Barnegat Bridge and Bay

The song goes like this: "My Eyes Adored You" My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away From me you couldn't see How I adored you So close, so close And yet so far away Carried your books from school Playing make-believe you're married to me You were fifth grade, I was sixth When we came to be Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay Till we grew into the me and you Who went our separate ways My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away From me you couldn't see How I adored you So close, so close And yet so far Headed for city lights Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame I worked my fingers to the bone Made myself a name Funny, I seem to find that no matter how the years unwind Still I reminisce about the girl I miss And the love I left behind My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away From me you couldn't see How I adored you So close, so close And yet so far All my life I will remember How warm and tender We were way back then Though I'm feeling sad regrets I know I won't ever forget You, my childhood friend My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away From me you couldn't see How I adored you So close, so close And yet so far

Lavender

You can make the linen closet smell like spring all year long and freshen up your bed before sleep too.

This is a lovely way to make your house more of a welcoming home. I love to use scents that relax the mind and body.

Lavendar essential oil is great if you are having problems with sleep. You just rub a drop or two onto the soles of your footsies and off you go to dreamland.


1 teaspoon (100 drops) lavender essential oil

5-10 drops peppermint, spearmint or rosemary essential oil (optional)

2 oz. 80+ proof vodka

24 oz. distilled water


Pour essential oils and vodka into a bottle, cap and shake to emulsion. Mix with distilled water.


It will cloud up but it will clear after a bit so don't worry.


Shake well before each use.


Another recipe looks like this:


Essential oil (try lavender or rose for traditional scents, jasmine or plumeria blossom for exotic scents)

90 ml (approx. 3oz)non-flavoured, high proof vodka

750 ml (approx. 25 oz) distilled water


Lavendar repells moths but you can also use plumeria and other scents like jasmine or rose, violet!
