Hold that spot!
When
we moved into our new home a few years ago, we replaced the
carpet in several rooms of the house. After a few months I noticed a
spot on the family room carpet.
I soaked a cotton ball with the Club Soda and rubbed into the spot.
I then rubbed it with a couple of paper towels to absorb the soda.
Okay, you can't beat a 69c bottle of Club Soda :-)
Of course I was not happy about this spot on our new flooring.
Recently I read on a blog (sorry but I can't remember where it
was first posted) about spot cleaning using Club Soda!! Hum........ now
this sounded interesting.
So I figured I would give it a try.
And wa-la!! The spot is gone!!!!

What Momma Left Behind
Worie Dressar is a young woman who gave up her chance of marriage to help her mother after her father died. The story is placed in the eastern Tennessee mountains in 1898 when disease runs though the mountains like wild fire. After her mother dies, and as influenza and typhoid spread, Worie is left with feeding the the children orphaned by the deaths. Through all of her struggles she learns to trust God and learns compassion for others.
What Momma Left Behind by Cindy K. Sproles was such a different story than I normally read. Ms Sproles narrative was through the eyes of Worie, a simple. uneducated woman. I found the book a little hard to read in the dialect, but the realities and hardship of moutain life came through.
I think you will find it is a sad story but one of compassion and love, as the people of the mountains care for each other. The characters are well written and brings you to a place of understanding how people lived in extreme poverty.
