Yesterday evening I learned that Desitin is not just for diaper rash.

If you're around my age you remember the Tupperware steamer in Harvest Gold that separates in 3 pieces. (has probably been recalled)

I love using it to steam my fresh vegetables in the microwave and never have I had an accident with the boiling water, but last night when I pulled it out of the microwave I tried to avoid falling over two of the dogs waiting behind me in hopes of a green bean dropping. I lost my balance and tilted the steamer just enough to have the boiling water land on my right hand.

I have never had a burn before - immediately I put my hand under cold water but the pain wasn't stopping so I went online and went with the suggestion of coating the burn with Desitin Cream. It worked!

This morning my hand is swollen but I have no blistering and just a little pain on a couple of fingers.

Thank God for google and the ex waitress that guaranteed Desitin would work.

    I have that steamer in a terra cotta color, but have forgotten about it. It must be stashed in the back of a cabinet somewhere...I must look for it. Hope your hand is feeling better!

    I am enjoying your blog...I find it very inspirational!

      Thank you for reading my blog - happy you're enjoying it.
      As for my hand, it healed quickly with little scaring... the Desitin worked!

      If you decide to use your steamer again be careful. I'm still using mine, but I did go on the Tupperware website to check out the new and improved ( safer) ones.

I shared with you how I had my son leave my home because he's not in a good place right now.  Yesterday he was sitting outside my home when I pulled up.  I asked him why he was here - Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful he's okay but I can't be an enabler.                                                                               He had a couple of reasons why he popped in, but I know the real one is that he thought no one would be home and he was hoping he could get in to eat, crash, and find something to sell at a pawn shop. As horrible as that sounds it's the reality of how a drug addict operates.                                                     ...

Have An Open Heart

As I was sorting through pictures this morning I came across pictures of my seven-year-old granddaughter with girls that she met for the first time on a 2 day stay in Prescott. I was drawn to the smiles on their faces and the love in their eyes. They met, accepted each other, and acted as if they had been lifelong friends. Oh, how I had forgotten about the innocence of a child. The color of skin, the size of a body, the structure of a face does not matter. They are ready to accept and love unconditionally until we and society teach them differently. There was nothing but smiles and laughter as they danced, made beaded jewelry, and ate. They made sure that they all were a part of whatever they were participating in. They cared about each other's feelings and made sure that everyone was having fun and was happy. Why is it that we grow to become so obsessed with appearance and behavior of others that we miss seeing the light or the struggles in others?  We're so q...

Does Color Matter

I know I said today was going to be my day off, but I just came home from visiting a friend that was telling me about her friend's daughter that is Asian, in first grade and attending a new school. Apparently, she is being ostracized by her peers because of her ethnicity. Isn't the age of a first grader 5 or 6? This just proves my theory that racism will never end. In fact, I think it's getting worse. I base my theory on me being an interracial child (Black, Mexican, Indian & White) that was in first grade in 1965 at a predominately white school; meaning no Blacks. This was my life through school until the last two years of high school when a couple of Black students came. If there were any signs of racism I didn't see it or hear it... don't you think I should have considering the era?  So maybe that's it... we've become a society that thinks it's okay to freely express our opinion of another human being without any regards to the effect it may hav...
