You know my friend Sue. We met in the 7th grade -- and we've been friends ever since. We ALWAYS enjoy spending time together when we get the chance...
 |
| But Sue's interests are different from mine. She LOVES to garden and work in the yard -- good thing, too!! |
 |
| Because she and her husband spent several years restoring the old farmhouse on her family's Century farm in Scott County, Iowa. And there are HUNDREDS of trees planted on the property....along with flowers, and shrubs, and bushes, and a huge garden. Well -- IT ALL KEEPS HER BUSY. And she loves it... |
 |
| And the inside of Sue's home is always neat as a pin. I don't know anybody who starches linens any more. But SUE DOES. Sue has them in every room...this is a corner of the kitchen... |
 |
| Hanging on the shower door in the downstairs bathroom... |
 |
| On a small table, situated in a corner of the formal dining room. |
 |
| There is a dresser scarf on every piece of furniture in the house...perfectly ironed and starched... |
 |
| I AM NOT KIDDING -- it can be very annoying, people... |
 |
| See the doilies under her formal dishes? Really, Sue?? |
Sue is the kind of friend who makes you feel like YOU SHOULD BE DOING MORE....
And it seems funny to me that, nowadays, there are so many articles and pictures and classes about how to "recycle linens". Maybe we don't give enough thought to USING THEM AS THEY WERE INTENDED?? So I asked Sue to walk me through it...how do you actually STARCH linens??
Stay tuned...(you know me and videos)...fingers crossed...
