The memory of someone telling us "a how to" can be a lifesaver. Over the years, these tried and true helpful hints have earned a special place in our lives. In the garden, in the kitchen, while out camping and even doing crafts we rely on others experiences to make even the smallest task that much easier. We hope the hints and tips that we pass along to you are some you may have forgotten about. And the new ones you will keep in your memory bank for later use and to be shared with family and friends.

Painting Tip

Painting can leave your hands covered in all of the colors you are using. If you don’t wear gloves, spray your hands with cooking oil this will help your hands clean up easier.

Pick up loose paint bristle freshly painted walls with tweezers.
