Candles...... But Not Butter

The other day I walked into my room and I noticed the smell of a candle I brought with me.... It smelled great in there.... It is a walmart brand candle.... Hazelnut Creme is the scent.... I use this sent at home all the time... and since I had lived in Africa and knew about the wonderful, different odors that sometimes waft your way, I brought a couple with me.....

When I walked in the room I thought maybe I lit it and forgot, but when I looked at it I could see that the wicks had not been lit.... It was was simply melting on its own due to the heat.... Funny huh??? Never ever had that happen......

We leave the butter sitting out before dinner hoping that it will melt just a bit to make spreading it a bit easier, but the butter we use remains hard as a rock... O well that's life here!!!

Don't feel sorry for us though... we have window units in there for sleeping but cut them off during the day to save on the power bill.... which by the way is outrageous over here.... I will let you know how much when we get one..... Lots of people have asked about prices of things.... Tomorrow I will give a sample of some of our groceries and their prices....

Below is a pic of the candle.... You can actually see where it has left its solid form and turned to liquid.... Below that is a shot of my room.... Sorry the bed is NOT made... I wasn't in the mood to make it up!
