I prefer baths over showers and have a tub shelf that holds my lotions and potions. We've both a claw foot tub and a jetted tub but I'd just soon relax in the claw foot tub.

The thought of praise music and a bath sort of puts me off balance...can't work the old gray cells around that one. I'll read in the tub but, generally, don't listen to music much at home. At home, I need to be able to hear what's happening outside. I can tell by the animal's voices what's going on in their lives and in my pastures.

Dots, have you tried hand made soap for your dry skin? According to law, soap can *only* be fat, lye and water...anything else is detergent. Most "soaps" actually are called bath bars or some such. I can use bath wash but can't even bear to wash my hands with those bath bars...HARSH!
