It’s Monday again but it’s OK. The weekend was good but it’s back to our weekly activities such as work and that sort of thing. Have a great day my friends! Love and peace to you all.
A Social Me
In social situations in the past I found that I was probably a nuisance, an over eager puppy wanting to meet the next person who came in. I am a friendly person who enjoys a two-way conversation. I guess these days I find myself being very subdued and less eager.
Something About Having Joy
Joy is something everyone needs in life to make it better. Sure you have happiness and euphoria and bliss but joy is something that seems to be different, more meaningful. There is a old church song I have joy, joy, joy down in my heart and you know that is where it starts. Good things can come from the heart if we are inspired.
In this mean world we live in joy can be the salve that can heal burns and wounds. Joy can be infectious too. When you have joy people pick up on it and hopefully want what you got. I am giving you some joy today and I hope you will spread it around to your friends, family and strangers who desperately need some themselves.
Joy, Grace and Peace everyone, everywhere.

Status Update
Celebrated, napped, did computer stuff, blogged a little, watched Justify win the Kentucky Derby and checked out Star Wars: The Last Jedi on Blu Ray. Yep it’s been a good day.
Mint Julep Iced Tea
For a little beverage action on Derby Day. Mint Julep Iced Tea is quite good.
Sweet and refreshing, with a bourbon kick!
- 1 quart-sized tea bag
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp mint flavoring
- Kentucky-brand bourbon
- Fresh mint to garnish (optional)
Brew tea in 3 cups (or so) of water; allow to steep until very strong. Remove tea bag, squeezing out all the goodness, and stir in sugar and flavoring. When ready to serve, fill glass with ice, pour in tea, and top with desired amount of bourbon (I used about 3/8 cup). Stir and top with sprig of mint if desired.
