This has alighted upon Y Grystal Draig Wen and I thought someone might get a chuckle reading it; enjoy :) HOW TO SIMPLIFY HOUSEWORK If you can't see behind the furniture or appliances, then it's clean back there. An unmade bed will still be there tonight, ready for you to crawl into. There are three things you can do with dirty laundry: (Traditional) Wash/Dry/Iron/Fold/Put it away. (Efficient) Wear it! It's probably clean enough! (Philanthropic) Donate it! You wanted to shop for new clothes anyway! Remember dust and dirt go under the rug. Trash and debris go under the sofa! Get rid of your dust rags, vacuum cleaner, mops and brooms, and buy a leaf blower.

That's my kind of housekeeping, Glenda! I do have a friend though who is an excellent seamstress. When her daughter was small she quite often made a new dress for her instead of washing a dirty one! Her grand daughter who figure skated with my daughter would show up after school and say she had forgotten her skating dress. She knew Nanny would give her a new one to wear. (Nanny had a part time business selling skates and making skating dresses to order.) This was a running joke at skating. Jean in NS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenda R.
