Overdue thank yous

Our camera has not been working lately and I have some major overdue thank yous. I wanted to wait to post pictures of me with the new gadgets, however, the camera is not cooperating. So here goes:

Thanks to MIL and FIL for our brand new rice cooker!! If anyone keeps track or reads this blog you would know cooking rice was a dilemma in our household. I could never get it "right" well lo and behold, the day before we left for Hawaii our new rice cooker arrived. Since then, I have used it multiple times and I truly love it! Who knew? Thanks MIL & FIL!!

Another belated thank you goes to my brother and his wife. They sent me some Yerba Mate tea to try. Well when I opened the box I was very unsure of the product. Let me explain, there was a bag of loose tea, a gourd, a silver "straw" and a t - shirt. I really had no idea what this Yerba was all about. After doing some research on the product, I found out this is a nice option if you are trying to cut out coffee in the morning routine. I also found some HILARIOUS youtube videos on how to use the product. You tube this if you have some free time but some of these are really really funny. Anyway, I have tried it (minus the gourd) many of the people said it was an "acquired" taste. But it was really good! So... THANKS!!

And again apologies for the lack of posts, and the delayed thank yous!
