Just heard from this young lady near me who refines her own salt here in SE North Carolina. Look her up,....I am!
Hey! Thank you for the mention. This was all conceived last March when my son asked about desalination. We went a little over board with the science experiment. š We’re still bundling up some loose ends but hope to be out at some farmers markets come Springtime.
Southeastern N C was once a major producer of SALT! There were many āsalt worksā up and down our coast. Indian too thousands of years ago refined salt for food preservation! Here is a video on salt production in Iceland today and except for the energy source it is very similar to our historical method of salt productions. Listen to the history and culture of the Salt Trade! Fascinating! If interested Mark Kurlansky wrote a great book titled āSaltā on its history, uses, and information about Salt. Great read!
I’m trying to bring that back! I make sea salt in my back yard. āŗļø
Saunter.......who knew........but I love it! We should all āSaunterā more in our daily lives.....āNot all who wander are lost!āHiking - "I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not hike! Do you know the origin of that word 'saunter?' It's a beautiful word. Away back in the Middle Ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, 'A la sainte terre,' 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them."

Happiness is something you decide over time. Whether or not I like my house doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged, it depends on how I arrange my mind.
In life Iāve already decided that I like it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have the choice; I can spend the day in bed, going through the difficulty I have with my body parts that don't work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the parts that do work.
Every day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I will focus on the new day and the happy memories I've stored just for this time in my life. Might even make some new ones if I am lucky.
HAPPINESS is like a bank account: you withdraw from it, what you deposit.
So my advice would be to deposit a lot of happiness into your memory account.
Remember these five simple things:
1.- Free your heart from hate/discord.
2.- Free your mind from worries.
3.- Live Simply.
4.- Give more.
5.- Take less.

Great time with great folks....I had a blast with them!....more to come soon!

At 17-feet-long and 3,541 pounds, the great white shark Nukumi is a big fish, and she has steadily been making her way south from the Maine and Nova Scotia waters since October. Now, after spending some time near Cape Lookout, shes been spotted twice off the coast of the Cape Fear region.Just to our north, a most unusual occurrence! Cute, huh?
