An old glass pitcher

Just finished cleaning the kitchen after making dinner.... What did I make you ask? Well..... Baked italian chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, sliced cucumbers with ranch dressing and sweet tea...... sounds pretty good ehh????  The tea is the kicker.....

My usual tea pitcher wasn't clean so I reached up into the cabinet and found my grandma's old tea pitcher.... Memaw Ginia for anyone that is curious..... and I decided to use it tonight. The funny thing is that when I make tea in my pitcher it doesn't seem special or out of the ordinary..... but when I make it in her's it always turns out perfect.

 Maybe it's because I put some saran wrap across the top and let it steam for a while like she always did......(with my pitcher I just use the lid)...... or maybe it's because it's glass and my pitcher is just a plastic one..... or maybe, just maybe..... it's because when I make tea in that pitcher I make it with a little more love because it reminds me of her. I'm thinking it's the love. :)
