A place where we can "do life" together, or at least talk about it. You won't be told "that is off topic" here. Share experiences, get advice, be silly, be sad, be supportive.

I am so bad about keeping myself hydrated. Living in the desert, dehydration can be life threatening.
I have a patch of spearmint in my garden. I trimmed it up and brought in some sprigs. I have been putting a bruised sprig of mint and a slice of lemon in my water and have been drinking lots of water. It tastes so good. I really notice in my skin. Who knew.

Don't drink nearly as much as I need to. Hot here too. Drs tell me to as flushes out your kidneys. Love spearmint flavour, great idea. Have to look for a plant I can grow in hanging basket near door. Think parsley tea is good for kidneys or bladder.

I drink parsley tea too. Its not so tasty. Maybe I can muddle some of the delish summer fruits in it. I would love to have a hanging basket of herbs in my kitchen,

Staying hydrated is something I need to stay on top of too. :) What a great reminder. Love the idea of spearmint!

I was curious about that too, Bill. Had to look that up... apparently, pressing with a wooden spoon or pestle over half of the leaf will "bruise" it enough to release the mint without making it bitter. We learn something new every day. Thank you, Marion!

yum, water is so refreshing with a little lemon. I don't hv mint in garden, but imagine that is refreshing too. I add a squeeze of orange and lemon, when I hv both. Sometimes lime. basically whatever juice or citus I hv at the time.

Tomorrow is National Relaxation Day but seeing how we already had a Moment of Zen this week and today happens to be a Friday, how about some relaxation jokes instead?! Namaste... enjoy! Happy Friday!
