Bottled Up and Bottled Out – Flowers
make people happy, and recycling makes me happy. I found someone who mirrors my
sentiments. I got into the habit saving empty jars that once held everything
from yogurt to pasta sauce. They’re handy to snip garden blooms and brighten
someone’s day. Neighbors, friends, bank tellers, dry cleaner clerks and estate
sale organizers have received these bouquets. Since they often include shrimp
plants stems that can be replanted, they are conversation starters as well.
Some jars are lovely on their own and others get a decorative band to go over a
label that just won’t be removed. So, recently I received a bouquet from
someone who does the exact same thing. My gift in a long-necked syrup bottle
showed off yellow blooms of a mustard plant. What a perfect gardener-to-foodie
presentation. Culinary Thrill Seekers, share some of your stories like that

Flippin’ – Just in time for January’s
self-improvement motivations, Rob Cross of Sugar Land offers “Flip Your
Thinking: Ignite Your World.” I must read this over time, as there are useful
quips on every page. Your house would be covered in sticky notes if you jotted
them all down. His topics can boost your harmony in career, marriage,
relationships and life purpose. Here’s a taste from the beginning pages:
·
Life happens for you, not to you.
·
Life’s not out to getcha. It’s out to enricha!
·
Go within or you’ll go without.
Mr. Cross, I’m flipping over your book.
