Did you know?
It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.
It will repel mice...spread them around foundation areas, or in trailers or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
It will take odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.
Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. (You are probably wondering why mention mosquitoes in November? Some of my readers live in warm climates.)
Eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer) screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet to keep dust from settling.
Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
Eliminate odors in waste basket.
This is my favorite: Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food.
There are a few more uses. You can contact me and I will be happy to send you a completed list.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
May you all be blessed with Family and wonderful friends like mine. I am so grateful for everything that life has given me from my wonderful husband, my two great children and the blessing of four grandchildren. I hold them all very close to my heart.
Both of our children have decided to buy new homes at the same time. We want them to find the homes that they love. My problem is trying to find something great to buy them when they find their dream houses.
So I put on my thinking cap and came up with a couple of good ideas…Our son has a beautiful bar in his present home and I thought why not get them barstools, nice padded comfortable barstools that these old bones could sit on and have a great glass of wine! Then it occurred to me that I could get them a gift certificate to CSNstores.com where they could choose the style of barstools. Either way, it would be a win win situation.
Now comes the dilemma about our daughter when it dawned on me that I could do the same for her. CSNstores.com has over 200 plus online stores to choose from.
Problem solved!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!
Stay safe and God Bless

Left over Chicken???
In a large saute pan place pieces of chicken (I always remove the bones) roasted red peppers, stuffed green olives, artichoke hearts, small amount of olive oil and seasoning. I used McCormick Perfect Pinch Vegetable seasoning and a dash of salt. While this simmered, I microwaved a bag of Birdseye Steam Fresh Brown Rice and sauteed Broccoli Rabi with garlic and olive oil.
Place the rice in a serving dish, top with chicken mixture and surround it with Rabbi.
