I love how Beverly solved her problem -- a problem that was odd, if you ask me. I mean, really, who would build a bathroom with no room for towel racks?! and-slide" for my kids. We anchor the corners of the tarp with tent pegs and turn on the garden hose with a sprayer. Lots of fun! -- Mike, South Carolina WRAP UP THE CHEESE. We are cheese lovers, and I buy it in COATS. Our new home's bathroom had no towel racks, and there really wasn't a good place to mount one, either. I bought an inexpensive black metal, 6-foot coat and hat rack, and spray-painted it white. Now our towels have a place to hang, and it looks great! -- Beverly, Colorado BATH TIME MEETS BEACH TIME. When my kids were young, I purchased two beach towels for each of them to use at bath time. They loved the size, and two towels apiece worked well. While one was in use, the second was cleaned and stacked in the linen closet. -- Karen, Virginia TARPS FOR WORK AND HANGING TOWELS, NOT bulk. Often it starts to get moldy before we use it all. I started wrapping the cheese in wax paper and placing it in a zip- type baggie. Now it stays fresh without any mold. - - Charlotte, Massachu- setts PLAY. I use the big poly tarps -- the ones you find at home-improve- ment stores -- for collecting yard trimmings. The tarps are large enough to hold the clippings, and the debris slides easily off into a yard bag. I also use these as a "slip- OUT. When planting small seeds, such as car- rot or lettuce seeds, put them in an old salt shak- er with holes large enough for the seeds to fall through. You can then just shake the seeds down your garden rows. -- Yolanda, Ohio CAKE DECORATING WITH SHAPES. My favorite way to quickly decorate a frosted cake is to take a cookie cutter, place it on top of the frosting, and pour sprinkles inside the cookie cutter. When I lift the cutter off, I have a perfectly sprinkled design. -- Nancy, Illinois YEAR-ROUND SANDBOX. SHAKE THE SEEDS River Discovery Center program series will begin early this year at 7 p.m. Aug. 16 at the Farm Bureau Building, 275 Sale Lane. After a positive meet- ing in June, the attendees decided to come back together in August to revisit some of the ideas brought forth in the dis- cussion. Special to the DN The fall Sacramento These ideas included the possibility of creating a Joint Powers Agreement with the Forest Service to expand the recreational possibilities at the Red Bluff Recreation Area. In June the group agreed there are a number of recreational opportuni- ties that are non-con- frontational and align with the goals of the For- est Service. Ideas being investigated include those that have a very low noise element and would con- For a year-round sandbox, buy two different-sized plastic kiddie pools. The sand goes in the smaller pool and the larger pool flips over to cover the entire thing. We did this last summer, and the sand- box sat outside all winter, covered in snow. When we took the cover off in the spring, the sand was just fine, and our daughter was able to play right away. -- Beverly, New York Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate ICE CHEST ODORS. In the summer I use my ice chest a lot. Sometimes it starts to smell. When I'm not using it, I place a bowl of charcoal inside and close the lid. The next morning, I remove the charcoal and clean the ice chest with warm soapy water. No more smells! -- Claudette, Minnesota Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
