  1. Thanks for the shout out! I especially liked the one about storing the sheet sets in a pillow case, and the one about the popcorn really worked. Gotta remember the straw one when strawberry season starts... and I am gonna stick a magnetic strip on the back of the bathroom vanity door as soon as the motorhome warms up!
