Show MOAB SOCIAL SCENE I BY BRENDA I read an article the other day on borrowing trouble The author of the piece said most anticipated troubles never develop and worries are all for lor naught It reminded me of 01 the half hatt hour I thought I might be blind I had been using a can of spray cleaner which suddenly suddenly sud sud- denly refused to spray For some reason when spray gadgets fall fail to work people look in the nozzles to see why That's what I did and caught an eyeful of cleaner Terrified I washed it out and rushed to the doctor There I explained to a waiting room of 01 people what had happened One by one they told me tales of someone they knew who had been blinded by various incidents By the time my turn came to see the doctor I was so frightened I 1 had to have havea a shot for my nerves My eye was uninjured That's probably what the writer meant by borrowing g trouble Spray utilities are manufactured by the dozens these days but Ill I'll never forget my first Introduction to them It was a long time ago before we moved to Moab I had concocted a scrumptious plum pudding for a Christmas party and dashed to the store for some whipping cream for lor garnish I returned home with a can of spray whipped cream the first Id I'd ever seen which apparently would squirt whipped pre cream on d deserts in fancy patterns That was for me mel My party was a tremendous success mostly because of the plum pudding dessert served with a fluffy garnish of whipped cream and cherry topping My husband always a great help at parties had been most Intrigued with the canned whipped cream It was his artistic touch that decorated the desserts After dinner as often happens the men drifted to the kitchen and I heard my husband lauding the spray cream Then there was a whoop and silence He explained afterwards how it happened The cream dried on do the nozzle and when he attempted to demonstrate nothing happened He turned it ft up to investigate and the nozzle unplugged spattering him smack in the face In his surprise he did everything but take his thumb off the push button The ribbon of cream hit the ceiling traveled around the room and garnished every male guest before it ran out of oomph Spray utilities now are available In window cleaners i starch and tooth paste furniture polish dog soap and all kinds of cleaners I use them and love them but never fall fail to remember with a chuckle how pretty my husband looks la a |
