Tracy Faulkner 5/22/2017 6:10 AMI 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.... -
