Day Light Savings!

Spring is the most difficult time change for me.    Oh, yes, I know that I will have an extra hour of sunlight in the evenings but I am a morning person so I spend about a week "running" to find my morning hour!

This is also the "Rite of Spring Cleaning".  If you are like me, you would prefer to ignore the spring-cleaning ritual until you have visitors.   But this year seems different.   The endless autumn into Winter has yielded plenty of 70-degree days to roam outside, so it feels easier to sacrifice a day of decent weather to the gods of sanitation.

Let's start with a simple strategy - cleaning the windows to bring in that extra sun in the evenings!    Check your cabinets where alternative cleaning tools and agents may lurk.     Like coffee filters, for instance are great for washing windows.    You may go through a lot of them but they don't leave ink on your hands as newspaper does or lint on the windows like paper towels.

Rubbing alcohol and vinegar are also useful.   For a home-brewed window cleaner, mix one cup of alcohol with one cup of water and add a tablespoon of white wine vinegar.   For an all-purpose cleaning solution, add one-quarter cup of vinegar to a gallon of water.

Next,  let's spring clean those old financial records that will not be used for income tax records.  Set them aside and have ready to be shredded on Saturday, April 19 from 9-11:15 at the Villages Cribari East Parking lot.  

Now is the time to purchase, don't let an opportunity to purchase with low interest rates and lower prices pass you by.   Prices are rising in The Villages so don't wait...today is the BEST day to purchase!
