Don’t Look a Soapy Gift Horse in the Mouth
Apparently, I am now old enough that people can give me hand soap as a gift. Not bubble bath, mind you, not shower gel with corresponding body buff, but full on hand soap.
I remember when we used to give my Grandpa cloth handkerchiefs for Christmas. Not bandanas, but thin white handkerchiefs, sometimes with the initial M on them for Marshall. Hankies and a box of Almond Roca and Grandpa’s dreams had come true. Or so it seemed.
But now that I’ve received hand soap as a gift, I wonder if Grandpa got that first batch of re-usable Kleenexes and he said to himself, “Judas Priest, I must be old. I do believe I just got a snot rag for cotton pickin’ Christmas.”
This is how we used to cuss when I was a little girl.
Oh god. Please pass the Almond Roca.

I think that particular bottle is for removing wine stains from your hands. Almond Rica is good though
I like this theory.
I’m guessing it was just the merlot label 😉

I have cleaned myself with Chardonnay before, but never with merlot, sir.
But it IS “Black Cherry Merlot”….
Perhaps you’ll get really lucky and some one will gift up one of these Fingerprint Resistant dispensers: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01DNDZFZA
You’ve been quiet this summer (bummer). Perhaps now that you’ll soon be in charge of an *entire* forest you’ll have more stories to share? All those cute little woodland creatures must be looking forward to your new role this fall …

ps: IMO, wine is for drinking (like beer), not for washing up.
