written by Jasmin and Mariann

“Sustainability” is the word of the week, as Jasmin takes a trip to Vermont to check out a few Net Zero homes and consider her next move.

written by Jasmin and Mariann

First, we hear how Jasmin’s dogs and cat are adapting to upstate New York after life in LA.  The chihuahuas may or may not hate the rain, but at least they perked up when they were included on a trip to the local drive-in theater, where they met up with Mariann and some friends to watch Slap Shot. Everyone had a …
