spring is on it's way

Just back from a walk with Missy (the dog that adopted us).

Saw what I think was a quail and some deer tracks.

The sun is shining brightly today~love it!

I was cleaning my bathtub when...


My journey to GREEN!

14 years ago this very month I made the big switch to green cleaners!

Bleach was my favorite cleaner! You would walk into my home and know that I had been cleaning that day! My house would reek of bleach!!!

One day I decided to clean my clawfoot bathtub. It had that ring about halfway up... and it just needed to be cleaned! So I grabbed this spraying foam stuff one night after supper... started spraying the bathtub... and... I couldn't BREATH!!!

I knew that it was time for a change in my cleaning products!!!

When my friend Alycia who had young kids like me asked me, "What do you use to clean Matthew's potty chair?" My answer... bleach!

Alycia then told me about the earth-friendly, non-toxic cleaners that she used from Shaklee! We call them green cleaners now... but back 14 years ago... green was just a color!

Well, I got rid of my bleach and foaming bathroom cleaner... and made the change to Shaklee's non-toxic... yes.. GREEN cleaning products!

I did it for me... for my family... especially for my 2 1/2 year old son!

Well, it's been 14 years now! I still love the Shaklee cleaners! They clean my windows, my floors, my fruits & veggies, my microwave, stove, all my appliances, my dishes, my bathroom, the truck... even Missy, the dog that adopted us and more!

Thank you MobileME!

I tried and tried on my own to fix my computer... but finally had to take it in.

Here's what happened... my internal hard drive died... and to make matters worse... my external backup hard drive crashed & burned AT THE SAME TIME!

On the good side...
1. My Macbook (purchased 10/06) is still covered under warranty with Apple Care until September. So I got a brand new internal hard drive... and my case was beginning to crack and that was also replaced... cost to me ZERO!

2. I have MobileME! All my business contacts, calendars, previous emails, even my recipes were backed up to my idisk somewhere on Apple's computers!

Lesson learned...
I will do a much better job utilizing my idisk to back stuff up!

I found a good blog entry about getting the most from your idisk here.
