It seems that the only time I can get to the board is on my days off. And, that's if nothing else happens to be going on that day. I must really be getting old to not be able to get to everything that I want to do.

Today I have a problem. ANTS ! ! I've been killing scads of them on my kitchen counters. Other than clearing the counters, washing them good with warm soapy water, and killing the ones that I see, what can I do? Does anyone have any suggestions? I think I have to empty out the lower cupboards too in case there're any down there too.

Last weekend I spent the entire weekend in Illinois by ds & his family. My d-i-l had a workshop to introduce the new catelog from the stamping company that she demonstrates for. I'm so excited about the new scrapbooking sheets. They're all pre-designed. All you have to do is add the pictures and put it in your book. There are some nice designs and I can't wait to get my order. Maybe this will be the incentive I need to get working on my scrapbooks. OMG, I just realized that I sound like an advertisement.

This week I don't have very much on my schedule (except a baby shower on Saturday). So, I hope to relax a bit and catch up with my household chores.

Morning Kaci

Ant yikes!! I hate those darn things. Clean out the cabinets and go get some ant traps and some ant spray. I have a problem here with those darn things. The traps and spray help the most. Actually I use a spray of bleach and very little water that kills them too and then get the traps and that will keep them away for a while you have to replace the traps every so often but they really work. You can get them at any discount store.

Have a good week

Hugs and Love

Mary

Kaci, once in a great while I see ants.

Takes awhile to find where the trail

starts. I just super clean the kitchen

and kill them when I see them; goes

away eventually.

just my 2 cents....

love,

cindy

That was my take on it too. It seems that it happens about once a year.

The ant traps and the bleach is a good idea. Thanks.
