O.T. Walk in .. was Re: Storing Fabric

Howdy!

We don't require "no shoes" rules here, altho' we have made our kids clean up their own muddy footprints, everyone else seems to know that they shouldn't track in mud; maybe we just have practical, mature friends. However, we have a few friends who insist on taking off their shoes, and I offer them socks (tho' I don't care if they go barefoot ). I buy cute, funny, cheap socks at the Dollar Store, and give them away. While I don't mind providing socks, I have no intention of washing them later, so "you wear them, you keep them" works okay. ;-P

Speaking of houses, storing stuff, clean or not-- anyone else a fan of Clean House w/ Niecy Nash? I discovered it this week and it's so bizarre it's ..it's.. well, what the hell are these homeowners thinking? Slobs who invite in a camera crew to show how slobby they are?!!? I'm liking Niecy & her team. But these homeowners: god have mercy!

Ragmop/Sandy-- "fixin' to" clean the floor so I can pin-baste the next quilt (it's going to it's new home in Virginia!)
