The Tip is 'Teach Grandchildren' One day, while I was on the Made In America Secrets site my granddaughter noticed and asked me what I was doing. I told her about the Big Secret and as I explained, she began to ask me more questions. After several minutes she left my office to play with her little sister. Months had gone by and until recently, I had forgotten about that moment. She was visiting again and I was talking to her about buying a custom printed T-Shirt. She immediately told me about a website that I could use to buy one. Wow I thought, she is only eight years old and already teaching me. The most amazing thing then happened, she said "Pops they sell Made In America T-Shirts". Thanks to her I purchased six custom Made In USA T-Shirts. Her name is Britton, she understands the Big Secret and I love it when she tells me her Little Secrets! Now she is ten and writing a screenplay called Mertastic. It is a story about a mermaid. Recently, she was visiting our house again and using my computer. She called me to come into my office and of course I came to her because that is what grandparents love to do. One of the reasons I love to be with her is because it is always interesting to see what she is up to. This time, she needed a mermaid tail for her movie, so we began to look around using Google. Her mother is a talented seamstress and will make the tail so we were looking for fabric that would be satisfy my granddaughter's vision of her mermaid tail. Once again we began to talk about Made in America and therefore started to investigate the country of origin of the fabrics she was considering. Because of that experience Made in USA fabric is now one of Made in America Secrets products. Thank you, Britton. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Grampas Garden My decision to start Grampa's Garden in 1993 came from my extreme interest in health, my background in Physical Therapy and a hearts desire to help heal the world more naturally. It all began in my home and all that encompasses I truly had such a passion that nothing was able to stop me. I simply had that full belief that I was on the right path so the effort came easily. The hours were intense but so rewarding, I did not notice. Being single helped with keeping up this pace. No loan money the first years also made this trek quite vigorous. Some weeks we would do up to 8 shows to get the products out there. I started with 3 Hot and Cold Packs: The Lumbar, Joint Neck and Teddy Pac. One herbal skin and massage oil and a Peppermint Bees Wax Lip Balm. So let's fast forward!
