I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Papaya-Mango-Lemonade

Yummy and refreshing drink on a warm sunny day, or a wonderful breakfast drink.  Easy to make and so much tastier than store bought.  I put it through a mesh sieve because my family doesn't care for the pulp.   If you like pulp, skip that step.
