Sharing

Before I get to today's topic, I'll share that we lost power again last night with our trusty utility company. It's really fun rushing my husband out the door -he's not a morning person anyway. We have a clock radio with a battery back-up but it needs fixed. I pointed out the last time we saw the new ones at the store that we should just buy one. He insists, though, when he finds his soddering iron, he can fix this one. Yep, that helped us out this morning! I think our utility company is the only one in America that loses power when there's no storm or wind. They do pretty well during those, it's the nice quiet weather we have to be afraid of!

Now, for today's tip from "The Green Year," which is to use a basic principle our mothers all taught us - sharing. Take your read magazines to a hospital or nursing home. I take some of mine to the nursing home in Marion County and they always seem to appreciate me dropping them off. On some of the magazines, I swap with my neighbor. I like the country decorating magazines and she gets cooking magazines. Once we swap them back (which saves me money on subscriptions), they go to the nursing home.

Have a Happy, Green Weekend!
