Sixteenth birthdays can be
something extra special. My
daughters birthday fell on the
day of the flood and so the plans
for a surprise party had to be
cancelled.
I’d like to tell you about her
friends party which was held at
our house several months ago.
The big thing at this party was a
huge box in the corner of the
room. The other guests just
couldn’t wait to have her open
this one particular gift.

Electric blanket—when your
alarm rings in the morning, turn
off the blanket first, then
the clock.
Dishwasher—for machines that
don't have partial load settings,
rinse and hold your dishes until
there is a full load
Television —if nobody's watching,
it should be turned off.
From the kitchen, I heard the
squealing and giggling in the
living room and arrived in time to
see her boyfriend crawl out. He
was the something “extra
special” at the party.
We’ve been having unusual
bouquets on our breakfast table.
Our row of dianthus, a carnation
like flower, is blooming
profusely. One child added carrot
leaves as the greenery and
another used endive leaves. I felt

Freezer—make sure your freezer
is not running colder than recom
mended by the manufacturer.
Replace worn-out or broken door
gaskets to prevent warm air
from leaking in.
Clothes washer—use the full
cycle setting only for full loads
Colored and slightly soiled clothes
can be cleaned in warm rather
than hot water
Clothes dryer—you can save
drying time by taking clothes out
while they are slightly damp and
just right for ironing
they were as attractive as the
hemlock twigs which we nor
mally add to flowers such as my
dwarf dahlias. There is nothing
like using your imagination when
making a pretty bouquet.

The Pacific Coast must have
something that we here in the
East don’t have. My daughter’s
been living in the state of'
Washington for a year now, while
getting her Master’s degree in
nursing, and tells us she wants to
get a job there. She loves the
skiing, camping and hiking in the
mountains.
She has a house on Mercer
Island with a wharf on Lake
Washington and a view of Mt.
Rainier. The boats are starting to
catch salmon now. One of her
neighbors rented an aqua-plane
and used her wharf to ferry his
guests.
She has many friends from the
University and also from a
church group, known as the
Iron—getting an iron hot enough
to take out wrinkles takes
electricity. So once it’s hot, do a
whole batch rather than one or
two items.

Air conditioner—closing draper
ies, blinds or curtains to keep out
direct sunlight can cut heat
coming into your house by 50
percent, substantially reducing
your air conditioner’s workload
Water heater—repair leaky hot
water faucets. A leak of one drip
per second for one year will pour
2500 gallons of hot water down
the dram. And remember, showers
take less hot water than baths.
