    I made it through the whole month of April for EcoChallenge, and the best part is I made it to 1000 points--my personal best!  WOW!!  That feels really good.  Thanks for this opportunity to my Team Captain, Betty, and to each teammate.  We did it!!!

    Only 1 more day to go for this EcoChallenge.  It has been an amazing month and I'm so grateful to have been a part of it.   It was not difficult to do the daily challenge.

    I'm pretty happy with my ecochallenge today as I accomplished not just being outdoors more than 30 minutes, but also did the 2nd challenge learning about safe disposal of medicines.  It's a win-win!

    Found a new way to clean up the yard--separate the pine needles from the leaves and other debris; then put the pine straw in our church butterfly garden.  A win-win for the environment!

    I had technical difficulties reporting my EcoChallenge on Tues, Apr 26, however, I had no problem accomplishing them.

    It's been a joy and pleasure to participate in the EcoChallenge this month.  Just posting my thoughts each day earns 5 points.  How easy is that?!

    Today we celebrated Earth Day Sunday at church. Members of Earth Care Committee provided opportunities for the congregation with a plant exchange, prepared letters to politicians, had samples of bamboo items, and weblinks for folks to checkout becoming vegan.  The preachers message was spot-on, too.  All-in-all, a very good morning!

    Comin' down the home stretch with just 7 days left in this ecochallenge.  It has been an amazing and fun challenge this month, and one that I will continue to do.

    My joy today is knowing that I am blessed with the birth of my great-granddaughter.  I also enjoyed being outdoors a lot and fulfilled my daily goal!

    Met and exceeded my goal for today!  Tried coaxing one of my teammates to attempt a goal and record it on line. Hopefully that will work.
