I hate the fact that I missed a day - my brand new computer - an ACER - made in China - decided to not work. This is God's way of telling me to stop using stuff not made here :). Is there even a US company that makes computers? That is next weeks mission... Thanks to Ramesh from Acer tech support for getting me back on track.
So we had a nice weekend of not too many encounters with non US products. Why?? Because all we did with family was EAT!! This cannot be the whole summer or I will be trying to find Made in USA fat clothes soon.
Went to a carnival in town dedicated to Stars and Strips and saw a wonderful fireworks display. Vendors sold local goods but most of the prize items were not from here.
Today my awesome sister in law came over with gifts for my girls from Disney World. I wondered before I checked...maybe not from here but would it be from THERE. Yes, it was. Wow, even good old American Disney has bit the China bug.
Well one week in and it has been hard but enlightening. I love that everyone that sees what I am doing will send me pictures of things that they find made here. I am making people aware of where things are made and if that is the only thing I achieve with this, then I am happy.
Next week will start links and websites of places that do sell only American products. That sounds like fun and I hope I can finally start shopping again!!
Till then...
