Lavender Soap

A letter to Grandma:

This lovely bar of lavender soap you once gave me years ago, I have been keeping in my underwear drawer, because I thought it smelled so good.  It's been there for years, and finally I dug it out and stuck it in my shower, thinking lavender would be a good scent for an evening shower, so relaxing.

I'm standing in the shower, open the package and am amazed to find that it's wrapped tightly in plastic.  Tightly.  So there I am, wet and slippery, and trying to slice the plastic wrap -- with no luck.  Finally, I used my teeth - yes, on a bar of soap! ick - and after several bites finally making a hole big enough to slide a tooth of my comb and finally get this thing open!   Yessss, the smell is heavenly, but it's no Dove or Ivory bar of soap.  It left my skin feeling a little tight and dry.

Who knew getting into a bar of soap would be so difficult?
And .... just how much scent
was my drawer getting
from a bar of soap
wrapped in plastic???
