I don't even like cinnamon toast and I am about to make some. I cheer you on with all my heart.

I too, was raised on tea with milk and sweetened (now with Stevia). And toast is my fall back position in times of stress. So glad to know you now all the more... and hang in there. May the beach you've been tossed up on with your gal be long, wide and flat in the eb tide of understanding. A beautiful tale Melissa.

Your descriptions make me want to move to New Mexico. Tell me, has global climate change affected those weather rhythms? Or, do the cleansing rains still come every afternoon? While I wait for your reply, I'm off to make some tea and cinnamon toast. What lovely imagery. Your descriptions make me want to move to New Mexico.

Oh, that buttery, crusty crunch of cinnamon...that sounds good. Thanks for the reminder. RE: the fight. OK, so it came on you unawares and you didn't handle it quite like you might want to. I've never believed it's a good sign when couples don't fight. That, to me, means they are avoiding talking about tough topics. So, next time maybe it won't take you so by surprise and you'll be a little better prepared to handle it like the mature people you are :) Or, not :) It'll just be an excuse to have some more toast and tea. Not a bad trade off. Ooph, I haven’t had cinnamon toast in YEARS. Oh, that buttery, crusty crunch of cinnamon…that sounds good. Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe peace smells like cinnamon. Sometimes, even with all the comfort foods that we can buy or bake, only cinnamon toast will do. Maybe peace smells like cinnamon.
