WHY THIS WEBSITE?
Because we want to see more of the above. And so do you. Take a look at your letters. Let's remember American business- large and more, out there struggling. Seventy percent of jobs in this country are provided by small business. Let's help.
How did we start? My husband and I, both of us retired, went shopping in August of 2007 for a gift for our young grandson. We could not find one shirt made in America. We decided to try to do something about it. So here is the report.You can't pay to get on it but if it's made in America, send the details.
There are lots of families represented here, including ours, who are keeping factory doors open despite the tough competition. Could they save on labor costs having the products made in a foreign country? Yes. But they choose not to. They want to see more Now Hiring signs along the highways of America, providing jobs for all of us.
One thing we feel sure of. There's inspiration to be found on the websites we send you to, in the stories you will read of these entrepreneurs, how they started, 100 years ago, or a month ago, taking risks, the evolution of their products, their struggles, their dedication, building something out of nothing.
They are keeping us working.
Mortgages paid.
Food on the table.
We need to buy their products.
We need to keep America strong. Remember what JFK told us. "Don't ask what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country"

Some of you want to know more about us, so here it is: our grandchildren range in age from 14 to 23, girls and boys, two working to in college, one in high school. WG and I, with our Big Dog, live in a rural area of New England, less than a mile from where the July 24, 2008 tornado touched down.
Although we used to be very social people, always having company or visiting, now we live more like recluses, with health issues keeping us occupied. In winter, WG does things like making cold frames, which you can see elsewhere on this site, running the snow blower, filling the generator during power failures.
I keep a portion of each day for walks in the woods with the big dog, keeping this website going, reading, gardening, cooking, and a weekly breakfast with a friend at a nearby local eatery.
The big dog will be lonesome and so will we when the children and grandchildren leave after the visits they organize, which is getting harder as the grandchildren grow up.
So there you have it, a peek into our lives. More to come, when time permits. Finding stuff for you to buy, doesn't permit me much.

Despite globalization, we want to keep American jobs. We want to keep America healthy and the environment safe, with global warming something we need to evaluate.To paraphrase JFK, don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. So, do it. Buy American. Find start up American companies, like Southern Star Brewing in Texas, and tell us about them so we can help by listing them.

If you want to keep American factory doors open, you are going to have to really make an effort to buy American. Remember that you and I receive higher wages than workers in foreign countries. Their products therefore are cheaper. If you buy foreign products, our manufacturers cannot stay in business. You are hurting yourself or your neighbor or your family, children, grandchildren. It’s a simple as that. To help you, THIS SHOPPING REPORT is continuously being updated. We have fishing gear and greeting cards from Colorado, a rocking chair from Florida, dog beds, bird feeders and crafts, useful and beautiful from great American companies large and small, taking huge risks, and proudly attaching their labels, with emphasis on quality, Made in the USA. So here you have it, great shopping. And don't forget to check out Whats New so you can easily see the latest additions, including fishing tips and recipes, elegant, expensive, exotic, and some affordable, indisputably delicious and tested which means no time wasted and money wasted in recipes that don't work. So when you have finished shopping, put the kids to bed, you can take a walk with us, enjoy beautiful New England, winter and summer, roses, daylillies, clematis, snow and ice.
