Drinking Water

Have you ever thought about your drinking water? Well, if not take a look at these pictures. These are the filters for our reverse osmosis water filtration system. Can you tell which ones are the new filters?

Filter 1


Filter 2


Filter 3

Our system is a five step filter system. As you can see filter 1 and 2 our just plain gross. The filters are somewhere between a year and a half and two years.

All that brown stuff is what's pulled out of our water on a daily basis. Think about that the next time you turn on your faucet for a little tap water.

My friend gnightgirl is putting a call out to everyone she knows and everyone they know to help her soldier son in Irag. She's not asking for much. It's an easy way to help.

Please go take a look Toys for Troops.

One of my favorite summer things

Cucumbers in Sour Cream

Thinly slice 1 large cucumber; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Then drain off the accumulated water.

Combine:

1/2 c. sour cream

1 Tbls. vinegar

1 to 2 drops of hot sauce

2 Tbls. chives, chopped

1 Tbls. grated onion or dried chopped onion

Dash of pepper

Pour over cucumbers and refrigerate 30 minutes.

The only thing wrong with this recipe is it takes too long. I want them now!
