Sales, Great Newsletter, etc....

I love the days when I wake up in the morning and go outside and "commune" with my garden. I don't have the best garden around, by any stretch of the imagination -- as a matter of fact, I am having quite a few problems with it this year. I have been told that I overwater, so this year I am not putting on as much and I think I went the opposite direction. At any rate, I digress... I love early morning -- with the birds chirping and the sun just coming up and my "alone time" -- I love my quiet time. Hope you make time for "me time" often -- it refreshes the soul!

FYI: I receive a newsletter that I absolutely love. It is usually chock full of great ideas, recipes, special classes, special bulk orders, etc. I have been working with the editor of that newsletter, Anitra Kerr (I am sure you have heard me talk about her OFTEN -- I just love the information she puts out there for us) and she has figured out how to give me a link to her newsletters. So, I am going to post it here: http://www.madmimi.com/promotions/16196702861417/raw and then you will see this week's newsletter.

If you are interested in receiving this newsletter every time it is published, please send me a quick e-mail to susan_wheatley@comcast.net and I will forward your e-mail to Anitra. I don't want to send a bulk e-mail list to her in case some of you do not want to be on this listing. You will love her newsletters (as well as her website at http://www.simplylivingsmart.net/). Lots of free instructional videos, etc. -- I subscribe to their site and get trained in classes all year long. I LOVE THIS SITE -- you have heard me say it before and you will hear me say it again. So, go -- check it out!

Also, putting a feeler out there for anyone who would like to get together for another basic breadmaking class OR a Mix a Meal class, where we put together quick and easy mixes that will shorten your time in the kitchen. I am putting together a bulk order (see below for items on sale) of Powdered Dairy products -- using those products, we can make a lot of wonderful "mixes" that help you rotate your food storage, yet eat VERY well--without spending money for the prepackaged mixes. Notice the Mix a Meal cookbook -- a must-have! FABULOUS!

Powdered Eggs (100 per can) = $18.70
Powdered Milk - Country Cream (5 gallons per can) = $13.30
Powdered Cheddar Cheese (great for Mac and Cheese) = $16.20
Powdered Butter = $16.30
Mix a Meal Cookbook = $11.95

If you are interested and have not already signed up, send me an e-mail at susan_wheatley@comcast.net with your order NO LATER THAN AUGUST 15th!

Take care -- have a great week and I'll be posting grocery sales on Tuesday! See you back here again then!
