Sometimes we wonder if our seemingly small actions really make a difference. A couple of days ago I had a meeting in town and afterwards, as I started home, I saw the person in the car ahead of me toss a can out his window. Grrr…. It was a quiet, residential area and no other…

Let the organizing begin!
This is one of the closets in our exercise room. I store all our gift wrapping supplies, boxes and extra gifts here (the top shelf has the satellite box and some of David’s stuff that I don’t mess with). It was all neat and organized at one time but over the past year has drifted…

Changing the World…
One of the *green blogs* I enjoy is No Impact Man. He has an interesting post today about the “needle exchange approach to planetary damage” which is well worth the read. I’ve long been a believer in the idea that lots of people doing just a little can make a big difference. Some seem to…
