Did you ever try to peel potatoes with a dull paring knife? How much easier and quicker it is when you take time to sharpen the knife first. I was thinking about a quote that I heard when I was in College a lot of years...

Kathy That sounds like a great website that sends you envelopes to send back junk mail. My hubby loves to tear our names off of any junk mail and if there is a return envelope he sends the rest back to them...so they get junk mail. Make it a great day!

My girls slept well

Dominique @dodo19 (47317) • Beaconsfield, Quebec 14 Mar 16
