Look What I Found

There is a parable in the New Testament about a woman who lost a coin and swept the corners of her house until she found it. I didn't actually lose anything, but was "sweeping the corners" of my house (by cleaning out all the closets and drawers) when I found (in my mom's cleaning supply bin) a package of steel wool pads. I was so excited! These are the best scrubbers around, but are no longer available to buy. The company had to stop making them because they are bad for the environment. You can't use them to clean everything, they will scrub the finish right off your sink or bathtub, but your pots and pans will sparkle when you clean them with steel wool. I wonder how old this package is, the handwritten price on the bag reads 79 cents. I feel like the woman in scriptures rejoicing about her newly found coin; I am thrilled to have 3 brand-new scrubbers!

On another cleaning note, Rosie got to be a lunch worker last week at school. She was on Cloud Nine, every morning, dreaming about which job she would be assigned. She spent a day as a table washer, a day handing out the lunch trays, a day serving corndogs (which is funny because she has always disliked hotdogs), and two days selling milk cartons for 30 cents each. Here is a picture of Rosie in all her glory!
