Exchanges, barter

I am thinking of ways to set up "exchanges" here in Appleton. Kind of like a community bulletin board, where people can post needs and wants, for example "looking for someone to change the oil in my car, will provide all necessary equipment and oil, in exchange for homemade bread." Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or on bartering?

Autumn day at the beach

What a gorgeous weekend! We had high 70s both days, perfect slight breeze. We decided to take a quick trip down to Madison to enjoy one last day on the beach before colder weather sets in for good. Perfect day, the sand wasn't too hot (in July it was so hot it blistered my feet) but the water, brrrrr. Just a few ladybugs flying around, so we weren't attacked by mosquitoes either. We picnicked on the beach, read magazines, snoozed and had a blast.
