AMERICANA 101...NUMBER please

Telephone booth sign

One on every corner...

pre-cell phone era

The building we occupy was once a telephone central.

When you dialied 0 an operator would

say "number please" and you would tell her the

number to dial for you.

probably 1920's

I remember calling it in the 1950's

talk. talk. talk.

Usually there was a phone in every kitchen

with a VERY LONG STRETCHY CORD

PRIVACY

right!

1960's-70's aqua phones

(yes, we have an aqua and black one in the shop)

You could call anywhere in the world.

Only it had some hefty fees per minute.

With the use of cell phones and texting,

don't you feel like at times our heads are like one

big telephone?

Nice Halloween costume idea though.

Number pillows and wood signs

Americana...freedom of speech

What her customers and I have been waiting for!

Robyn has tried and tested:

8 week menu planner for a family of 4

based on her 12 steps to whole foods book.

Costing $100.00 weekly for your healthy food budget.

proof you CAN AFFORD to eat healthy

AND

have all the BENEFITS of health.

She calls it Dummy proof

means it should be easy to do and follow.

I find eating healthy is much easier

than not, mainly there is less ingredients in healthy.

Robyns life mission:

to take back from my arch enemy

the Standard American diet.

If you click on her website from the sidebar here

it will take you to her website where you can read all the details (click on shop to find book for now it's in it's launch phase) and receive a $5.00 off till the end of July.

Also...Robyn has been discussing on her blog about

hormones and thyroid

you will find this very informative.

Although I have done synthetic and bio-identical

hormones, I do not believe in them, I believe in

natural medicine.

http://www.yehcenter.com/

Wish I knew about natural medicine before

taking synthetics for 20 years.

We need to be educated as to what we put

into our bodies.

(this is my opinion according to my study).

I read and follow the book 12 steps to whole foods

and HIGHLY recommend it.

Robyn is Utah based, I bet you'll have her

book in ONE DAY!

I'm ordering mine now.

AMERICA

where we have the freedom to be what we want to be

and live how we want to live.

And

to own our own business' if we chose.

AMERICANA 101...Celebrate the 4th of July!

We did our july 4th celebration last evening above the

Eagle wood golf course in Bountiful.

It's a city get together for fun and fireworks

that did not have to be cancelled due to

extreme fire conditions in Utah.

It was one of the most beautiful summer nights I have experienced, the weather was definitly on our side for barbeque with food to the max, family, swimming and the best fireworks, we're so high we are eye level with them...we didn't want to leave, so we stayed a long long time...I mean, the grandchildren were SO cute and adorable!

You understand celebrations through a childs eye

doesn't get much better, does it?

Thank you thoughtful Shellie and Steve, you had your

home looking just stunning and patriotic!
