Fright

I must say, I'm confused and a little chagrinned by all the changes to blogger. For a few horrible minutes, I couldn't get to my blogs at all. I could look them up on The Net, but that's all. Maybe this will get easier to use. Last Thurs., I heard an interesting presentation about carcinogens and harmful additives to cosmetics. The worst offenders were the foundations that claimed to fade age spots. I will post what the names of some of these chemicals are, with sources, soon. I also started a Pinterest account this week, and had a wonderful time creating boards. I picked up followers before I knew it. I am learning more and more everyday about social media and its uses. I always think; how can I use this to teach? We continue to work on our sustainability of water project, and just listening to the radio and NPR about sustainability of all other resources. I picked up a Mitch Albom book today; with a sick kitty, sick husband, and really miserable stomach myself, it hasn't been a great Mothers Day Weekend, so I yard saled. Haven't done it for a while, but notice more and more people are buying to recycle. There were a lot of things available today. Our local K-Mart had a terrific variety of flowers and shrubs. I saw hibiscus trees and lots of good geranimums. Prices were competitive. Anyone with a K-Mart may want to look. What I wonder is, why doesn't Target sell flowers when so many big box stores and groceries do. Last year this time, we lost our Opie, and now our Emma Kitty is ill. She looks exhausted; the fierce Gaga Bathory is gone. Twelve years ago, my little Smokey dog passed away on Mother's Day at age 14. He and Opie were born about te same time, but Opie lived to be nearly 24. Cats can do that, my poor little dog couldn't. My mom took, it hard, and now I'm spending my 4th mother's day without her, which is unbearable. Think of your mom tomorrow, and of all the women you love in your lives. Take care.
