Hi Friends,

Congratulations! We all made it through another year. Now let’s prepare to tackle 2010.

Reminder!

We are OPEN TOMORROW at Green Dragon, New Years Day, from 9 am until about 8 or 8:30 pm.

Hallelujah Hive will NOT BE OPEN NEXT WEEK at Green Dragon & Hometown Farmers Markets. We will be closed on January 6 & January 8. The Markets will be open, but our stores will be closed just for that week.

Look for us to re-open all the earlier the following week, January 13 at Hometown and January 15 at Green Dragon.

With the exception of next week, we are open year round at both Markets.

At the Hometown Farmers Market on Wednesday, we were talking to a fellow named Willard. Willard walks past our shop once or twice a month. He is a very friendly man who likes to socialize.

During our conversation Wednesday morning, we asked him how old he is, since he looks up in years, like around his mid  80’s. He told us he is 96.

Willard still drives to the market often. His eyes are still sharp and he can read without reading glasses. He speaks at least two languages and is sharp as a tack. He spent 5 years in the coal mines and over 38 years as a machinist. We asked Willard his secret to such great health all these years.

Willard doesn’t believe in eating sugar. He says it is bad for the body. He eats some nuts every morning with his cereal. He does not eat after dinner. Occasionally he has a half glass of red wine that is not sweet. By the way, his attitude was and is very positive. He pointed to the sky more than once to his Savior who he says takes care of him.

I hope we see him at the market for a long time to come.

Meanwhile, Jack LaLanne is now 95. He says he still works out 2 hours a day. A half hour of that is swimming.

These days you’ll find him and his wife driving a late model red corvette.

Nutrition Classes!

January 16th Saturday at 2 pm. It will be held at the Blue House on the property of Back Mountain Harvest Assembly of God Church on Carverton road, Trucksville, off of route 309. According to how many show up, we plan to hold these classes once a month.

January 17th Sunday at 9:45am. The location is the same as the 16th. These classes will be held weekly.

NOTE:

The classes are free. We will be discussing topics such as natural weight loss, natural prevention and healing of disease, the bees and their fountain of youth products, the great health patriarchs, what we should and shouldn’t be putting into our bodies and much much more.

Please let us know if you are interested in the classes or just show up. It is nice to know who might be coming though. For more info you can call us at 570-401-1353 or 570-868-8172. Ask for Mark or Dorothy.

If you live in the Pittsburgh area, I will be speaking at the Methodist church in Monroeville on Sunday evening January 31st. There will also be a potluck dinner.

Everyone, please have a wonderful, blessed New Year, and I hope to see you at the markets,

Mark
