I’ve been taking a look at how to save some money lately. In these shaky times, I think it is important to save every penny we can!
We recently received the electric bill, and that was motivation for me to start looking at ways to reduce our electricity usage, even now without the added extra expense of running a central air conditioner.
First thing I’m going to do is get a thermal insulated blanket for the water heater. Our family takes a lot of showers, and we run the dishwasher every day (yes, it is full when we run it, and we have it set on air drying!) and we do a LOT of laundry, so I think insulating the water heater better will help reduce our electricity usage. I’ve read that doing this will save 4-9% in water heating costs!

Let’s go!
There’s so much to say, yet I’m not sure where to start.
I’m looking forward to sharing little bits of information thatI’ve found helpful, and little glimpses into my life and the people who I care for and care about. But then, I still need a little privacy and I respect the rights of others to their privacy, too.

I’ve noticed things on other people’s websites and blogs that I might like incorporate into mine, especially the MeMe’s and photos. I’ll have to see what I can come up with.

Welcome to my new web site. I am glad to finally have my own little piece of the web to share my thoughts, ideas, feelings, rants and raves. Special thanks to Alice for giving me the poking and prodding to finally get on with it!
