ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
October 31ST, 2009
It's SATURDAY…
HAPPY ALL HALLOWS EVE!
Tomorrow is Fall Back day, the end of daylight saving time, a day to reset clocks to standard time. Might as well do it tonight; huh?
Back one hour…
This is the last and final warning !
THINKING
It would be a grand ‘beach’ day, but instead I’m working away trying to sort things out here at home. I have cleaning and laundry and lots of trips up and down the stairs to make.
NEW IN THE KITCHEN
Some tips today:
COFFEE FILTERS
Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing.
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.
4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust. 6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.
9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.
11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.
12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them. Soaks out all the grease.
14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great razor nick fixers.
OH YEAH THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS
ATTIRE FOR TODAY
It’s supposed to start out cloudy and much cooler here. It was above 70 degrees when I got home from work yesterday! It looks like our Indian Summer weather has come to an end.
PEOPLE
DD and her hubby are visiting relatives this weekend so we’ll be praying for safe travels for them.
PLACES
In case you haven’t had your fill of leaves, I thought this picture would show you what the trees will soon look like. This was taken in December a few years ago when DS#2 and his children were here.
PRAYERS
Jesus, to the humble You show kindness. May I bow humbly before You every day of my life
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
AROUND HOME
It looks like a great evening for some popcorn and a movie but my favorite channel is showing Halloween movies tonight. I’m not so sure if I’m up to that or not.
TO DO
At the end of every month I try and change my furnace filter. When I had pets at home it really needed it by then. I still do it anyway. They say it helps keep your furnace efficient.
FAMILY ALBUM
This is DD and I at their campground a few years ago before I started camping again.
COUNTING THE DAYS
51 DAYS UNTIL WINTER !
55 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS
AND
167 DAYS UNTIL CAMPING SEASON BEGINS
Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.
Love,
ma
