Tea Fans and Ear Horns

Hello Tea Fans. I'm going to be needing a lot of you as the weather warms
up. We have the ceiling fans going, and they work really well, but without
you it just won't be summer. I've been digging out the old hand fans to.
Remember going to church when you were a little snip and fanning yourself
with those paper fans from the funeral home down the street? How about that
for hitting the ball with both ends of the stick. The preacher is telling
you you're never going to die and the mortician is saying 'but if you do!!!'
I know, I know, your physical body will die, but who wants to think about it
when you're so hot you need a piece of cardboard to cool you off? I am still
holding off getting air conditioning for the tea room. My husband thinks I'm
crazy. I just don't want to close the windows and not hear the birds, smell
the plants and herbs, feel the breeze. I guess when you are as deaf as I am
every sound is precious. I now have a 98% hearing loss in my left ear. My
friend 's husband is a coppersmith and is making me an ear horn. How cool is
that??? I don't want a hearing aid. Some things I just want to miss. When I
want to hear I will have my nifty ear horn hanging about my neck. You know
you'll want one to when you see it. I wonder if he can put a whistle in it
so I can get people's attention, like when I'm getting groceries and can't reach something. Those coupon shoppers need to wake up! Maybe an air horn!
Course, who wants to put a horn in their mouth after jamming it in their
ear? Hmmmm!
