This year is flying by.  Here are just a few thoughts…

• Wrong word of the night: tonight at dinner, my son asked for more “Papa Johnna Cheese” for his pasta.  Close, but not quite right.
• Green living: We are trying to learn more about living greener and cleaner.  I’m really enjoying finding out more ways to do this and love finding books and internet sites that help me be a better consumer.  I’m waiting anxiously for the book “Do One Green Thing” from Mindy Pennybacker… on hold at the library.  I’m trying new cleaning products (including a really old one, Borax), trying to shop more organic, and researching buying local foods.  I guess this could be considered my new hobby???  I am certainly having fun with it!
• A little color: We decided our house needed a little more color, so off to Lowe’s we went and we came home with Gum Drop Red paint and we painted the door RED!  I love it.  If you have ever noticed a lot of red front doors, here is link to why some people have chosen red for their color choice: http://www.homecurbappeal.com/what-does-a-red-door-mean-the-history-origin-and-meaning-of-having-a-red-front-door/
