Freshen your indoor paint

February might not be the time for a repaint if you can't open your doors and windows but it is a great time to freshen up your current paint job. Magic Erasers are perfect for this, taking off all kinds of spots. Dampen the sponge and run it gently over any dirty areas (don't press too hard or you can remove the paint). The Magic Eraser really is magic, taking off all kinds of dirt and stains. You can also freshen a lackluster paint job by spot painting with a brush. Take a very small amount of paint and scrub it with a sideways motion over areas you want to retouch. You're not painting,only dry brush a very small amount onto the wall. If the fumes from the paint are bothersome you can add a drop of vanilla to the paint to cover the smell.

Local Spotlight on Blue Bee Cafe

susan@muremedia.com (Susan Muther) — Mon, 27 Jan 2020 18:01:49 GMT

There are a lot of reasons to visit Delhi, NY--the political and cultural center of Delaware County. The village is the region’s liveliest gathering place and includes a well-kept three-block Main Street with a variety of stores, restaurants and cafes. Among them is local favorite Blue Bee Cafe, a delightful juxtaposition of old storybook decor and modern day cuisine. The Blue Bee Cafe catches your eye immediately with its classic large-windowed storefront, quaint flower-filled window boxes, and hand-painted sign hanging above the entrance. Whether you were planning to stop or not, most likely, you’ll be pulled inside. And once over the threshold, the aromatic pastry-filled display case mesmerizes.
