Sun Tea--Safe? and Cute New Hat



 Sun Tea Is Popular In The South—But Is It Safe To Drink?

I say NO. I won't even drink tea the next day. 

We will never get this list done! When I finally got the list in the car, we did little. I was looking at it the next day and forgot to put it back in my purse. I was steaming mad at myself. Today, we went out with list but after 4 pm. So, I had a list on paper but only wanted to get certain items--2 packs of Dasani water, 5 lb bag of Arm and Hammer baking soda. From DT he got 2 cartons of shelf stable milk. It is good to meet goals, even small ones. DT milk was still $1.25--good deal. 

These were regular items for stock up, nothing for prepping or in advance of tariff prices. But, I would hate to wait too late to get them. I use baking soda for cleaning, especially stainless-steel sink. I keep a Kraft cheese shaker of it on sink. Tommy loves it. I don't bake anymore, so rarely use it there. 

My right hip is more swollen, burns, and impedes my walking ability. 

For The last two months, I have seen women wearing a hat I want. Actually, these were black women, girls and babies. I figure the hats are from many of the boutiques here run by black owners. The hats were crocheted granny squares with a ruffled crocheted brims. So cute. And, they would hide dirty hair or gray roots. The women were too far away or had a child or children they needed to watch in traffic in the parking lot. My hat is just rows of triple crochet. 

Yesterday, I saw a young woman with a cute dark, hot pink hate. I told Tommy to roll down the window and give a toot. She came over and I told her I loved her hat, where did she get it so I could get one. She pulled off the hat and stuck it in the window to Tommy. I thanked her for letting me try it on. She said, "Oh, you can have it." I objected; she insisted. 

Tommy approved, "That looks cute on you!" I could see the brim when I put it on. Annoying. So, I tilt it back , and it looks even better. It sort of looks like I am wearing a night cap. Have you ever seen these on people? I could crochet these if I could crochet right now. The cap at the top is multicolor, but mine is solid. 

Plans for tomorrow are to get xray, get title for car, and buy laptop.

What are your plans for the rest of this week?

  1. I recently bought a new laptop computer. Tomorrow I am going to a class to learn how to use it. I have always used a PC with windows. I finally made the decision to move to an Apple MacBook. I had one hell of a time getting it set up. I spent hours on the phone with Apple's technicians. They are very patient and are available 24 hours a day!

    I found a great price at Costco. Before I actually purchased it my Daughter took me to an Apple store near her. I had a few questions that they were able to answer.

    It has been a long time since I have had to learn a new system or program. I know that I will be able to master it. I am not unfamiliar with Apple products I had an iPad at one time but gave it to my son. I use an iPhone and wear an apple watch.

    I wish you the best luck in choosing a new laptop. Honestly I get confused when shopping for one. Memory? Hard drive? etc..

    1. Janet,
      That is the problem--trying to figure out memory size, hard drive size. I hate that part. I am getting an HP since I love them. Hate Dell. Maybe I will go to Cosco.

  2. That was so nice of her to give you the hat! I hope your hip gets to feeling better soon!

    1. Belinda,
      I was so shocked! I wore it the rest of the day. My hip is only getting worse, at least stiffer.

Okay, hoping the annoyances have gone away.
