The Road Not Taken



      As I sat at home today and received unexpected and wonderful news, I began reflecting over some of my choices that have led me to where I am now. Many times I have come to crossroads.  Some roads have led to pain and learning. Some have led to happiness and learning. The fact is, when at the crossroads, all roads were "less traveled",  because the outcome was unknown to ME.  Each path was chosen by me and each path has formed who I am. 


Please enjoy one of my favorite poems and I would love to hear about some of your "roads". 


The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The Buffer Bit Review/Giveaway

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this product, free of charge, from Buffer Bit for review purposes on this blog. No other compensation, monetary or in kind,
 has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about them. The opinion is mine, as with any product, your opinion may vary.




This is one of the coolest inventions. I contacted Buffer Bit because I had seen their product in an email for a handyman website that I love. You know I'm always on the lookout for more home improvement projects for Hubby and I to do. When I read more about Buffer Bit, I couldn't wait to tell my Hubby about it. I knew this was something he would love. 

Buffer Bit is a great product for getting the best shine out of your shoes, cars, motorcycles etc. There are so many different uses for Buffer Bit. It even brought a shine back to my bathroom fixtures. 

It is an easy to use product that attaches to any cordless drill. There are three buffer pads included. 
Here are several pictures for you to see before and after Buffer Bit.

These are Hubby's icky looking work boots before Buffer Bit. I know...they look disgusting. Long days in the heat and dirt have taken their toll. 


Hubby used a little bit of his favorite shoe polish, waited a few minutes, and then began. He attached Buffer Bit to his cordless drill. It took about 3-5 minutes and he was done.





Can you see how different they look now? This is just unbelievable! 


We are really excited to try out Buffer Bit on our cars and our boat. Piglet Scooter could even use a good shine with Buffer Bit.

Happy 4th of July




*Happy 4th of July!!!*



'In 1775, people in New England began fighting the British for their independence. On July 2, 1776, the Congress secretly voted for independence from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was first published two days later on July 4, 1776. The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence was on July 8, 1776. Delegates began to sign the Declaration of Independence on August 2, 1776.
The first description of how Independence Day would be celebrated was in a letter from John Adams to his wife Abigail on July 3, 1776. He described "pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations" throughout the United States. However, the term "Independence Day" was not used until 1791.
Interestingly, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, both signers of the Declaration of Independence and presidents of the United States, died on July 4, 1826 - exactly 50 years after the adoption of the declaration.'

Demeter Fragrance Library Review

Demeter Fragrance Library

Review

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this product, free of charge, from Demeter Fragrance Library for review purposes on this blog. No other compensation, monetary or in kind,
 has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about them. The opinion is mine, as with any product, your opinion may vary.



I received three different fragrances from Demeter Fragrance Library to try. I was intrigued  by this company. They have the largest variety of scents that I have ever seen. I often laughed how they had one called Play-Doh. I had read the on site reviews for some of the other strange scents and how everyone was amazed at how they are spot on, even for the Dirt scent. Yes, you read that right, Dirt. 
Here are the three that I was sent to try:



Honeysuckle

This reminds me of summers with my grandmother. She loved honeysuckle. My mom showed us how to get the nectar out of the flower. The scent is just right. I wished it lasted longer when used alone. However, when paired with the Vanilla Cookie Dough, it lasted for hours.  



Vanilla Cookie Dough

Now this one had staying power. It was hard to pinpoint exactly what scents made this one my favorite. There was just a small hint of Almond or maybe it reminded me of Macaroons. Either way, this was my favorite. I paired it with the Honeysuckle and it was a sweet vanilla citrus scent. Definitely my 'go to' summer scent. 





Butterscotch

This smelled exactly like Butterscotch candies. When I put it on, it had a hint of caramel or maybe pancake syrup. It lasted a long time. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I'm not sure why, but it reminded me of Fall. 




There are so many unique scents. Here are just a  few:

Laundromat* Baby Powder* Paperback* Salt Air* Bubble Gum* Condensed Milk*
Fireplace* Fresh Hay* Mint Julep* Olive Flower* Suntan Lotion
