My new 'friend'

So, I have this friend. Her name is Kimberly Taylor.

She has great taste, cooks amazing meals, decorates beautifully, and has the best outfits and makeup tips. She and I exchange our ideas everyday. She is always there, lending a helpful tip or encouraging phrase for the day's challenges. We seem to have very parallel interests and likes.

I have no idea how old she is, how many kids she has, if she is married or even what state she lives in. For all I know... she could be in the same town as me or clear across the USA. You wonder how I know her? She is my bestest friend on Pinterest. Every time I jump onto Pinterest, she is always right there. How she and I began following each other's boards is a mystery for me. We aren't friends on Facebook and as far as I know, we do not have any common 'friends'.

The world has changed so much, so fast. What will it be like when my kids have their grandchildren? Will they be telling stories about the good ole' days and how they remember a 'mailman' delivering the mail each day? Much like the intrigue I had as a child hearing about the 'milkman'. Will they have friends that are 'virtual'... nothing more, nothing less. Are these the new 'penpals' for my kiddos' generation. (As one of my kids is asking me "what is a penpal? And why would you write a letter and mail it if we can just email them or post to their Facebook." Oh Lordy!) 

Tests & Trials of Pinterest

So I have been working my way thru all the great ideas on Pinterest. So far I wasted a whole day cooking Chicken Teriyaki in the crock pot which did not come out good. I actually went back to Pinterest and deleted the post. On the flip-side I made the most amazing grout cleaner of all times. I was a miracle right before my eyes. While it was processing, I went thru the storage area under my kitchen sink and throw away any and all commercial grout cleaner I had. I was just dumb-founded by the amount of dirt that raised up out of my grout. I knew it was dirty but I thought it was permanently stained for life. Oh no.... the grout came back to how it look 118 years ago when it was first installed. Amazing! That is my only words for it. Once I figure out the process, I will link the recipe from Pinterest to this post for all to share in the joy.

Yesterday I tried a great idea for ridding of ant in the kitchen. I went to the store and bought the borax and then came home and made the concoction. It's didn't work. It attracted LOTS of ants but all the ants stayed clear of the nice little cotton pads soaked in Borax and sugar, spread nicely through out my kitchen. It was a major bust so I too went back to Pinterest and deleted the post.

I will continue my Pinterest quest of finding new remedies and continue to post the results!
