Reduce, Reuse, Recycle....


This is for Amy. I must say that every time I come home from Seattle I have a few adjustments to make. This is for several reasons: time zone change, missing Amy and Rachel, but also missing mass, city-wide recycling. Everyone recycles. Businesses, homes, apartments, condos. There are multiple bins for paper, plastic and cans everywhere. Food and yard waste collection is REQUIRED unless you compost at home! I realized when I visited last month that the garbage collection and recycling bin sizes are just the opposite of mine!  Her garbage can (small black one) is the size of my orange recycling bin, her recycling-the size of my garbage bin! Plus the added bin for food and yard waste.
Additionally, their garage houses their bikes, which they use for transportation daily.
Mindful of the importance of being a good steward of the planet and ever working toward the goal.

There's no place like home


After a whirlwind of fabulous travel, Seattle, Vancouver, Olympic Mountains..... and visits with fun folks like my DD and DIL, I am mindful that there's no place like home. I love coming home to my husband, my house, my friends, my hometown family, and even my job.
I feel so fortunate and blessed. Feelin' the love of home today......
