Iced tea on a Summer's evening

[left-of-center2012]

I was thinking today about when I was a kid, back in the 1950‘s.
On warm summer evenings the family would gather under a big tree in front of our farm house, sit, and drink cold ice tea, hoping for a breeze.

There was a narrow country road that passed our place. Cars would occasionally drive by; they’d honk and wave, and we’d all wave back.

Life was simpler then ... sixty years ago.

2. Those were good times...

Family was most important. Politics were an occasional concern. TV sucked, though.

3. This morning I was remembering winter in the 50s

How cold that outhouse was and remembering the time the hand pump froze.

I hadn't thought about those days for a long time.

I recall as you do, sitting outside in late July hoping for a breeze. The still air thick and humid and the iced tea glasses dripping condensation.

4. Well, I'm drinking Sun Tea I 'brewed' on my patio this afternoon at this very moment

So there's that at least

5. Iced tea. Not shit in an aluminum can...

Real iced tea. With lemon and sugar and tea that you brewed yourself.

Or lemonade from real squeezed lemons.
