TIP OF THE DAY
Tips on securing appliances in your home if you plan to be away for a while:
• Empty the refrigerator, turn it off and open the door.
• If you prefer to leave the frig on, remove all items which
can spoil and add items like bottles of water to retain the cold
and help the unit use less energy, but turn off the ice maker.
• Put 2-3 tbsp. of vegetable oil in the dishwasher to keep
the seals moist. Do not latch the door.
• Also. put vegetable oil in the garbage disposal to prevent
it from locking up.
• Open the door of the clothes washer.
• Unplug other appliances throughout the house.

TIP OF THE DAY
If you need to clean dust and mildew from the vinyl siding on your home, before you rent a pressure washer, try Windex Outdoor Window and Surface. It works great with very little effort. Hook it to a hose and you're half way done. Remember you need not remove the screens just spray over them as well as the windows and siding and then rinse and you're finished. I'm a seasoned citizen and normally have to hire someone to do many of my outdoor chores but this is a task I don't hesitate to attack. This product gets a gold star from me!

Vacations for Veterans
I heard there is a non-profit organization that arranges for lodging for military veterans and their families in personal vacation homes. Does anyone know anything about this?
