STORING BEDSHEETS

This week I brought out my spring bedsheets. They're white of course. I told two friends today how I store my sheets and they were impressed so I hope you will be too. At one time we had a queen, double and twin beds. Since I like white sheets I mark the tag on the flat and fitted sheet tag with a marker with a capital Q, D or T to denote the size. When I store the sheet I fold the flat and fitted sheet and one pillow case and stack them. Next I slide them inside the second pillow case and fold the end over. Now that we have three queen size beds all the sheets fit any bed. The other tip I have is when we go out of town I take pillows with color pillow cases.because when we were in Arkansas several yours ago my husband left two brand new pillows at the hotel that had white pillow cases on them. We had the pillows picked up by a family member. The next time I was in town I picked them up. Yes I was asked why I had to have them back - I had just bought them and they were expensive pillows. No wonder my husband brought them.

DAY 1 THE HOTEL

Our first hotel reminded me of a country club because it had grand rooms with hardwood flooring. You could imagine it hosting elaborate weddings and dances. The elevator was small but not the smallest on the trip. I shared the room with another woman in our group. We knew to bring a converter for the outlets but that was the least of my worries. Where was the light switch? How do you turn the lamps on. Our room was cute with its hardwood floors and furniture. The bathroom was long and skinny with white tile. I was happy it had natural lighting in it. We had a tub, and it was the last one I would see on the trip. The tub was tall and skinny with an old glass panel on the left side. I hit my shin trying to get in. At this point I wondered if they had handicap equipped rooms. All the light switches were mounted on the side. We never figured out the thermostats.
