Hello everyone thanks for all the reading suggestions I am going to check them out we live right behind our public library so I have decided to start taking advantage and check out books again I have not checked out a library book since I was in high school I am excited.
Being from the south we love our sweet tea I make up to two gallons a day depending on if the kids are here all day so I thought I would share my recipe (now everyone makes their tea different this is how I make mine.)
Bring 2 family size Tetley Tea bags to a boil this is where Johnny and I disagree he brings his water to a boil then adds the tea bags. I put the tea bags in the water then bring to a boil. Once it comes to boil turn off.
Let it steep 3 to 5 mins
put one to two cups of sugar in the pitcher add hot tea on top of sugar let stand to melt sugar it making a simple syrup of sorts. Add water to pitcher put in fridge till cool. Serve over ice. Enjoy!
This makes one gallon.
My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks I am hinting about wanting this
Have a great day!
xoxo

Great minds think alike...this is exactly how I make my tea!
Like your pink bike! be sure and share if you get this!
Do you know that I make tea in our coffee maker? I put a cup of sugar, maybe a tad more depending in everyone's tastes, in a gallon sized pitcher. I fill it half way with cold water and give it a good stir. I place 3 tea bags in the coffee filter basket (minus the coffee filter) and fill the coffee maker with 48 oz. of water and let it brew just like I would coffee. When it's done, I pour it into the pitcher, give it another good stir, and put it in the fridge. Mmm...so good!
That cruiser is so cute!!
I'd love it if I lived behind the library! I'd be there every single day!
that's exactly how I make my tea! And Santa brought me a pink bike very similar to that year before last.....it's a Roxy bike
April I have made it in the coffee maker sometimes too
That bike is adorable!! Hope you get it! If I lived right by a library I would probably be there every day. I just love going to the library!
Love Love Love the Pink Bike!! It rocks!!! I hope you get it :D
Oh and I just got a book from the library the other day and I am already half way through it. It is called It Only Takes a Moment by Mary Jane Clark. I don't know what kind of books you like but on the back from Publishers Weekly it says "Virtually everyone is a suspect." and from Booklist "Clark has perfected the suspense novel where in classic Christie fashion everyone is a potention suspect."
Has is caught your interest yet? In brief it is about a kidnapping of a TV reporters' 7 year old little girl. It has been really good so far........
I make the worlds worst sweet Tea! We grew up drinking unsweet tea and that is all I know how to make. I will try it your way!
OOO Girl I LOVE the pictures of this bike and I will have to take a PICTURE OF MY PINK BIKE! It is NOT as pink as this but I LOVE IT! I have just found the MOST PERFECT BASKET to go on the front of my bike! I will have to share PICTURES with you soon!
great vintage style bike, does it come in blue!
Hi Carrie -
That bike is FABULOUS. What a great birthday gift that would be! I have a cruiser (although not as cute) and I love cruising around the neighborhood on it!
I love going to the library. I was going to suggest Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series to you. That is my favorite series. I have read it probably 8 times. Also, your package should be coming either tomorrow or Friday. I had to make sure the resin had set up fully before I shipped the pendant. Gone with the Wind is in the package. So if you read that it should keep you busy for a while (I think it's 800 pages or something).
Have a great night!
XOXO

That's how my parents make sweet tea but I use a Mr Coffee tea maker (very old model). My BFF has a newer model and the tea isn't as good.
I would love to have a bike too. I hope you get one!
Good grief...haven't checked out a book since high school!! You should be ashamed! Get that bike, put a basket on it & ride to the library!! I have a light green one like this with a basket on the front. I love it. I need to get a seat for LIttle Package so she can ride. It will soon be cool enough to ride again here.
I love sweet tea so this is great! Thanks for sharing. I hope you get your bike. I want one like that too.
Let me explain I read all the time I just have always rather buy the books because I love to reread them but am running out of room so thats the reason for wanting to start going to the library again.
OMGoodness! I absolutely LOVE sweet tea and I will try this recipe:) I also love that bike...I want one too, with a little basket:)
Oh what an adorable bike!!! I hope you get it!!! Let us know for sure!!!!
Have a great day!
I love sweet tea...oh yum with a big lemon!

I LOVE that bike, you'd definitely have the cutest one around! Happy early birthday!
I love sweet tea too!
I was just at the library today for the first time in a while. I love getting the books on cd there as well as the books. I love your bike and I am going to make your sweet tea. Sounds so yummy.
Wait you did a "what should I read"? You should read The Sookie Stackhouse books!!! They are my most favorite EVER! Do you watch True Blood? -the books are way better! read em! :)
