Flooring Your Shelves

I just had to share this idea with you. Yesterday at church, I was visiting with a friend and asking her if she got moved into their new place. She told me that yes, they had moved and that several of the ladies from our class had come over and helped her line her shelves and got her kitchen all put together. I stood there and thought about that and how nice that was for people to still go over to help a friend get settled. But, as I was thinking about how I should have thought about going over to help, she began to tell me what they did. Instead of buying the normal shelf paper which can get pretty expensive if you have lots of kitchen cabinets, she had gone and bought a box of the cheapest linolium flooring to use. The box of flooring cost her $6.00 and it was enough to cover all of her shelves. They just cut each sq to fit the cabinets and she now has shelving that she can wipe down and it really dressed up the inside of her dark cabinets. Had never even thought about doing that. So there you go, a new idea that would save you money and so easy to use. Also, I am so excited that we are having FRESH fried okra tonight. My grocery store had beautiful baby fresh okra so am frying some along with potatoes, fresh cut tomatoes, fresh green beans and squash….a perfect veggie meal tonight. When there are so many wonderful veggies to munch on, we don’t even miss having meat. We are trying to eat “meatless meals” Monday through Thursday nights so we can splurge alittle more on the weekends. Since there are so many car shows around the area over the weekends, there always seems to be people selling grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, so we don’t feel so bad when we allow ourselves to eat those delicious grilled hamburgers over the weekend. This weekend, we have two outdoor concerts to attend, one Saturday night and one Sunday night with our Sunday School class, so I know we will be really chowing down at the outdoor dinners. Am already counting down until Saturday night…great weather, concert music in the park and a dinner eaten out side…..ah…..what a weekend!
