Does any one know why there is broken glass throughout a couple of our streets here in the neighborhood? Kids were outside today stating that there is glass all over.

Recycling day is tomorrow. Remember all papers and catalogs are being collected at NeSmith elementary to help raise money. Please take just those items up there for recycling. I saw on the news yesterday that recycling has taken a big hit because of the economy. Let's cross our fingers that things improve. I would hate to start having to throw everything in the garbage can!

No one has commented on any blog entries lately. Please comment if you would to let me know that I actually have some readers!

Gardening Thursday!

When would any of you suggest planting strawberries or flowers. The package says during the months of January and February, when the ground reaches 50 degrees. Since I am not much of an outdoors person, would you say that the ground temperature is that right now? Any help with this would be appreciated!

Money Savings Tip

Cancel unused club memberships. Are you paying dues at a club that you never use? Like, for instance, a gym membership or a country club membership? Cancel these club memberships, even if you think you might use them again someday - you can always renew the membership at a later date if it turns out that you actually do miss it
