    Spent my mother's day shopping for supplies for my new house. We had much fun @ Second Use in Tacoma looking through all the used house/building parts -  knowing I'm giving a discarded object new life, keeping it out of the land-fill and not buying cheap stuff made in China!!

    Found a bathroom vanity and matching shelf with a towel rack, heavy-duty knobs/drawer pulls for said objects. and other bathroom accessories.

    Watched the Plastic Ocean on Tuesday night at the Museum. If that isn't enough to curb plastic usage, I don't know what is.
