Homemaking Tip

If you break a glass on a hard floor, pick up any large pieces carefully. Sweep the area using a dustpan and brush. Take a slice of bread or a disc of playdough and gently press it over the area to remove any small shards of glass.

Visiting with blog friends

I really enjoy Joy’s blog at Artful Homemaking.

    What a beautiful photo!!!

    I love Beverly Lewis and have read The Fiddler, though I’ll say that it wasn’t one of my favorite of her books, but it was pretty good 🙂

    Your menu looks good, as always.

    Have a great week Debbie!
