Newly Wetted Wipes

So this is WAY cool. 

Do you have a bag of wipes that has dried out?  Don't throw them away.  They are just dehydrated....just add water.

This is what we did today with some dried out wipes we found in a 72 hour kit:

1.Fill the bag with water. 
2. Pour out excess. 
3. Wring a just a little.
4. Close lid.
5. Wait a few hours. 

They are like new!!!!

Newly Wetted Wipes!

Just a place to think

This is my place to think. I have been so blessed over the past years as I have read the blogs of friends of mine (Candace, Nancy, Kari, etc). I thought (perhaps a bold thought) that maybe my thoughts could be beneficial to someone else. And if not, at least I'll have a record.

My dad loved Neil Diamond. I grew up listening to his music. One of my favorite songs was, "It's a Beautiful Noise." Some of the lyrics are:

What a beautiful noise comin' up from the street
Got a beautiful sound, It's got a beautiful beat

It's a beautiful noise goin' on everywhere
Like the clickety-clack of a train on a track
It's got rhythm to spare

It's a beautiful noise and it's a sound that I love
And it fits me as well as a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does

What a beautiful noise comin' up from the park
It's the song of the kids and it plays until dark

It's a beautiful noise made of joy and of strife
Like a symphony played by the passing parade
It's the music of life

What a beautiful noise
Comin' into my room
And it's beggin' for me
Just to give it a tune.

I certainly can't give the "beautiful noises" of my life a tune...but I will give them expression here on my blog...some of the joy...some of the strife...the symphony of my life.
