Ways to Use Coffee Filters ...

{I got these ideas in an email, but I thought they were good enough to share}

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect China. Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.

4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.

13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, or chicken fingers on them. Soaks out all the grease.

Pay it Forward

New Trailer

This Friday Kelly was off.. so we went looking for a new camp trailer... I was hopeful that we may be able to find something in our price range. We have a nice older trailer.. but Kelly is tired of having to make up and down the bed every night!! And since he is such a good man... we needed to try and fix this. SO THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND.......



It looks a little crowded.. but there is a huge slide out that is IN...





This is the kitchen.... NOTICE the
sad wooden table... well there is NO TABLE/BOOTH or a COUCH....... But we will have to take care of that... nothing big. LOL!

The picture on the right is the view in up into the bedroom. Bathroom in on the left and there is a nice closet on the right.

I am excited I never thought we would be able to pull this off.... HOPEFULLY we will have it all together so that we can take it out on the maiden voyage the end of the month to NASCAR in Vegas!!! For sure it will be ready for the turkey hunt in May!!!!
