My cold is gone!

So, I have finally gotten rid of my cold! Yay!!! Last week I lost my voice, almost completely. That’s never fun. It seems like every year about this time I loose my voice…and it’s a growing tradition I would rather do without. The most annoying thing about loosing your voice, at least for me, is when I get phone calls. Especially when they come bright and earlier in the morning and you haven’t tried to use your voice for the past 8 hours.

But anyway, I am currently trying to learn Spanish right now. I’m using a couple different programs; sadly one of them requires a microphone to compare your words to a native speaker, which I do not have. Right now I am learning numbers, colors, some basic words, and my ABC’s. It takes me way back to my younger days when I start singing the ABC song, only in Spanish of course. So, if anyone knows of any good programs, let me know!

Take care everyone!

My mom made me drink this tea when I had my cold. it helps soothe your runny noses, headaches, sore throat, ect.

I'll send you the recipe in a bit.

Grate a piece of ginger root.
Add 4 cups of water and bring to boil.
Remove from heat.
Strain sweeten with honey.
To fight a common cold add a lemon to water.
To me it tastes like warm lemonade. You can find the recipe and what ginger does on front porch.
