It is good to be back in Florida away from the heat of Washington, D.C.!! I know it sounds strange but it does not seem as hot here as when you are in the city. I love Washington but it is hard to love anything at 103 degrees.

I had this long before big cups were popular and it always felt a bit decadent and indulgent to have such a big cup of tea.
