BUT, I put them nice side up, because my quilt or comfortere/pillows covers that part when the bed is fully made. and I think the softer side tends to be the underside.....but then if you throw the blanket off, the nice side is up. Unless you spend time UNDER the sheet looking at it (heh) it seems more logical for the nice side to be on top! Now when you peel an orange....... Heh Jo

I can't say I get any great thrill out of it either way. See you can tell Sandy is close to my Mom's age! heheh >

But seriously, my grandmother used to bake potatos in the over, wrap it in tin-foil, and my mom would put it in her pockets to keep her hands warm while she walked to school! |
