The Future!

Okay, this one is going to require a bit more work. Please illustrate for us what you think your future back yard will look like. You can send the drawing via email if you have a scanner: frontporchtimemachine@gmail.com Or you can email us requesting an address or fax number where you can send your drawing...if you don't have access to a scanner. OR - you can just find an image on the internets which best conveys your future back yard - if you don't have the time to draw it.




Thanks!!!

12,000 Napkins Later...

Something that's been on my mind recently is the fact that anytime I go anywhere that sells prepared food products, I leave with a bag of food product, and 11 napkins. This is crazy. So, I propose that we all ask those who are mitting these handfulls of napkins into our muffin or sandwich bags to please halt after just one. I dare us. I triple dog dare us!
