This is my kitchen,
which combines two of my passions,
strawberries and Dawns.

Dawn is excited about the new dining room set

for Angie's birthday!
The dining set is now in the white house,

Dawn's 10 housekeeping rules to make your life easier .
1. Vacuuming too often weakens the carpet fibers. Say this with a serious
face and shudder delicately whenever anyone mentions Carpet Fresh.
2. Dust bunnies can evolve into dust rhinos when disturbed. Rename the area
under the couch "The Galapagos Islands" and claim an ecological exemption.
3. Layers of dirty film on windows and screens provide a helpful filter
against harmful and aging rays from the sun. Call it an SPF factor of "5"
and leave it alone.
4. Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduce the glare from the bulb,
thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your husband points out that the
light fixtures need dusting, simply look affronted and exclaim, "What? And
spoil the mood?"
5. In a pinch, you can always claim that the haphazard tower of unread
magazines and newspapers next to your chair provides the valuable Feng Shui
aspect of a tiger, thereby reducing your vulnerability. Roll your eyes when
you say this.
6. Explain the mound of pet hair brushed up against the doorways by claiming
you are collecting it there to use for stuffing handsewn play animals for
underprivileged children.
7. If unexpected company is coming, pile everything unsightly into one room
and close the door. As you show your guests through your tidy home, rattle
the door knob vigorously, fake a growl, and say, "I'd love you to see our
Den, but Fluffy hates to be disturbed and the shots are SO expensive."
8. If dusting is REALLY out of control, simply place a showy urn on the
coffee table and insist, "THIS is where Fancy Feet wanted us to scatter her
ashes."
9. Don't bother repainting. Simply scribble lightly over a dirty wall with
an assortment of crayons and try to muster a glint of tears as you say,
"Gary Jr. did this the week before that unspeakable accident.I haven't had
the heart to clean it."
10. Mix one-quarter cup pine-scented household cleaner with four cups of
water in a spray bottle. Mist the air lightly. Leave dampened rags in
conspicuous locations. Develop an exhausted look. Throw yourself onto the
couch and sigh, "I clean and I clean, and I still don't get anywhere."
