Diane...I am sure Charlene is a bit depressed.  Moving back and then losing her husband is a lot to handle.  I hope she does come out for lunch, I think it would do her a world of good and we would like to visit with her.  Clover Island Inn is selling some of their furniture for $15.00, for each piece.  Kristene wanted some things so Janene and I went down there and picked up a few things.  No beds though, just end tables, desks, and chest-of-drawers.  We then went to "Real Deals", down town Kenn.  If you haven't been there you must go, it is a lot of fun to see all the pretties.


WHICH ITEM IS LIKELY TO BE THE GERMIEST?
A,,,kitchen sponge
B...Bathtub drain
C...Remote control
D...toilet seat
Answer.  A.  Beware the kitchen, especially sponges, which soak up bacteria from food and counter tops.  The solution:  Moisten them, then pop them in the microwave for two mins.  While you're at it, give any remotes a swipe with disinfectant.  They're a magnet for germs, particularly during cold season.


It was a blustery, cold day when my son, who was 3, came in from playing outside.  As I placed a cup of cocoa in front of him, I said, "Be careful, it's a little on the hot side."  He looked up and asked, "Which side is hot, Mommy?"


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
One of the major reasons so many of us remain hurried, frightened, and competitive, and continue to live life as if it were one giant emergency, is our fear that if we were to become more peaceful and loving, we would suddenly stop achieving our goals.  You can put this fear to rest by realizing that the opposite is actually true.
