De-icing made easy.

For all those dealing with ice and snow and need to de-ice your windshield and wipers...best trick I've learned thanks to a Pinterest blog is: Get a spray bottle of some sorts,white vinegar, salt and water. Pour vinegar into spray bottle until bout half full. Pour salt into bottle. I don't measure it out but I pour a lot into bottle and then add just a lil bit of water. (Cold water is fine and I barely add any water like a second or two count). Shake and spray mixture onto your windshield or lights and then you can use almost anything to push the ice and snow to the side. Immediately works and best tip I learned from Pinterest so far. I'm sure the original post on Pinterest will have amounts given for each item but when I did this I just did it from remembering the elements needed & created it & it worked! It was awesome, I was the last one outside out of my neighbors but the first one gone when I have used this so far. Just thought I'd share. I roughly I would suggest 2/3 vinegar then salt 1/8 or more and water maybe 1/3 ratio.

No-one loves you like a grandmother.

'I live everyday to be like you'

My Grandmother June is an incredible woman. I'm sure most would say their grandmothers' are the smartest, the strongest, most giving person ever but in my case she absolutely is. She has had one the hardest life's imaginable; not only survived but conquered it all. She lived through breast cancer, had heart attacks without even knowing it, broken bones, and other normal ups and downs for someone in their eighties .... but she also dealt with being widowed early in life and spent most of her years on Earth as a single mother to her two boys but also to her daughter who suffers from cerebral palsy. In a testament to her strength: She refused to put Linda (her daughter) in a facility which was the typical step in 1950s she didn't. And, when her second husband gave her an ultimatum of "put Linda in a 'home' or I'm leaving", she responded by saying "I'll help you pack". Grandma June then continued to raise her sons into men and be 100% sole caregiver to Linda 100% of the time. Her life's mission has been family and no question she's succeeded. Linda who is still alive @55 & has never been treated differently besides her physical limitation is one of the longest living patients of cerebral palsy, is a living example of my grandmother's strength, love & giving and maybe even some stubbornness. Since November Grandma June has managed to hold death atbay but now as she approaches heaven's gate I know her soul will be at peace and she will once again be with her long lost husband and finally get her eternity with him. Charles (my grandfather) is probably sitting at the heaven's gate playing amazing grace on his trumpet for her waiting for her hand once again. Even though earth is losing this special woman to me, in heaven she will gain her wings immediately and be able to soar over her loved ones to comfort our tears and hold us tight just like she likes too. Rest in peace my beloved grandmother and please try not to push too hard from the other side ;) I may live everyday to make my maternal grandparents proud but grandma June I also live everyday to be just like you. Love you forever.
