Our annual Ethiopian adoption support group picnic was last weekend down in Denver. Picnics are so much fun. We got to see friends that we hadn't seen in awhile, and we also got to meet a lot of new friends. The downside to picnics is that they usually create a lot of waste. In order to mitigate some of that, I packed some of our own plates, wash cloths,silverware and water bottles, along with a plastic bread bag to bring home the dirty dishes.
We tried to green things up at the picnic by setting up recycling bins for cans and plastic.
It must have been 150 degrees out that day. We went through our cold water quickly and ended up using some of the bottled water they had there. Bummer. Although it was probably nothing compared to what we did next...
Ah well, sometimes if you can't beat 'em, you just have to join 'em.

That shot of the kids in the water just makes me smile. Yesterday in my office we got the bright idea to save paper and print two invoices (half size)per sheet - that was all good and well until we were calling in the visa's and couldn't tell the fives from the threes, or the sixes from the eights. It's the thought that counts!
