It is the best statement I’ve ever read about what divorce is.
When there’s a divorce, there’s still the horrific pain of loss, coupled with grief and mourning, but there’s also rejection, humiliation, and a severance of family ties. Each and every happy memory of the past is tainted and poisoned by the angry ex-spouse’s ugly words, coupled with your own self-doubt and self-recrimination. Divorce has all the sadness and loss that comes with the death of a partner, but with an extra heaping helping of rejection. When there’s a divorce in the family, there’s a conspicuous absence of supportive souls coming by to sit on your couch and hold your hand and wipe your tears. There are no thoughtful neighbors dropping by with their warm casseroles.

We love this stuff! And it’s sooooo easy to make.
Take 3 lemons and juice them, pulp and all. Zest one of them so that you have a couple spoons of zest, finely grated. And pop it all in a little saucepan with 3/4 a cup of white sugar. Heat it to a boil, then turn off the heat and stir for about 5 minutes, so that you make a slightly thick sugar syrup. Add 3 cups of cold water, stir and put into the freezer in a shallow pan or food storage thingy. After about an hour or two, take a fork and stir up the slightly frozen ice and make slush out of it. You may have to put it back in the freezer for a while if your pan is not real shallow. You can simply pour the mixture into ice cube trays too, for a WONDERFUL drop in to your sweet ice tea! Or lemonade!
And here’s the best part. You can use any kind of juice or fruit or even jam! If you don’t use lemons, you can change out the lemons for a cup of any kind of fresh smooshed fruit. Just make sure you add some water to the cooking syrup. It’s easy to adjust the recipe!
Nothing is better on a super hot day then some lemon slushy ice!!!
