A cold drink on a hot day

This is so easy, nutritious and cheap, you'll wonder why you never fixed it before.
    Use a 15 oz glass
    fill about 1/3 with ice cubes
    then about 1/2 with orange juice from the carton (I like lots of pulp and calcium)
    then fill the rest with water
    sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of Splenda
    Stir and drink
I don't care for carbonation, and don't particularly like "juice drinks" but this is really refreshing.

Our weather yesterday was in the 90s, and huge storms rolled through in the evening. We hustled out of our Friday night date* at Rusty Bucket last night with an eye on the sky, and big drops began to fall. By the time we were in the car, it was a downpour, with massive lightening. We've had nothing like Iowa and Illinois and Wisconsin, but some areas of Columbus were under water. My husband called from Lakeside (where he's mowing the lawn) and said it is gorgeous up there.

*We've been married 48 years and rarely miss our date night.

Water is too expensive, can I use gin? :)

Norma, I have to tell my husband about your "date nights."
Sounds like a fantastic idea. He's always working downstairs, writing & putting out his paper. If we instituted that, maybe we'd talkto each other more!
