    I sm celebrating already! Why? Because I feel like "a" winner. No, our team is not on first, though we are #6, I simple feel better. My husband and I have reduced our water outflow, used less energy, recycled more, got comfortable with yellow water, walked more, ate less, know more about; WM, PUD, and LINK!  

    Go team go! It would be a bonus to earn the 1500.00 for our children to go to camp this summer....

    Sorry Team,  I was off grid for two days!  Which feels like we should get some kind of credit for that.  But back in town fully connected.

    Today I went to the HS and met with Wendy the Family Advocate; I praised her for her passion towards youth. I am thankful for people like her. I invited 5 people to take part in supplying food to the Panther Pantry, I am thankful for those that said "yes".  I cleaned my office; I am thankful I have an office!
