I WAS THINKING…

QUOTES FOR THE NEW YEAR
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.” —Hal Borland
“New year—a new chapter, new verse, or just the same old story? Ultimately, we write it. The choice is ours.” —Alex Morritt
“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” —Eleanor Roosevelt
“Last year told you what you needed to know. This year is go time!” ―Richie Norton
LAUNDRY TIPS
(Taken from Heloise Household Guide)
If bleach is necessary, add it after the load has washed for about five minutes.
Spot-treat and scrub dirty parts of clothing before washing; such as bottom of socks, collars, sleeves, bottom of pants, etc.
Do not overuse fabric softener on towels. This will cause them to be less absorbent.
If clothes come out wrinkled from the dryer, it may be that you have overloaded the dryer and the clothes can’t tumble freely. Throw in a wet washcloth or towel and let the clothes spin awhile longer. They will come out wrinkle free.
In the spring, put the lint from the dryer outside. Birds will pick it up for a soft nest.
To save time, fold socks together when you take them out of the dryer.
A QUICK HINT
Do you have an open bottle of club soda that’s gone flat? Don’t throw it out. A house plant will benefit from all the minerals in it.
THIS I’VE LEARNED
Most of us make new year resolutions with good intentions. Perhaps if we decide on just one thing that’s not too demanding and really make an effort to make it happen, we’ll be successful. Think about it!
