Movin' On - Where's the Kleenex?

Quick thought.
Last week we had a "Wow" moment.
Where's the Kleenex? For years we've reached for the Kleenex as soon as we started our breakfast. Runny noses.
And driving. The first thing Merv would reach for was a Kleenex. Runny nose.
And other occasions - too many of them - runny noses.
Last week at breakfast, he said "It has just dawned on me that we don't use Kleenex any more!"
Our eyes got wide. We both talked at once. "It's right! We don't have runny noses anymore!"
How did we miss this? We just hadn't clicked into it. So.
Two possibilities. Dry air in Alberta. Or allergic elements in our wooden house on the farm. Perhaps both.
We've had 2 grandsons who have both had allergic reactions to the farm house as years have gone by. I think that's a good indication of the second possibility. But also we are in a much more humid environment here, so that should be considered.
Whatever. We use a lot less Kleenex than we used to.
Anyone got opinions?

  1. I definitely think it is the dry prairie air. The cedar home also added to the dryness because the wood absorbed whatever moisture there was in that dry prairie air. You might find your hair, skin, fingernails, etc. will take on new characteristics here, too. Why, we even have de-humidifiers out on the coast! Imagine that!
