Fund raiser that's GREEN

A school science project for a nephew and Innsbrook in North Carolina comes up...it is GREEN which is so important for our children. Having a fund raiser that supports the environment is awesome...dating myself with that term but oh well. It is a blessed life including family, husband, grands etc.

Keeping the earth healthy is just as important as keeping our bodies, minds, emotions and hearts healthy.

Humans amaze me...yet again

Bottled water is a huge money maker in America yet many reports suggest it is less healthy than regular water from the tap or filtered tap water. If it is in plastic without a BPA free label chemicals leach into the water. Chemicals that are not only harmful but certainly not good for human consumption especially if the bottle is warmed by any form of heat. Yet so many people do not know the risk or ignore the risk of bottled water. Corporations selling the water are not going to share that information as long as revenue is being derived from the source. Wake up America and learn about your health and your babies health.

Cotton, an amazing fabric

Watching my hubby one night while he was working I noticed he had an old T-shirt on. A T-shirt my youngest son had given him 20 years ago. The body of the shirt is starting to pull away from the crew of the neck but I know he loves that shirt because of the soft texture. We all love comfortable clothes!

Yesterday I found out from a friend we are supposed to wash old clothes or dry rot will set in. Which means I best get busy. I have several baby night gowns my Mother made when my sibligs and I were of child bearing ages.

God has blessed us with great children, great grandchildren and a wonderful big family. Now we can celebrate the goodness of talent (Mother's) and the comfort of cotton.

Noise Pollution

Last evening between meetings I stopped for some tea and down time at a fast food place. At first I noticed the music and then came the droning of equipment. Not sure what the source was but I'm thinking air conditioning unit. The drone was constant and extremely agonizing. After about an hour I had to leave or leave later with a huge headache. The next meeting was an after hours event so the timing was not intolerable. Why with all the technology and putting computers into every thing why can we not find, buy and install quicker equipment. I was concerned about the people that work in that environment daily. Noise, it all adds up and yes, noise pollution is a very real thing.
