Mint Lemonade
It’s been almost a year now since we said our “I Do’s,” and although the year has gone by rather quickly, we’ve enjoyed every minute of it! Since our anniversary falls on a weeknight, we decided to celebrate this weekend. Our baker made us a special anniversary cake that we took with us to our mini vacation at the hotel where we held our reception. It was great to get away. Of course, we didn’t do away with an anniversary dinner. It’s hard to believe a whole year has gone by — hopefully many Many more years to come.
What better way to end an anniversary weekend, than by having the Hubby wash our cars and the balcony furniture. It was hard to resist, since the weather was somewhere in the 80s this afternoon. As he washed the cars, I did my part by making the balcony furniture easy to access for washing. Then I made my way into the kitchen to whip up some refreshing lemonade — a simple way to treat the Hubby for his hard work.

Nice! I have mint growing all over my garden, and am always looking for new ways to use it. Never thought of adding it to lemonade – but it’s a great idea! Thanks!
