PATTY'S NEIGHBORHOOD
Welcome to my Neighborhood
This is a friendly place to visit. I will share tips, ideas, recipes and showcase People I know. Rondah Summers – Consultant Juice Plus+ Most people still do not eat enough fruits and vegetables every day. So, Rondah recommends: “The next best thing to eating fruits and vegetables” is Juice Plus+
Visit her website and see for yourself. http://www.jpluswellness.com OTHER COOL THINGS AND TIPS This recipe I saw in a magazine "Diane - The Curves Magazine". In my next newsletter that I am working on, I talk about comfort foods and apples. So, when I saw this recipe, I had to put it on my website. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet it will really be good!
I send out quarterly newsletters. In these newsletters are more tips for cooking, cleaning, safety, and other cool stuff.

PEOPLE PATTY KNOWS
Frank Horveath, owner of The Handyman Express
I was looking for someone to paint the inside of my townhouse, and other miscellaneous things to fix. Frank and I work for the same company. He had posted an ad on the employee ad website. I called him, he came over and I went over my list of things I needed done. He spent a whole day painting, and did an outstanding job. Check out his website. You will not be disappointed!
His website is http://www.handymanexpress.com
A short time ago, I decided to get rid of some stuff I had. I remembered about this website "freecycle.org" and posted my ad. Before I was able to turn around just once, I received emails wanting what I had posted. If you are looking for something, or have something to get rid of, this is the perfect place to do it! It's free and no money is exchanged. Pretty Cool I Think!!!!
