Wish list Wednesday...

   Well, it is Wednesday again. Time to send another group of wishes out into the universe to see what happens.

A practical wish....

  Weather alert radios. As we don't have Television coverage here, we don't see the weather warnings. So this would be great to have.

I would like to have 2...

One portable....




   This one has a solar cell and a hand crank for power.














One a desk model with an alarm feature...

   This one has S.A.M.E. feature that allows you to program for your local area so you don't hear those that don't concern you.










What would I like to learn.

How about how to make your own soaps.  My sister does this and her soaps are wonderful. The don't dry out your skin and smell divine.

  Why not learn a little at a time to be self reliant. If our great grandparent's were cut off from town for a while, it was no problem. They had all they needed at home. But now a days if you couldn't get to the store for a week or so most of us would be up the proverbial creek.









Oh I would like to add a luxury item to the wish list....
 


A real feather bed. I slept on one when I visited Austria and German. There is nothing as warm and comfortable as being cradled by a soft feather bed when you sleep.









Now who do I wish to have lunch with this week....

Paula Deen

    She reminds me so much of my own mother, and I really miss her. Plus Paula Deen has overcome a lot of obstacles in her life. I think she would be inspiring to talk to, add fun to cook with.

We have a weather alert radio - when you live in tornado and hurricane country, it's a necessity.

You know I lost a limb the other day due to the storm - the thing is, even if I'm alerted there's nothing much I could do about it.

Alex I know I use to have one, but it got lost in a move. I really do need to replace it.
Hi Grandpa, The only thing I would be able to control is making sure the dogs are able to get in out of the rain, and picking up anything that would be blown around by a high wind. Other wise I would just hunker down and wait it out.
