Fruit ripener. Winter is not usually the best time to buy fresh ready-to-eat produce. Put your not-quite-ripe fruit in a brown bag (no more than 2 or 3 pieces per bag), fold loosely and set on the counter. In a couple of days your peaches and avocados will have ripened to appetizer-ready perfection. Surface protection. That stack of brown bags will prove to be a great boon during holiday project time. Cut and spread them to protect your tables and floors from glue, paint, glitter and frosting.
That Special Something Alice has her special something...
“I absolutely love living here. It’s like Heaven to me. I love that it is all on one floor...no steps to worry about. The nurses are wonderful and they always come when I call for them. I would like everyone to live in a place as wonderful as this!” - Alice, Assisted Living Resident

Reuse as…bags! The holidays inevitably bring extra trips to the grocery. As a reminder, put “Remember bags!” at the top of your shopping list. You can usually get several uses out of one brown bag. •••
