We have an older home with wooden windows. Several years ago, we purchased storm windows that got installed on the outside of our wooden windows. They work great, but our window over the kitchen sink has small spiders that spin their webs between the inside and the storm window.
In addition, there are bug vacuums sold at hardware stores that can usually collect the spiders and release them outdoors, but these can be a bit expensive. Judy, fortunately, gift-giving season is nearly upon us. You can take several or even just two that are the same size and wrap a pretty ribbon around them. Then take them to any office and hand them out.When our four sons were small, everyone in the family wore the same bright shirts when we went to unfamiliar or crowded places on vacation.
Katherine, this is such a great idea. Far too many children get lost in crowds, where they might get frightened, but I know it’s usually the parents who are frantic. I’ve had letters from readers who told me that they put a whistle around their child’s neck. They told them to blow the whistle if they were lost and raise their left hand straight up in the air to signal to Mom to come over and get them.
