For the last couple months, H has been recycling paper. For some reason, television stations go through a lot of paper… So I take it and bring H to the paper recycling facility about every other week. I think we have done it 6 times now.

She unloads it, and then she goes to the window and collects her reward.. She will typically make about $5 each trip. Not worth all the work, IMHO.

But it is a nice ride with just us two and we get to get into a different part of town, one that we normally wouldn’t have a reason to go to. There is something special about the trip. One added bonus is that twice now, someone has dumped off a bunch of books in the recycle pile.. We have had a ball going through them. One time it was all children’s books! They let us take any that we wanted. (I sold a ducati service manual I pulled from the pile for $23 on eBay.. I love getting money for garbage on eBay)
Anyway, its a good thing to recycle, and even better to do something honorable with your children, so I guess we will keep it up!

Did you notice the picture in the cell phone window? It’s a candy store! Wow, it brought back memories. Its not too far way from us. (about a 1.5 miles) I wish them the best of business.
