…I Love About the Letter T

Tamales! With homemade Spanish rice and beans on Christmas Eve, with eggs on Christmas morning. Oh who am I kidding, I love them any time of the year! There’s a dozen in my freezer right now!
Tatting. I am a self taught tatter. I have a baby bonnet as a perpetual work in progress and my favorite finished projects are my snowflakes. Tatting is rythmic and soothing and highly portable. Often you can keep a whole project in a makeup case. And if you pack baby nail clippers instead of scissors, you can bring your project right on to an airplane.
(Chai) Tea. I get Vanilla Spice by the case from Mocafe. You get free shipping when you buy in bulk. My day just can’t get a proper start without my chai.
Keeping Track of Time on my cuckoo clock. (follow the link, then click on the picture for a good view).
a Tanker. My husband started off his Army career as a Tank Platoon Leader in the Gulf War.
Thomas Kinkade– I absolutely love to see how his paintings change as the lights are lowered or raised. Absolutely amazing.
The Tiki Room– After a hot day of standing in line at Disneyland, sitting in the shade of the courtyard, eating a pineapple spear and watching the tikis come to life is just what your poor aching feet need. Then you can sit in the air conditioned Tiki Room and enjoy the show. I bet you can even sing along…
Tradition, when it is meaningful, not done just for the sake of tradition. Traditions connect us to both our past and our future.
Tasha the Cat (Fluffy, not Fat), our beloved animal companion of 18 years. I had her for over half my life. I’m hoping that the Good Lord who cares for the lilies of field will see fit to bring our faithful little kitty to heaven for us.
Taking a walk along the Potomac with my family. Just a block and a half from our house, we can stroll along this amazing river. We can see the Washington Monument, the US Capitol and the Jefferson Memorial on our treks.
