This I’ve Learned

I WAS THINKING…
about Thanksgiving happening this week. I love it when we all tell what we are thankful for. Boy, do I have a lot. Of course, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I think I will just enjoy the meal and eat like no one is watching.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
He’s at the age where he’s afraid to buy green bananas.
The wrinkles on your face are just laugh lines.
You’re not old, you’re vintage.
It’s not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years.
At my age, a lifetime guarantee doesn’t sound like such  good deal.
You’re not over the hill, just enjoying the view.

HINTS FROM GRANDMA PUTT’S PROBLEM SOLVER
When mailing a present in the mail, use real peanuts instead of packing peanuts. They’ll cushion the content just as well—and the recipient can eat them.
                                HAIR DRYER TO THE RESCUE
Set the dryer on hot, and unfreeze meat or vegetables. You can start cooking immediately.
Use a hair dryer to dust. Use the coolest settings to blow dust away on lampshades, artificial flowers and anything with intricate carving.  You can even blow dust from behind furniture or refrigerators.
Hair spray will help cut flowers last longer. Spray after they’ve been in the vase a day or so.
Make bandage removal painless. Use hot air to soften the adhesive and the tape will lift off.

THIS I’VE LEARNED
Most of the time we are grateful for what others do for us. But do they know it?
Perhaps this time of year should remind us to say thank-you more often. A written note, a phone call or text is great. Let’s not forget to say thank-you for a quick gesture. It always a ‘feel good’ thing for both.  Think about it.
