Saturday’s adventure
I went looking for an adventure Saturday while some folks were looking at our house (apparently they didn’t like the floorplan :-().
While I was out I thought I’d shoot some stock photos and video…
What a cold, frustrating adventure!
Laundry Love 2009 re-cap
In 2009 we kicked off our Laundry Love effort in May.
It’s been an amazing eight months and every month we walk away with another great memory and story and several new friends.
If nothing else, I love how Laundry Love helps make friends out of strangers.
On average we help 15-20 individuals and families each month, spending anywhere from $60 – $120 a month.
We’ve stuffed over 2500 quarters into laundry machines, helping over 120 individuals and families.
I just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who’s supported our efforts along the way. Looking forward to even more fun in 2010.
And if you’d like to get involved, we’d love to have you come join us the last Saturday of every month, or you can donate online as well.
Thanks again!
What project did you start in 2009 that you’ll continue on with in 2010?
Lessons from the storm
I spent an hour or so last night trying to grab that perfect picture of the approaching storm.
It was quite a site to see the clouds rolling in and the electrical storm happening only a few miles away.
While I didn’t get that “perfect shot” I did get a number of photos I liked a lot.
And I learned a few things along the way as well…

Buy our house video podcast (episode 2)
Well, I’m not sure our first episode of “Buy our house” should be considered a “success.”
We had 18 views on YouTube and 22 views on Vimeo (plus however many viewed it on Facebook).
Either way, we bring you episode 2 (with some odd audio sync problems)! We show off the new dining room table look as well as our painted garage and now emptier master closet. And I don’t want to leave out the great job Laurie did cleaning the oven!
Laundry Love efforts this week
Thanks again to everyone for your continued support of our Laundry Love efforts.
This week is a great week for Laundry Love People in the Dallas area!
On Sunday afternoon, our friends in Waxahachie launched their first Laundry Love effort and I saw this update via Facebook:
Our laundry of love started off slow but after 5 pm we were able to help between 5-10 families with their laundry. It was really awesome watching Austin and Elizabeth meeting people they did not know and offering help.
On Thursday evening, more Laundry Love People will come together and launch a new effort in Mesquite (on Galloway near the hospital).
And on Saturday, we’ll be back in Glenn Heights for our 4th gathering at our normal laundromat! Can’t wait!
