Hate to admit it....but I am a "closet smoker" and wine drinker. I'm heading to Albertson's in the morning to stock up for the coming week. If something heavy is coming down, I want to be ready. Will also make a side trip to "Sam's" for canned vegies, fruit, flour, cornmeal, canned milk, etc. Just like I did for Y2K. (we finally got rid of all the Spam!) We live high in the Black Hills, have our own well, generator, lots of wild life (and guns to accommodate them) Also a CB radio. Hope we're ready for whatever may happen, even if it doesn't happen. We can never be too prepared. Thanks to NW Arizona Granny, I even bought some Lavendar Essential Oil...not quite sure what to do with it yet. But, just smelling it makes me feel really good.

I've got to get some of that oil. Thanks for reminding me. Think I'll make a run or two tomorrow.

Someone needs to find us a scanner link to Houston for the weekend.

Lavender Essential Oil.

a drop on temples and back of neck for headaches.

smell it for stress and rapid heart beat.

on nightclothes near nose, will help you sleep and also help with breathing problems.

on cuts, burns and insect bites.

helps stop snoring, Scott rubs it on the sole of his feet.

can be mixed with any good cooking oil, olive and almond is good, 3 to 5 drops to a tablespoon for oil, for massage or hand lotion. I love Jojoba oil.

I have to watch it, as I use it daily and it will burn if overused. but then I am allergic to the doctors medicine and drugstore meds, will fight to keep my lavender.

Try 3 to 7 drops in a warm bath.

Don't forget that if you have it on your hand or wrist, it will calm babies and animals.

If you do a search on the Internet, you will find it is used in almost every cure they think of.

Enjoy and be safe,

Ruth
