Fall Family Day


Its time for our annual Fall Family Day! This Saturday Oct. 27 from 10am-2pm. The free farm animal petting zoo is coming back, plus free face-painting, free food samples, and a free gourd for kids to decorate! Looks like a pattern developing. Yep, its basically a bunch of free stuff for our customers! Its our way of saying thanks for making 2012 our best yet, and to remind everyone about our unique gifts as we approach the holiday seasons. See you there!

Very cool experiment

I was listening to a lecture from Wayne Deyer that was taped live and he had a member of the audience come up and hold out one hand, fist clenched, elbow straight.  He then pushed down on the hand with his finger to test strength.  Then he gave her an envelope to hold to her chest and tested the strength again and it was weaker.  Then he gave her another envolope to hold to her chest and tested the strength and it was strong again.  In the first envelop was equal, the second contained vit C.  I thought NO WAY.  He said another lecturer did this with 1000 audience members and 100% of the time this was the result.  So I tried it on John and got the same results over and over.  This morning I had him try my strength with jelly beans vs Vermont PB and even though I tried like heck to defy this, I could not hold my arm up with the jelly beans.

Please try this and tell me what happens!  I want to know if perhaps subconsciously I'm making it happen...I am a scientist at heart - my first degree was human biology - and I am floored by this.  It doesn't make logical sense to me!

Happy Wednesday!
