Meals and Manners Monday: Eating outdoors!
We are in the season of entertaining outdoors, whether it is at a picnic or entertaining on the deck this can be a highlight of summer with memories and great food. Make sure and enjoy your local parks with a picnic and a simple meal out doors.

- Find a shady spot for outdoor eating so food stays out of the sun. Use that sun umbrella and place it where it will cover most of the eating area.

- Guests will need to be prepared if you are eating indoors our out. Make sure that they are comfortable with plenty of shade and drink.

- Some herb plants like basil and rosemary are known to keep insects away so decorate away with small pots of herbs.

- Eat your meal within 2 hours of arriving so to avoid food contamination or food borne illnesses

-If in a local park , keep it cleaner than you found it.

- If using a local park there may be a first come sign up.at a local park office. Make sure you have a plan if the spot is already reserved. You may just want to spread out on a blanket.

- Try using reusable plates and cups ( especially if you are not traveling far) to help keep our earth clean. If you are traveling it makes sense to use disposables and just keep the space clean.

Have a great summer!! Let me know your favorite place to eat outdoors. ...

Meals and Manners Monday: How do I reduce my screen time?
Smart phones have invaded in our lives in more ways than we could have imagined.
I had an incident happen to me just recently at a stage performance where someone in the audience was having a conversation on her phone during the performance.( We had just been informed from the theater director to put our phones on silent) The people around here were very disgruntled and tempers were escalating.. How do we reduce this incident?

-We need real face to face time. Loneliness is at an all time high. The theater may not be the time or place to connect just call them later.

- Commit to standing in line, or during meals as human time and refrain from using your phone.

- Commit to a screen free bedroom. No phones or tablets used in the bedroom. Reach for a book or magazine instead.

- Ask yourself if you didn't have a phone," Would this be a time I would really answer the phone or make a call ?

- Pursue health interests such as hiking in nature, biking, talking a walk and refrain from using your phone.

- Show and clarify your values. What do you want your life to be about? Consider whether answering your phone and the time and place is moving you in the right direction. ...
