I'm sharing this now because my moment happened during the holidays -- just the time when you don't want a wake-up call! In any case, it happened, and it reminded me that it's so easy to get sloppy, especially since we're sur- rounded by abundance and a seeming endless supply of everything. It was the morning of our big annu- al holiday dinner party. I had limited time and many things to do. On my list was "clean patio chairs" because we would undoubtedly need them for additional seating. I wanted them sparkling clean and presentable. I grabbed my supplies only to discover I had just one roll of paper towels, and it was partly used. This would be a three- roll job at the very least. I don't count out one or two towels; I just spin off a big wad. I want to tell you about a frugality Normally, this shortage would have sent me on a quick trip to the store. But, as you may recall from previous columns, I do not have a car. By choice, I share a car with my husband. On this day, he was at the office and I wasn't. I did not have time to walk to the nearest store, so I decided to go with the only choice I had at the moment: Make do. three towels. I scrubbed and cleaned. Then instead of tossing those wet towels in the trash (my first incli- nation), I opened them up, straightened them out and cleaned some more. At first, I was irritated that I had to do this, but it didn't take long to turn this into a game to see how long I could make the towels last. I worked my way through the chairs and ended up with clean white chairs and towels on the roll to spare. I was downright proud of myself. My experience with the paper tow- els made me think: What if I I carefully tore off Want to save money on food, get the freshest produce possible, get exercise with a purpose, learn about agricul- ture, support local farmers, enjoy the outdoors and have fun with your friends and family? Visit a farm or orchard where, no matter what you call it, you can pick-your-own, PYO or U-Pick With the increasing interest in consuming fresh, organic, non-genetically engineered, locally grown food, U-Pick locations are becoming ever more popular.

It's good for the Earth, for your attitude and good for your wallet, too. Local U-Pick locations sought for listing for making pies or jam, freezing, canning or drying. At some of these locations, when produce is in season, school buses are lined up participating in U-Pick field trips. Tehama Together, as part of its Food Policy Council, is spearheading an effort to identify and promote Tehama County U-Pick locations. Information has been obtained regarding several U-Pick locations, but efforts are being undertaken to identify addi- tional sites. Within the next month, after additional produce is added to the inventory, Tehama County's U-Pick loca- tions will be promoted for area families to enjoy.

What if this was the only tube of toothpaste for the foreseeable future? Could I make it last? Would I throw away half a pot of cold coffee or freeze it in ice cube trays for later? Would I use the tea bag to make two or three cups of tea, as if tea were in short supply? How long could I make other things last -- items that seem so ordinary and available it's easy to be wasteful? How long could you make things last -- not because you
