Dear Tea....

On the 4th of July Tim and I spent the day with Caroline and Brendan. Brendan was the grill master and we had a terrific July 4th BBQ. I made a blueberry and strawberry pie that was delicious. It was my first attempt at making a pie and it was pretty good. While the boys were out on the patio putting a dent in the cooler, Caroline and I sat inside on the couch watching the Pops and flipping back and forth with the NYC fireworks. It was a wild 4th for us!

Caroline's mom had sent some chinese tea that her sister got at a shower. The chinese woman who gave the tea told her to drink this tea for good luck. In the cannister there were these pod like seed things that you drop into the hot water. Slowly inside the cup opened this large scary looking flower. Caroline and I each had some sips and before drinking said "Dear Tea..." we both wished for easy deliveries and healthy babies. I wish I had a cup of chinese good luck tea right about now. I would wish for contractions to get this baby moving!
