange of money for tea never happened!!! I sent the money, but never got the tea!! I forgive her, she is very busy and I know it sits on her computer desk waiting to get shipped out! So I have been tealess for months...I did try Red Rose, but still no comparison to the smooth taste of PGTips!
Well HOT DAMN!!! I was grocery shopping this morning and low and behold, there in the "International" aisle.......PGTIPS!!! A box of 80 bags!!! YAHOOOOO!!!! I also saw Typhoo too but decided to get my PGTips first, next week-Typhoo! Oh I know I'm crazy paying $5.50 for 80 tea bags, but you don't understand how good it is!!! I now know why there was even a Boston Tea Party!!! Sorry, but American tea just does not compare!!!! I'm sipping a huge mug of it right now!! So happy and content!!!!
Oh and did you know that "Tea" is perhaps the second most evocative three-letter-word word in the English language. Discovered about 5,000 years ago, "the lusty leaf," as it was called by early 18th century preachers who considered it a troublemaker, has caused wars and presided over the most peaceful moments. Struggles over the tea trade threw the two largest empires of the 19th century against one another, and shaped the world map as we know it today.
And one more thing about tea....I've been making ice tea for my family, well my kids are so spoiled from this wonderful English tea that when I would use Red Rose, they would say, Mom, that tastes like sweet water, NOT tea!!!
Ok now for some other good news!!!! I love to save photo's and graphics from the net. I also have wanted to use some pics I have found up here on my blog.....So I search out images and go to save them, right click and use "save as" Well the freakin' things would be in art or bitmap, saved but never to be use again!!!!!! In order to post anything here, or even send out in an email everything has to be in jpeg! Sooooo frustrating!!! I finally figured it out and was able to save my settings to save in jpeg!! YEAH!!!!! Be aware, lots more graphics and pics to come!
Have a great weekend everyone!!! Boy it seems we just had a weekend!!! This week went fast!!
