We're having to keep ourselves busy since our company left. We had such a great time with Wayne, Paul, and Steve Lavy, and Paul Ritchie. Steve and Paul R. headed back last Saturday, and Wayne and Paul left us on Wednesday. We hope they all come again soon and bring their families! Katie cried both times when the guys left:( So, to occupy ourselves, Katie, Hunter, and I made peach jam (which was supposed to be for Wilma, but Wayne was just too anxious to get back!), and homemade laundry detergent. So far, I've done 3 loads and the clothes have been just as clean or better than with store-bought detergent. Here's the recipe, should anyone care to try it. (It's supposed to end up costing $.04-$.08/load)
Homemade Powdered Laundry Detergent: 2 bars grated Ivory Soap, 1 c. Borax, 1 c. Washing Soda (not baking soda). Process in Food Processor until well-blended. Store in airtight container. Use 2 T. per large load. (Don't expect many suds)
