The older I get (not that I think I’m old or anything) the more I value the cotton glove. Now, it could be any old cotton glove, but I much prefer the cotton gloves used in the oilfield. Maybe this is me growing up around these gloves, and maybe it is me being too lazy to try (and like) a different kind of cotton glove. But, maybe it is just me being cheap! You see, I get standard oilfield cotton gloves for FREE! (That\u2019s what happens when my Husband, Dad, and two brothers work in the oilfield! LOL) Don\u2019t get me wrong, I never used to like those gloves. They are too big for my hands, they don\u2019t keep water out, etc. However, the last few years I began using them whenever I didn\u2019t want to ruin a pair of gloves or just didn\u2019t have anything else on hand.
I have kept a pair of these gloves in the trunk of my car since I turned 16 (for changing tires on the side of the road or whatever). This winter I discovered these gloves are PERFECT for keeping my hands warm while cleaning the snow off my car in the morning. They are also perfect for cleaning up weeds (with stickers) at my In-Laws place, keeping my hands from getting splinters while working with any kind of wood, moving dirt, keeping my hands from getting blisters while using shovels\/rakes\/hoes, and last but not least building valves.
In conclusion, cotton gloves are AMAZING. They are useful for SO MANY different things, and everyone should own a pair! Ok, everyone should own more than one pair! It should be a staple in everyone\u2019s home. I keep some on the shelf in the coat closet and you should too!<\/p>\n
SIDE NOTE: A little over-the-top with the gloves? Yes, but I really do love them!
Also, I will be posting a review of the hotel we stayed in over Memorial Day Weekend as well as stories from the last few weeks over the next few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
