Soap idea

Maybe I can make this up with Alan for his teacher gifts:

Materials:

2 cups Ivory Snow detergent/Dreft (which ever you prefer)
2 tablespoons water
Food coloring
Bowl


Process:

1. Pour detergent into bowl
2. add colored water gradually until soap forms a ball with hands
3. add more water if necessary
4. experiment with other shapes
5. use as soap

I have an unopened box of Target brand dreft in the closet, might as well use it!

Near me, but not near me

It's two towns over for me. Washington Street is where I go to Goodwill. And the hospital mentioned is where Alan was born.
