I noticed before Marcel and I left for our trip home that it seemed as though our telephone batteries were having issues holding a charge. We have two cordless phones in the house, one of which is on the charger at all times. I noticed after using each one of them that my talk time on a full charge had dropped from what was once five or six (maybe even more) hours to less than two. On the list of things to do when we return home will be either buy batteries or new phones. We’ve had the phones less than two years, and I wouldn’t think that they would be worn out already.

Trying Almond Milk
Several months ago a friend of mine told me that she’d been drinking almond milk instead of regular milk. Until that point, I’d never heard of it, but I love almonds and thought if I ran across it I’d give it a try.
I actually forgot about it until two days ago when I was walking through Wal-Mart and saw the familiar Blue Diamond symbol in the milk section. Tucked away between the dairy and soy milk was vanilla almond milk. It was a little on the pricy side, but I really wanted to try it, so I grabbed the half gallon container and put it in my shopping cart.
I’m one of those people that when I buy something new, I want to taste it at the first possible chance, so as soon as all the groceries were in the house, I opened it and poured myself a small amount in the glass. For some reason I expected it to be sweet- maybe it was the vanilla part that threw me off, but it wasn’t. I actually really enjoyed it and have been adding it to my steel-cut oats in the mornings. It has great health benefits and is much lower in calories than most milk- at 40 calories per cup, I could get used to this.
