Happy Birthday to you♥
Today is also National Brown Bag It Day which recognizes the benefits of packing your lunch for work or school.
Taking your lunch is an effective way to save money and to ensure your family are eating healthy. Money savings for every meal you make at home, you can save several dollars each day.
Paper bags are 100 percent biodegradable, reusuable and recyclable. When we reuse containers and recycle, we have more control over what is wasted.
Flat bottom paper bags are the most common type of paper bag.
To celebrate, pack your lunch in a brown paper bag and pick you favorite foods and enjoy a homemade lunch. You could even make a puppet from a paper bag.
School teacher Francis Wolle invented the first machine to produce paper bags. Following the invention , they would open the Union Paper bag Company.
Papermaker James Baldwin James Baldwin, Birmingham and Kings Norton, England was granted a patent to make square bottom paper bags. His apparatus would contain on an image of a bag with a flat bottom with his business in view.
Unfortunately with the introduction of plastic bags, paper bags would begin to fade. However some places continue to offer them.
If you cannot see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The brown paper bag is the only thing civilized man has produced that does not seem out of place in nature.

This birthday is one I get to celebrate in person. He doesn’t live far away. I will be going to his party on Sunday! I’m so happy to have this grandson close by and I get to see him regularly. He’s a good son, a good student and he takes care of my yard work.
I do remember the days when paper bags were the only thing offered and then I would go to the store and they would say, paper or plastic? Now most stores only give you plastic bags. Rarely do I see paper offered. I have shopped at Aldi’s and they offer both. I usually get the paper ones. They come in handy. We used to have cover our books in school with a paper bag cover to protect them and I use them for craft projects with the grandchildren.
I usually make my own meals every day as they are healthier for me than eating out. However, once in awhile I do enjoy lunch out with friends. It’s nice to have someone else prepare the food and do the dishes for you.
We do have to use brown paper bags to put out the branches and twigs we find under the tree out side. We set them on the curb and they pick them up separately from the regular garbage.
I hope you all have a GREAT day! Happy Thursday!
COUNTING MY BLESSINGS
Paper bags are eco friendly and only lead to positive aspects for the environment. Easily disposable!
