I wish there had been  Mother-Daughter Book Clubs when I was a kid.  There were enough mothers and daughters for such a club right on my block; even right in my building. Perhaps we would have called it The Commodore Mother-Daughter Book Club, since the building's name was The Commodore.

A VERY Belated Post

I really meant to blog about this on Easter Monday, but the death of my Mom on Easter Sunday (which I didn't write

about until more than a month later), put it completely out
of my mind.

One of the things I gave up this past Lent was sugar in my tea. (I haven't put sugar in my coffee for years.)  Well, on Easter Sunday, I fixed a cup of tea with sugar, anticipating the sweet

taste.  Well, guess what!  I could not drink it!  I'd become too

used to the taste of tea without sugar.

Since then, I haven't been able to drink tea with sugar unless it also has lemon or lemon juice in it. 

And oh, how I love the smell of tea with lemon!
