Watch Out Oscar!

The Oscar I'm referring to is the grouch in the garbage can. My kids decided, on their own, to make a difference on our road. In turn it touched more people than we can know.
On Thanksgiving, while taking a walk with Mom, they decided that there was just too much garbage on the side of the road. Unfortunately, with the college around the bend, the kids who go there litter often.
While Jim and I went to the gym (haha--Jim/gym) my parents took the kids up and down Stony Fort Road collecting garbage, and recycling.
The kids did an amazing job. A woman stopped to tell them that they inspired her to do the same with her children. I was so proud of them. They are becoming more conscious of the choices we make, and how they can affect others.
I think they were pretty proud of themselves as well :)
