GREAT LINEN CLOSET TIP FOR LAUNDRY DAY

I saw this tip in a magazine today and felt this is a great tip that needed to be shared on our little blog here. When you are putting away your sheet sets fold each set and put inside one of the set's pillowcases. That way it can be put away as a unit. I love it!!! Short and sweet.

Today I went with Bill to his neurologist's for a checkup. His blood pressure was higher than usual so we have to watch it. Other than that, everything else is the same. Bill is a smoker and definitely needs to quit smoking. However, he has been smoking for years and the addiction is so hard to break. A couple of months ago he went the patch route and tried to quit. To no avail. The doctor said it is because he has not really made up his mind with a commitment to quit. He gave him a prescription for Chantix today and maybe that can help him to quit when he is ready. Which I hope is soon. I don't nag him about it because it won't help any. The three of us in this house definitely need to lose weight and that is one thing that I have started working on. In fact, the doctor said that Bill had lost 3 lbs. since he left the hospital. Hopefully, we will continue losing.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
