The updated ones don't look bad on homes. I really wish we could get them here but our HOA is a PITA!

I admire that a lot! <br /><br />We recycle, and bring our bags to the store when we shop. It's not much, but we are working on what we can now. We also donate items to goodwill often, instead of tossing them in the garbage.

I can't imagine how much they would help someone that may need t hrm more than just your average person. A co-worker of mine volunteered to raise a service dog for several months but it's time for him to go to serious training. Would that ever interest You? I could never do that because it would be heartwrenching to give them up when the time comes to an end!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-18819049769338700432017-06-16T10:35:03.996-04:002017-06-16T10:35:03.996-04:00Guiding eyes for the blind raises labradors (and s...Guiding eyes for the blind raises labradors (and sometimes shepherds) and trains them to be guide dogs for the blind. My dog has enhanced my life so much so I can only imagine how much having one could enhance the lives of someone who is blind or disabled. Plus, I've always had a fear of going blind.<br /><br />Of course we do donate to other causes like wounded warrior, united way, etc. But the two I mentioned above are the ones I am dedicated too.

My causes that i've been dedicated to helping over the years are Guiding eyes for the blind and the Canine Cancer association. In another life I would have liked to work in Cancer research.

We actually just replaced all our appliances and have energy efficient lighting. We added a ton of insulation into our garage last year and this year we did start composting. I can send you what we picked up (it's a small container that is on our back patio)--super easy! I love trying to be as efficient as I can. Our world certainly needs help especially because it is filled with people that have a mindset that their actions have no consequence!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177308883627646456noreply@blogger.com
