Yes, an odd title but ESN's theme
this week is "Splish Splash I was Taking a Bath", (a song made famous
by Bobby Darin back in 1958, but sung by others as well through the
years). I got to thinking of all the places I'd bathed in, like rivers
and creeks high in the Rocky Mountains, plush and not so plush hotels
all around Europe. This was our shower in Rouffange (pop. roughly 93), France during my
fountain rebuilding days (talk about hard work!) Twelve of us shared this, talk about French ingenuity though, it worked great!
Then there's the "hammams" in Morocco. Public bath houses where women went on certain days and men went on certain days. This was quite the experience and me, being a sort of novelty, one of the ladies treated me to a scrub, that I can only describe as more painful than childbirth, well, almost. But I sure had smooth skin! You can imagine in bathing conditions such as these there are no vanities with toiletries we have come to count on here. Le Petit Marche has this lovely Four Piece Ceramic Bathroom Vanity Set for offer that will fit in a wide array of bathroom decors, so stop on by and have a look. Splish, splash!An on-line store featuring many different items, some used, some new, some collectible. Weird, fashionable, usable or just pretty or pretty ugly. But never dull! I'll add a little history or background or just a little whimsy to the items I display here. I'll also write about, on occasion, the meanderings of how I'm viewing life, and some fun foods and recipes I find along the way; because life is about the journey not the destination.
