Big sister can be cool-ants continued


As to my ant problem I found out what was going on. These ants are called soap ants and are attracted to soap, they love the soap. That is why under the drain board in the kitchen, in the bathroom sink and even the clothes washer. My sister had this problem so she knew what was going on.
While I am at it I might as well let you know about a couple other goodies from my sister. In trying to cut back on costs of foods you naturally go for less expensive, right? NO! I was complaining about the taste of my foods because of using a less expensive cooking oil. Wrong again. It is less expensive to buy a bottle of good olive oil, not only does it help the taste of the food but you only use a touch of it instead of a lot and your food doesn't stick either.
So next time your big sister gives you advise, take it and use it, they are smarter than you think. Maybe that is because they have been around longer. Oh, sorry about that, she is a smart sister.
The picture is of the farm we grew up on. Not an ant farm!

OHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO

I know I am always complaining about no rain but why do we have to have severe storms coming in when I have a 150 mile round trip to the airport to pick up my friend that is flying in from Michigan tomorrow night.. Saturday night traffic, every loony on earth will be out driving like there is no tomorrow!!
Maybe it will speed up and be gone before 7 PM and the trip will go OK.
I once again have house-maids knees. But that breakfast nook looks great.. New table cloth, floor spotless and me sore from trying to squeeze through a one foot opening to get under the table and the benches, all built in.. My sister was laughing pretty hard Thursday evening when I described my ordeal of scrubbing the floor. No photos on this one.
