Alone with my tea: March 2015
http://www.alonewithmytea.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2015. I've been hearing the verb, "To Make," quite a lot recently. The class didn't 'make' [because not enough students signed up for it].". Go to the gym to have your picture 'made' [for the yearbook].". Is this a Southern thing? I've never heard it used like this before. So what do you think? Do you say that you want to have your picture "made" or "taken? Do you think your dinner party didn't "make" because no one showed up? Brownies for my class tomorrow. Tuesday, March 17, 2015.

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Repost Coffee in Romania Travel Tuesday. TRAVEL TUESDAY REPOST COFFEE IN ROMANIA. I often meet interesting people while traveling. I find that if you are friendly, people will open up to you. They often relish a chance to practice their English. There was the Chinese girl who was studying abroad in Korea, the Israeli backpackers, the French girl who was flying to Romania to get a divorce…. 8220;To get divorced,” she replied. I was surprised at her bluntness. 8220;What do we do?

Monday, November 17, 2014. What I miss and don't miss about living in Brazil - Saudades para o Brasil. The pictures included in this post don't necessarily represent the text that they precede or follow. I just wanted to include some of my favorite photos from our year of living in Brazil.

I do miss the 10 minute walk to the beach. I've h...

Alone with my tea: August 2014
http://www.alonewithmytea.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2014. One of my bestests friends since childhood came to visit this weekend. She drove down from Nashville with her husband and it was just what I needed. It has been so good to spend time with like-minded people (fried food is bad! Organic food is good! Try telling that to a southerner! Lol) and spend some time at the beach. I definitely got spoiled last year when we lived within walking distance of the gorgeous Rio beaches! Photos taken with my iPhone. Thursday, August 28, 2014.

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. 2014 Resolutions - How did I do? My 2014 New Year's Resolutions. Were simple and easy. Let's see how I did. 1 Better than expected. It helps when I have a reason to practice, otherwise I don't bother. If I'm hired for a gig then I definitely practice! So far I've had a couple of opportunities to play this year, and it has been fun! 2 FAIL. Who was I kidding? This was a long-shot anyway. No pictures because it didn't happen.

Alone with my tea: Art Journal Update || Watercolor Backgrounds
http://www.alonewithmytea.com/2015/08/art-journal-update-watercolor.html
Saturday, August 8, 2015. Art Journal Update Watercolor Backgrounds. I left some white space on some of the pages so that he'd have a defined area for his text. Other pages were just painted fully and he can add text however he wants on top with the magic of computer editing. He said he wanted "clouds" or "clumps" of color. so that's what I tried to give him! I'll let you know if we ever get around to finishing them. And who knows - maybe we'll make them available as prints! I'd love to know! For my wedd...

The pages are thick card stock and feel very durable. I'm Jul...
