I’m having a hard time getting my head around the last Saturday in July! It is also time for Linda G Hill weekly Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Check out Linda for more writing prompts. Quick recap. Stream of Consciousness just requires we take the prompt and write. Don’t worry about editing. Just enjoy and see where it goes.
Tea is an item I associate with my mother. People coming for tea, the tea-pot always full or at least on the stove and ready. To have tea you had to sit down and slow down. Even for a minute. This was big for my mother who was constantly on the go.
We had a large oil stove when I was growing up and that is where all the cooking and baking happened. I remember my mother heading to the basement to get the oil, lugging it upstairs and flipping the drum over on the stove into the opening. This is a woman who maybe weighed 100 pounds. So stopping for tea – that was a good thing.
Hmmm…..that is stream of consciousness at it’s best. Tea to oil stove to weight.
You can always start now!
Hot tea with Grandma McKay after school and summertime we had iced sun tea with my Mom. Both refreshing and relaxing, and good times with wonderful ladies.

I have good memories of having tea also. The making, sitting and conversation.

I was always and still am always amazed by the strength mothers show. My grannies were just like this. Tea always vital too!

Tea was often offered when not feeling well. Have a cup of tea – like that would take care of the world! Surprise it often did make things better.
