A LITTLE LOOSE FRUIT; YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I GOT

My story about spilling a lot of tea on the floor at a party because the ‘’screwy deal’’ came off the big carafe prompted a similar tale from a funny relative in Arizona. She writes:

‘’Our tea urn holds five gallons, looks snazzy and we've used it for two parties so far. Have also had trouble with the spigot, not in losing the thingamajig, but because of putting fruit in the punch.

‘’We made a citrus punch and put in raspberries and orange, lemon and lime slices. The tiny pieces of the raspberries clogged the spigot and stemmed the tide.

‘’With this in mind, we warned the next party giver, who borrowed it, not to put loose fruit in the punch. Ignoring my warning, she put in cherries and other fruit and the same problem arose.

‘’Not realizing what was wrong, someone else unscrewed the thingamajig and made a puddle on the floor. Fortunately, it was a ceramic tile floor, not carpet.’’

Solution: they’re going to try to hot-glue a little faucet screen inside the jar, so tiny particles may not go inside the spigot and clog it up.

I’ll drink to that.

Prayer request: Lord, thank You for the past school year for our Eden. Her last finals are today. We pray that she does well on them. We’re thankful for her teachers, support staff, fellow students and everyone else who made this year a success, for her good and Your glory. Give rest to all teachers this summer and draw them closer to You for strength for the coming school year. (John 3:2)
