How will I celebrate National Hot Tea Day?  I knew right away the best way for me to celebrate this day.  My mom loved tea.  Her favorite was mint tea.  There were many evenings my mom would bring out the tea cups and brew a delicious cup of mint tea.  I am going to brew a cup of mint tea.  Sit in front of the fire and think of my mom.  She was an amazing person, and I miss her.

Happy National Hot Tea Day!
