We hope all of you Mom's out there had a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! There's nobody quite like Mom. Though mine has been gone for several years, I can still taste the comfort food she cooked when I was sick or my favorite meal she made on my birthday. I still bake the pecan pie that was her signature dish. Ah tradition! We may not say it enough Mom, but we love you.

You're probably also thinking about the picnics and family gatherings for Memorial Day. What will you be grilling? Burgers? Brats? Hot dogs? Go to our Facebook page and tell us. gficomfort

This is also the time to call (630)879-1544 for your Spring Air Conditioner clean and check service. We've already had a taste of summer and GFI wants to make sure your home is comfortable now that the temps are rising.

HELPFUL HINTS

If you covered your air conditioner for the winter and haven't already done so, remove the cover and clear debris around the outside unit. Change your filter for more efficient operation.

After Mother's Day, it is usually safe to plant herbs and annuals in your garden.
Clean stains on tea or coffee cups using denture tablets.
And I suppose it's time to wash the windows so you can see the bright sunshine!

WANT TO ADD FIBER TO YOUR DIET?

Use hummus as a sandwich spread instead of mayonnaise.
Make sure the first ingredient in your wheat flour product is 100% whole wheat.
Include the fiber packed skins in mashed potatoes or potato salad.
Eat your legumes! Beans, peas or lentils deliver loads of fiber in a 1/2 cup serving.

Before we go, May also means honoring our service men and women as we celebrate Memorial Day. Thanks to all of you who have served, past and present.
