In Gueph for earth day

I am in Guelph today , arrived yesterday after a Rotary conference in Sarnia. Last evenng was "Earth day" . I hope all of you participated .
The kid's were funny and while they lit the candles were complaining that they did not have any "travellers"here ...They are used to our house and all of the travellers.For those of you that do not know "travellers" are those candle holders with the handles that you use to travel from room to room.Not sure if that is the correct name but it is in our house.
Zoe exclaimed ...ths is just like Grandma's house ...no lights
This morning she regailed me about Earth day and why we do it . Zoe is our Hippie child and that makes this Grandma very happy..
She told me that her next project in the spring is to go to the walking trail behind her house and they will be picking up garbage that people have left on the trail..Zoe is  7 so we can all take a lesson from her huh?
Earth day is a wonderful reminder that we can "all" shut off
our lights and use candles once in a while . Saves electricity and reminds us that this was the norm not that long ago. People ask me all of the time if living without electrical lighting is weird or bothersome...my answer is no it is calming on the eyes and we can do almost everything that we could do in artificial light . Although I cannot do fine sewing ...but I can't do that sometimes in full daylight...I will have to do a post on eye glasses soon
Until next time ,I have Grandchildren to play with
