Today’s Quote: “I’m grateful for every day I’m still alive. Everything is still working. I attribute it to eating a lot of processed foods. I think it’s the preservatives that keep me going. That, and I eat as much chocolate as I can get my hands on.” – – Joan Rivers

Household Cleaning Tip

Like anything else in your home, ceiling fans become dusty, too. Clean them three or four times per year. First, take a cleaning rag and lightly spray it with a cleaner or furniture polish. Then, wipe the cleaning rag across the top, bottom, and side of each blade. Use care to avoid pushing down hard on the blades.

That’s all there is to it!
