Thursday April 7th, 2011 Today Paige and I got together to continue her 52 weeks of giving. It never ceases to amaze me how excited she gets to go and do these events. She really loves going out and helping people and her community!! The weather seemed to be holding out for us so we decided to go to the Hamilton Beach strip (by hutches-- oh ya!!) to clean up some of the litter that had been uncovered by the melting snow. With Earth Day just around the corner it seemed fitting. We were surprised at how much garbage was on the beach considering that the weather hasn't even been nice yet. We figured that some of it had washed in from the water and that some had just been moved and uncovered by the winter. The weather down at the beach was not so nice to say the least - super windy and chilly. Not the best for this event. However, Paige..in what seems to be true Paige fashion...totally trooped it out with me to gather enough litter to fill one black garbage bag. Can you believe that it only took us 20minutes to do it?? How sad is that?? Not sad for us..we rocked it..but sad for the environment!! And of course...after our lightening speed garbage pick up...we needed to warm up with some classic Hutches fries and icecream!! Perfect way to end a hards days work I say!!! Good Job Paige!!!Jo
