I love the slight scratchy feel of handwriting with fountain pens, the softness on my nose of an old cotton hankie washed a thousand times, the satisfaction of grinding spices with a mortar and pestle...I'm sure I could go on...

Help me.. Coronavirus is in my mind. I can't get it out. When you wrote you were out of soap I expected you to hunt for soaps in stores and find them out of stock due to coronavirus

Shhhh...or we might have an influx of travelers to Waukesha WI....Bath & Body Works on Sunset Dr. was fully stocked--not an empty spot on the shelves.

Did you know there are other names you can use instead of Alexa? I just read something about it yesterday.

Powder room. Yes, to use only for powering ladies noses LOL

Yes, We have Alexa. I'm still learning how to use it for more things. My wife has an iPhone but I think Alexa answers questions a lot better. I'll go back and check the link.

I have gone back to bar soap in the shower even though my wife uses the soft stuff. It happens to be one I like the smell of and reminds me when I was a kid I guess.

We use bar soap in the shower, too! Do you use Alexa or Siri? Did you read my linked story? The Alexa we have got unplugged and tucked away somewhere. I don't even know where it is!
