This is a Video Door Phone. Not just a video doorbell but a video intercom. This works great day and night with wonderful picture quality. This is not wireless, it’s definitely not a replacement for our old doorbell. This door phone required…

Here, we explore a compressed history of bedding and the mattress. The Early Years In the Neolithic period 10,000 years ago, primitive beds and mattresses were used. The beds were actually raised in order to stay off of the ground and avoid pests. These mattresses were made of leaves, straw, and grass and covered by animal skins.  The Romans While Persians used water-filled goat skins to sleep on and Egyptians utilized palm leaves in heaps, the Romans designed mattresses out of bags of cloth.

    I love kids books. Yes, they are usually cute stories with great lessons. They have fun illustrations; but my real motive is the fact that 4-year-old Alice cuddles up on my lap for story time. Story time is anytime during the day and usually for no apparent reason. Truthfully, Alice would rather hear a story than watch television (seriously, how amazing is that?) Our newest book is titled Hypnosis Harry. This story written by Catherine Bailey and illustrated by Sarita Rich has sparked Alice’s imagination. We now have a new game Hypnotize The NaNa. First, let me tell you about Hypnosis Harry then you’ll be able to guess the jest…
