Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I wanted to recycle, but I couldn’t fill the container and then lift it.

My clever son got a plant roller, attached it to my recycling bin, then made two holes for a little rope. Now I pull my little recycling “wagon” very easily. - Jacquelyn Driesslein, San Antonio

Dear Heloise: I recently picked too many roses and did not have enough frogs or foam to arrange them, so I used plastic wrap to position them. The plastic wrap worked well as a positioner, but the real benefit was how beautiful it looked in the clear vases. I crumpled it before placing it in the vase. - Shirley J.
