Hi again,
Well, I've survived my third day of swimming class, and learned a really
valuable lifesaving tip last night. We used some dumbbell shaped floats
to help hold us up in the water for one part of the class, and then Mary
brought out several empty milk jugs. Surprisingly enough, she told us
that an empty milk jug with the lid on will hold enough air to save your
life in an emergency. If there's ever an emergency situation where
someone is drowning and there's a milk jug handy, throw it to them. It
will float, will help them float until help can arrive and is easy to
hold onto. It's very common to have jugs around that you use for water
or tea, or that milk came in, but I had never thought they could save a
life before. I thought that was worth passing along. Maybe it will
save a life someday.
Speaking of saving a life, I've got to take my daughter to 4H Safety Day
Camp today. They are supposed to learn about water safety, first aid
and ATV safety. Since we've gotten tires for the 4 wheeler now, I told
her she really needs to learn how to be safe on the thing. It'll make
me feel better anyway.
Our menu for today includes:
Smothered steak
Baked pork chops
Beef stroganoff
Broccoli with cheese
Blackeye peas
Zucchini and tomatoes
Pasta bar
Rolls
And for dessert have some Pumpkin Pie or Pecan Pie.
See you at lunch,
Rhoda :-)
