I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Thanks for finding that!!!!! It came to me just as I posted. I agree that when possible, the author should be given due credit.

If dust makes a home then I have a wonderful home. I don't mind vacuuming, moping, laundry, but I hate to dust. I need the leaf blower. :lol:

That's about how I feel...we are in the country, surrounded by farm fields, on a dirt road, and prevailing winds from the road towards the house. We don't stand a chance!!!!

I liked the comment about the leaf blower...that would work well for me!! LOL

I live in AZ and about 20 minutes after I dust it's back, just like magic...LOL

Having lived in AZ all my life I got use to the dust but always had lighter colored wood furniture; when I remarried (I was widowed) my new DH (12 yrs new now...hehehe) came with black furniture!!! Definitely can write in black :D
