Getting a deposit back...

This past Friday we hosted our annual church Christmas open house. It was a good time, and we had a good turnout. It was tiring, and we realized that for next year we are going to do it earlier in December instead of the week before Christmas. Our week was entirely too busy!

Well, we had many soda cans and beer bottles from the party. We would normally recycle such items, but since we had such a large quantity I thought I would be earthy and resourceful and take them down the street and get our deposit back. Kyle laughed and shook his head at me, but I was determined.

I had never done such a thing before. I was quite proud of myself, and walked out of the grocery store with a whole $3.60 - enough for my girlie coffee drink!
