Home Again . . . Naturally

We've been gone for days...nine, to be exact. Our trip started in Portland...we flew to Las Vegas. I know, that sounds like fun but I'm not a good flyer...I tend to get motion sick.

I hate that. Being such a wimp.

I love leaning over to look out the window on the plane and seeing all the little pretty patchworks of patterns down beneath us but watching those colors zoom past can leave me feeling queasy and ready to lose my lunch...literally. So flying from one place to another is not a great way to spend any time...at least not for me. But, once I'm at the destination, I'm enjoying myself.

How bout you...? Is there anything about traveling that you don't like? Anything that makes you feel a little queasy? Or is it all worthwhile no matter what?

Book Review: Dewey The Small Town Library Cat

This was fun to read and it was even better because it's a true story.

Dewey i's the story of one small cat who touched an entire world.

I'd never heard the story of Dewey before but I wasn't surprised to learn how many people were touched by him. He had an amazing life. It wasn't that he was an heroic animal (like Lassie) or that he could do awesome tricks (like Rin Tin Tin) but he loved people and, because of that one simple fact, people loved him back.

It's one of those heartwarming stories that leaves you feeling warm and good inside.

It's not a fast-paced action adventure story but I would definitely recommend Dewey.

Earth-Friendly Friday

We all can do something to save resources. If we all do a little, it will do a lot.

For example:

Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth.
Reuse towels more than once.
Turn off lights when you leave a room.
Use cloth kitchen towels instead of paper towels.

It's the little things in life that can make a BIG difference.

So think about it.

The 24 Hour Film Race is just around the corner.

It begins May 17th but you can sign up now and save some money. The fee is $95.00 per team but the price goes up after April 18, plus you can save more if you tweet about the competition.

So, if you've ever thought about making a movie...you might want to read all about it.

If you participate, let me know. I'd love to hear about it.
