well my part thus far is being less wastefull. i no longer just toss out leftovers for one thing and make a list now of what i need from town before i start my car.

we have planted a garden and if all goes well we will have some fresh veggies to eat all year long.........that is if i can recall how mom did it.

home entertainment works for me and i think porch sitting is just plain good for the soul i grew up living the simple life .......when eating out was a rare occaision and a hamburger from dairy queen was treat!

recently we took my inlaws out to eat and as usual they will order one entree to divide between them and water to drink. their response when told to order anything they want....it is our treat....is they did and now they can enjoy each and every bite knowing they didn't break the bank or the pocketbook

i truley believe if we lived as frugile as the folks in the 50's did it would be a giant step in the right direction.
