And this Sunday, weather permitting, I'll fix the 4 or 5 storm windows that need attention. Oh, and if you can't find a hot water bottle, you could make a corn bag: just cut 2 squares 12" or so from sturdy cotton fabric, sew together right sides together, leaving a gap for filling. Turn right side out, put a cup of so of shell corn inside, and sew up the gap. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds or so (maybe longer depending on your microwave) and use the corn bag to warm up the sheets! My aunt made me a couple, and I use them all the time. They're also good for sore backs & aching muscles as a heat pad.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564514698418229865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103061776704295860.post-60204747968264861762008-10-20T10:26:00.000-06:002008-10-20T10:26:00.000-06:00wowI'm feeling guilty I didn't do any stripping th...wow<BR/>I'm feeling guilty I didn't do any stripping this weekend myself.

I've been busy caulking.<BR/><BR/>I have a bedroom window to attend to and a new weather strip to put on the bottom of the front door and I think we should be about ready. OK. Let me rephrase.
