Historical Tidbit:
Four Wheel Carriage Certificate
The 1800s version of a registration for a vehicle was very different than what we have today.
|
Certificate of Ownership for Four Wheel Carriage |
Here is the text:
"No. 602. This is to Certify, That Holmes Sears , of the town of Halifax in the county of Plymouth in the Thirteenth collection district of Massachusetts, had paid the duty of one dollars, for the year to end on the 31st day of December next.
For and upon a four wheel carriage called a wagon owned by him and the harness used therefor.
This certificate to be of no avail any longer than the aforesaid carriage shall be owned by the said Holmes Sears - unless said carriage shall be owned by the said Holmes Sears – unless said certificate shall be produced to a collector, and an entry be made thereon, specifying the name of the then owner of said carriage, and the time when he became possessed thereof.
Given in conformity with the laws of the United States, this fourteenth day of April 1815
Howard Cary
Collector of the Revenue, for the 13th
Collection District of Massachusetts."

Climate Can-Do:
Frugal Beauty
Frugal living is about using & re-using: checking what you have and what's available before buying something new.
Often our beauty products are overlooked when we are thinking about living climate-friendly.
Using what you have and being mindful about your purchases is good for your wallet and for the planet.
Our Climate Can-Do Articles from Jacquie focus on life changes that we can make, which will help mitigate the environmental changes of our climate emergency. Our goal is to keep the Earth's temperature from rising 1.5˚ C to lessen the sea rise. However, there are things we can do.

Beauty of Frugality
The beauty of frugality is we:
- Save money - not spending on things we do not need, which increases our quality of life.
- Protect the planet - breaking the chain of overwhelming consumption of our natural resources.
“I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.”
~ John Stuart Mill
“Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things.”
~ Elise Boulding
“Being frugal doesn’t mean slashing your spending or depriving yourself of things that you enjoy. It means knowing the value of a dollar and making every effort to spend it wisely.”
~ Frank Sonnenberg
|
It is beautiful, being frugal. I see you glowing even now. : ) ~ Jacquie |
