MIRACLE WET DOG SCENT REMOVER (FOR FLOORS)
liquid dish soap.
Quote given to me by my daughter, Nicole.
“Homemaking takes into account the spiritual values: love, peace, tranquility,
harmony among family members, security. It makes of a place of residence a spot
to which family members can retire from a confused and troubled world and find
understanding and rejuvenation. Its character is quietness; it evidences good
taste, culture, and refinement. Men, women and children alike have their
individual contributions to make to good home and family life, and each shares
in its benefits.”
Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, from April
6, 1945 until October 3, 1974.
