At least we still have our garbage bailout!

Amongst the economic turmoil that is happening in the world I am thankful to still qualify for one bailout package, our city hauls away huge piles of garbage from us twice a year! Jake and I spent 9 hours mowing our lawn and raking leaves (that's right leaves that were covered with snow for the last 5 months!), clearing out our garden, and taking all of our renovation mess out to the street. And I have the sunburned face to prove it! We always have the largest pile of garbage in the neighborhood and this year even added a mattress, classy!
