Surprise 70th birthday lunch honors June Shanklin

June Shanklin was genuinely surprised when some her co-workers were joined by her husband, Bob, and their daughter, Barbara Hancock, to celebrate her 70th anniversary with cake and a catered lunch.

During the morning, Mrs. Shanklin had confided to one of her co-workers that she had noticed that no one had remembered her birthday, which was March 18. "This is the first time in all the years I've worked here that has happened," she said, with just a bit of disappointment showing.

GIGO Diary, for 2008-03-18: Tree planting day

Trees are energy savers. Shade from two large trees on west side of house can save up to 30% of typical residence's air conditioning bill

By Barbara Armitage

GIGO Diary of a Recycler: Everyday we are going to follow my garbage to see just how close I can come to eliminating my contribution the landfills in America Today is Tuesday March 18, 2008. Posted 2008-03-19

I'm really getting to old for this stuff. Today we planted the 4 trees that we bought yesterday they weren't all that big, the 7 gallon pot size but the way I figure it the ratio is about 2 Tylenol:1 tree.

Our house has a southern exposure and no front porch so the sun beats down on us unmercifully in the summer. We planted 3 Autumn Blaze Maples out front and one on the west side. I choose this particular tree because it is very fast growing, lives a long time and turns a beautiful red color in the fall.
