Wyoming Breezes

Weighted blankets are currently popular and are being touted as improving the quality of sleep; but in my opinion this is not a new idea. I remember sleeping under several heavy wool quilts when I was growing up, and to this day, I prefer to have one or more quilts on the bed. I also sleep better when I have a folded quilt at the foot of the bed. The weight of the bedding keeps me from tossing and turning; thus, providing a better night's sleep. What are your thoughts about weighted blankets?

ring bearer and flower girls near Kinnear, WY approximately 1956 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex' wedding, an elegant and romantic affair, was the topic of conversation all weekend. Over the years, I have been in three wedding parties: as a flower girl when I was a child and as a maid of honor for two friends. My debut as a flower girl almost didn't happen: I was a shy child and remember hiding behind a chair in our front room when it was time to go to the church. The photo (I'm in the middle) shows that someone managed to persuade me to go to the Mendenhall wedding. Other than your own wedding, have you ever been in a wedding party?
