Tea time, is my favorite time. About eight o'clock to noon is my relaxing time. Grabbing a book or my drawing journal, sitting down and disconnecting for a while feels wonderful. Especially when I have a yummy drink. I love coffee, tea, you name it- I love it. Sometimes all the caffeine is too much so I try to drink something that is healthier for my body. Here is my morning favorite. ♥
Since it's almost summer, I thought it would be cute to share a DIY summer drink with you guys! Since I'm not an expert at cooking, credit for the recipe goes to Martha Stewart. :)
Ingredients: 1 cup granulated sugar 2 1/2 cups of fresh lemon juice, plus 4 lemons, thinly sliced crosswise, for garnish 1 1/2 cups superfine sugar 2 cups cranberry juice Directions: 1. Bring granulated sugar and 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium pan over high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until cooled, about 1 hour. 2. Add lemon juice, superfine sugar, cranberry juice, and 1 1/2 quarts water to a serving container. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 day. 3. To serve, add ice cubes to fill and garnish with lemon slices. 4. Enjoy! :) Okay, so this book review is just a bit different from the one Abby previously did, but I promise, it's a good one. :)
So, in my English class we are currently learning about the Civil Rights movements back in 1955 to 1968. We were assigned to read the book A Mighty Long Way, and know I'm here to share it with you! Alright. So, the book is based upon the life of Carlotta Walls LaNier, who is one of the nine Little Rock students who integrated from an all black school to an all white school back in September 3, 1957 (and that would make her 14 at the time). She shares her frightening story of integrating, and how it affected her along with her eight friends. But, getting into the school was harder then it normally should be. When they step foot on the grounds of Central High School, angry mobs and riots break loose filled with segregationists. National Guard is called, and is ordered to keep them out rather then let them in, even though the nine students had permission to go in. They do get in, and they do get the education deserved, along with generations to come. So, if your interested in a historical type book, and civil rights, then read this! I really enjoyed reading about her stories, and how she got through what she was put through. Just to add, she gave a speech to many schools around my community, including mine. I am so thankful that I was able to hear her speak to us! ♥If you have already read it, how did you enjoy it? Read it! Could be better.... Awful To be or not to be remembered?
Think of us as drops of water; All spread out in the never ending world we call the ocean. Millions upon billions of drops, never thought of, never heard. Like us. There are ones known, the ones who have been found. Those, are the sharks.. the fish... and all the living, known things, my friend. Then there is us. The fear resting in our minds, the fear of never being remembered, will slowly be the evaporation of us all. This is us. |
