Love

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
~Leo Buscaglia

Grandparents

Found this wedding picture of my grandparents. I wonder if she made her gown, she would make me little dresses when I stayed with her, wonder if my grandfather played his violin, he played at all the weddings. I was told the wedding lasted three days!

I Go Green

Having trouble with ants i go green has this information

Ant FROM I GO GREEN

To keep a pet’s food from attracting ants, set the food dish in a pie pan filled with soapy water.

To destroy invading ant colonies, mix three cups water with one cup sugar and four teaspoons boric acid. Loosely pack several small screwtop jars half full with cotton balls, saturated with the mixture. Pierce jar lids with two to three small holes (large enough to admit ants) and screw back onto jars. Place jars in areas where ants are active but out of the reach of children and pets.

Aphids, mealybugs, mites, scales, and thrips

Make a soap spray. Mix one tablespoon dishwashing soap, such as Ivory Liquid or Shaklee’s Basic H, in one gallon of water. Test spray a few leaves of the affected plant; if no damage results, spray the whole plant.

Make an ammonia spray by mixing one part household ammonia with seven parts water.

Make an oil spray by stirring one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap into one cup of vegetable oil (peanut, safflower, corn, soybean, or sunflower). Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of the soap and oil blend with one cup water, and apply to affected plants.on

TEXANS

A recent study found the average Texan walks about 900 miles a year!

Another study found Texans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer per
year!

That means, on average, a Texan gets about 41 miles to the gallon

FAVORITE COOKIE

Paula Deen's Magical Peanut Butter Cookies (makes 15 to 18 cookies)

1 cup crunchy or creamy peanut butter

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/3 cups Splenda sugar replacement ( I use 1 Cup of sugar)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a large baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar replacement, vanilla, and egg and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut. Place them on prepared baking sheet. With a fork dipped in the remaining sugar substitute, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle with remaining Splenda. Cool slightly before removing from pan.
