When it rains, it pours!<\/i> Do you know where that saying comes from? It’s an old proverb that was reworked into it’s present form by a salt company. Pouring of salt is actually a rather new way of doing things. Salt was often a little moist, and might be served on a plate. You could just take a little pinch and add it to your food.<\/p>\n
Of course, in this day and age we like the convenience of pouring salt, but at first it was a problem – if the air got too moist, your salt shaker would clog up. So the Morton salt company came up with the slogan – When it rains, it pours!<\/i>, and they started using the logo of a girl holding an umbrella. This is achieved by putting chemicals on the salt.<\/p>\n
Well, around here it’s pouring! I mentioned in my last note (written this morning) that Hannah had been sick overnight. Well, she’s been kind of struggling all day – nothing serious, but enough to mean we’ve had to watch her and do a lot of laundry (which around here is costing us a fortune. 9 loads in one day and more to do!). After a week of very little sleep (I was sick) and a lot of work, we were up half the night and looking forward to perhaps the same tonight. I also went for a long walk and run this evening. No, not just for fun – some car trouble. We were actually taking the car in on Wednesday to have it checked out, but it didn’t last that long. So I walked home, called the tow truck, jogged back to the car to meet the tow truck, and walked home. This was on the way to<\/i> my errands, so I guess they’re just going to have to wait!<\/p>\n
