EKU's College of Justice and Safety dedicated a memorial to the first responders who sacrificed their own lives to save others. It is small but very moving.It was a great reason to get out and take some photos.

Remembering 9.11.01

Thinking about all those who lost their lives on this day 12 years ago. No matter how many years pass the memories and emotions of that day are still so strong for me,Sam and I were in Myrtle Beach  on vacation. Billy, Jen and Alyssa drove up from Florida the night before. Sam and I were in one room of the suite watching the news having coffee when the 1st one hit.I woke them up to come watch the news. The sky was clear and this couldn't have been an accident. Then there on live TV the second plane hit the towers. I felt so sick, like someone had violated everything I knew to be true. Jen was so upset and I was trying to stay calm for her. It sure was a scarey thing to have lived threw and hope  we never go threw anything like it again. Please pray for our country, the people who lost someone on that day, and most of all remember the heroes, those who died saving others and those who lived to see another day. I'll never forget 9/11/01

Been Scrap booking

I have been trying to get a book ready to order by Wednesday and not sure I'm going to make it  but will share the ones I have done so far lol.

Sam now feeling good today

Sam's legs are hurting and swollen today so we are not going to the farm.  we watched fast and furious 6 and  a few other movies and just relaxed. His blood pressure is up :(
My tomatoes are doing so good still.   we are watching the Nascar race and going to bed soon.

Homemade Body Butter

I have been playing again. I was so tired yesterday I took a long bath with Epson salt and lavender oil and then  used my new body butter and though I never shared it.  I also got some good shots of the Hummers too.

Homemade Body Butter

 

Ingredients

• 1½ cups of coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons zest of grapefruit or orange I used a orange

 Coconut oil and honey alone have so many healthful benefits, so just imagine what combining the two will do for your skin, without all of the junkity junk so many other skin care products can have. I’ve primarily been using it to shave my legs. While there’s no lather, it’s pretty cool, because once I’m out of the shower or bath, my legs are already moisturized with no need for anything else. Very handy dandy, indeed. It can also be added by the spoonfuls to a hot bath as a bath oil/moisturizer.Be aware that since it’s an oil base it can make the shower floor or tub quite slippery, so be careful! And Since there is citrus zest  little pieces of zest that you will need to wipe off.

Day of rest

Today I wanted a day of rest. LOL
 Well I did 3 loads of laundry, payed bills,Picked  up liquor and groceries and then cooked spaghetti.  Maybe tomorrow I will rest. I do have to say having the house to myself and quiet was nice but I do miss Sam.
