Hints from Heloise

Other uses for bread bags:

“Use to dispose of small, dirty diapers.

“Put in a gym bag to hold a wet swimsuit.

“Line a coffee can with one and use the can to collect wet garbage.

“Use to cover your hand for a messy job, like picking up after Fido.

“Cut into strips, tie strips together and crochet into a throw rug.

Dear Heloise: After my mother died, we had a hard time trying to figure out who some of the people in her address listings were. When I set up my new address book, I put a category after each name (co-worker, friend, church member, etc.).

I hope that this will be helpful to my girls if anything ever happens to me in the future. – Patty Roosa, Ravenna, Ohio
