Thought to Ponder:
"I wish people could achieve what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that that's not really what happiness is."
Cucumbers in Sweet Dressing
-3/4 cup cider vinegar
-1/4 cup red wine vinegar
-1/3-1/2 cup granulated sugar (to taste)
-1/2 tsp. salt
-1/2 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
-4 to 6 pickling cucumbers
Be sure to use a good quality vinegar for best results. If the cucumbers are small and have thin skins or were just picked, the skins may be left on. Otherwise, peel, slice and measure about 4 cups. Combine remaining ingredients in a blender or whisk until no sugar grains remain. In a stainless steel bowl, add the cucumber slices, coating well. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight. These can be stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For an extra burst of fresh flavor, add a sprig of fresh mint to the jar.

PREPARE FOR THE HEAT!
Without energy-efficient window treatments, as much as 50% of a home's heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows. Rooms can become overly hot and uncomfortable while driving up air conditioning costs in the summer. Windows of Opportunity sales name brand products that are designed to reduce the amount of solar heat that passes through the window, which is known as the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The lower the SHGC, the more protected your home is from the sun's heat. Find a window treatment today that can minimize the sun's heat or "solar heat" during the hot Texas summers, but also allows you to enjoy the sun when desired by simply opening the window covering.
