Well, Ava woke up from her nap today ready to play and HUNGRY. So I think she may be getting over this icky, icky flu. I was finally able to bring her temp down using only Ibuprofen and she seems like her normal self again. Exploring everything and eating it. Come to think of it- that is probably why she got sick in the first place- eating everything she finds.
Anyways, a friend of mine passed along the following link about trash and recycling in Taiwan. It's pretty amusing because it is so true. We have forced recycling here and it has taken a little while to get used to separating paper from plastic from plastic bottle from just regular garbage. And since we don't have garbage disposals it makes trash duty that much stinkier. We are fortunate to be one of those people who has a trash collector for the building that takes care of actually meeting the garbage man and recycling dudes on the street. If I could ever get a picture of the cardboard man, you'll love it. It's this little old man on a tiny little motorcycle piled 10feet high with cardboard boxes and random plastic bags. The motorcycle sounds like it can barely make it down the city streets. It was a jaw dropping experience the first time we saw him. Anyways, read the link- it's pretty funny (at least for us)

I have been pring for little Ava over the last few days. So glad to hear that she is feeling better. We miss you guys a lot and wish that we lived closer to you to be able to do life with you and help out during crisis. We leave for Germany in a month from today. Excited to be there but sad to say goodbye again. Please tell your family hello and hug the girls for us.

Ok, after reading the trash story, I decided I would have to cut my work schedule in half just to be able to take care of the household "trash". Glad Ava's better, Aunt Dawie is "still" trying to recover from whatever took hold. Take care Debbra
That's a cool article! Sooo true. I might have to steal that one for our blog too!
Wow, that 'modified' recycling program that Jeff started for me in middle school (or was it grade school?), really seems quite minor when compared to yours.
No trash cans, huh? Wouldn't work here!!
Gpa LE says just think of the training you can get while there --- trash/recycler business or fireman with the rope/pulley rescue affair -- hmmmm might look good on some kind of resume???
