TRAVEL KIT I have a little kit I keep in the car. It contains gallon-size zip-lock bags, paper napkins, straws and a ntibacter ia l soap. It 's a m a z i n g h o w many times I use it. Once, my daughter became sick on the way home from an event. The zip lock bag and napkins came in very handy. Then there was the time my son had to pet a friend's dog and then wanted to have a snack on the ride home. A nti - bacterial soap, to the res- cue. Having straws handy means I can keep my eyes on the road and take a swig of a can of soda at the same time. -- Mary Jo., Kentucky S HO O, F L I E S . I ' v e learned that keeping fresh rosemary around keeps the flies away. A growing plant in a windowsill is a great idea. -- Bud M., email ROLLS LIKE BOB'S S ometi me s I forget to buy din- ner rolls to go with t h e ent r e e I ' ve made for dinner. Then I remember what they used to do at Bob's Big Boy when I went there as a kid. They toasted split hamburger buns and served them in place of dinner rolls. If it's good enough for Bob, then it's good enough for my family. They love it, too! -- Jennifer B., Wyoming SAVING MEMORIES My husband loved his tro- phies from his "glory days," but they were becoming un- sightly in their sprawling mass. He agreed to part with them, on one condition -- that I take a picture of each tro- phy. I have more space, and he still has proof of his past achievements. -- Carol S., Vermont MYLAR-ED WALLS A good use for Mylar bal- loons after the celebration is over is to deflate them and use them like wallpaper in your child's bedroom. Start in the center of the wall and move outward, overlaying them as the years and bal - loons grow. We did this for my daughter, and by the time she was a senior in high school, her one wall was to - tally covered. Her friends en- joyed the celebration wall, and our daughter would re- live some of the celebrations and memories as she talked about some of the unique and different balloons. -- Jim M., Florida DIY ICE PACKS To make your own flexible ice packs, pour ¾ cup water and ¼ cup rubbing alcohol into a zip-type plastic bag, and close. Put the zipped bag into a second bag, seal, and freeze. You will have a slushy bag of ice whenever needed for sprains or head - aches. Make sure you label these bags clearly. -- Donna G., Florida SHELF LINER If you want sturdy shelf liner material that looks great and cleans up easily, consider self-stick vinyl floor tiles. They're simple to cut to size and come in lots of col - ors and styles. Look on the clearance table for opened boxes or discontinued styles that have been marked down for quick sale.
