Random Facts Friday June 17, 2011

Hi everyone,
Here are some facts I learned.
See if you already know them.
Would love to hear from you!

1. Pearls do not like chemicals (perfume, hair spray). So keep this in mind when wearing a necklace: LAST ON, FIRST OFF. And when you slip them off at the end of the day, delicately wipe them with a slightly moist soft cloth.

2. There is a society of rose enthusiasts, the Rosarians. They will be having a convention in New York and will be inducting 2 gardens into the Great Rosarians of the World Rose Garden Hall of Fame: The Columbus (Ohio) Park of Roses and the Quarryhill Botanical Garden in Glen Ellen, CA. The hall of fame was founded 3 years ago and already has 7 gardens representing CA, NY, and England.

3. Found out there are nurse maid mares for race horses.

4. Utah's snowpack is up 300%, 700% in some areas. Jackson Hole, Wyoming still has snow drifts.
And this still has to melt...

5. Egg salad. Most people know how to make the basic recipe. But what is your "special "ingredient"? I have tried these separately with success: bacon chips, horseradish, curry, and sliced green olives. And take a survey at your next gathering - - mayo or salad dressing. Have a taste testing bar with different egg salads, breads. An easy way to get people to mingle!

  1. Fridays are probably my favorite commentary because it gives me something to talk about to my husband when I am trying to remember how to talk like a grown-up since chasing after young ones all day. I look forward to hearing more!
