A Petty Solution




Today I want to share a 

very simple and very inexpensive, 

thing that I found, 

that makes my life much easier.



  

Several years ago while 

opening a jar with a 

round grippy circle of rubber 

that I picked up at the county Fair, 

I got the thought of why not use 

a pair of grippy garden gloves.



 

So the next time I visited 

the dollar store I picked up 

this pair of pretty pink floral 

garden gloves. 

Now these gloves don't have 

as much grip as some of the nicer 

ones you buy in garden shops, 

but they do have enough.



 

Opening jars has become so much easier. 

I do have arthritis in my hands 

and sometimes jars are just 

really very hard to open. 

Plus the nice thing about gloves 

is that you're not only gripping around 

the lid when you turn it but 

you're also gripping the jar 

and keeping it from moving as well. 

Two hands with the ability to grip 

are much better than only one. 

 


These gloves are pretty and they work wonderfully.

So that's my post today. 

If you have trouble opening tight jars 

and want a pretty solution, 

pick up a pair of pretty garden gloves. 

Put them in a kitchen drawer 

and use them for nothing but opening jars.

 They will last for many many years, 

much longer than they last 

out doing garden work 😊

I do hope that you all

have a lovely week. 

God Bless You,

your blogging sister,

Connie :)
