I don't remember when I stopped
using kitchen shower caps for leftovers
in favor of rolled plastic wrap. When did
these practical covers become a thing
of the past? How I could have forgotten
about them for more than 20 years?
A tragedy of sorts.
But there they were recently hanging in an
aisle in the market. A treasure. Their
practicality and re-usability brought me back
to Mom's kitchen where these little shower
caps were commonplace. Makes me realize
how far we've drifted as a society with our
throw away mentality:
Use it once and throw it away.
They're washable, reusable, come in different
sizes and pretty darn cute too. Seems like an
odd thing to write about on a lovely Sunday
morning but my mind is wondering where
else I've slipped in my commitment to be
KINDER to our precious Mother Earth.
It's a lovely day! xoxo Amy

Along with pink roses, kittens and God's abundance, ballerinas are certainly one of the most beautiful gifts our eyes can behold. ~ Amy Arnaz
The Nutcracker came and went but the magic lingers. Thank you girls.

Guess what Mom? Haley is learning to sew! She's taking sewing & design classes and is SO happy. Desiree is traveling America for Tigi as one of their instructors. All good news Mom. Miss you...
Wish you would have lived longer so you could see your beautiful granddaughters all grown up.

So nice to see that the babies finally have a prominent name attached to their plight. Please click the link (above) to view a page from the orphanage and at the bottom of the page is a link to a wonderful video Kristin made at the orphanage. 

Built in 1933 during the construction of Hoover Dam, the Hotel is the heartbeat of our town. It houses the Boulder Dam Museum, a variety of quaint shops and 28 guest rooms. Will Rogers, Shirley Temple and several Presidents have slept here. You'll love it too.
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
