How many of you have had the experience of attending a one-room schoolhouse? Did you learn how to read a paper fold-up map, then learn how to refold the crazy thing? Did you have a telephone in your home with a rotary dial and a party line, with old lady Maud down the road who was on it far more than her share? Texting, FaceTime, emails, cell phones, microwaves, video games, Super Glue, and even pantyhose - plus many more, have come into this world during my lifetime.
After the new wears off, we tend to take those things for granted. They can be a pleasure or a nuisance to me. In my 71 years on this earth, so many things have changed; some for the better and others maybe not.
I'm Grandma Lynn. I'm 71 years young, with a husband of 50 years, 4 children, 11 grandchildren, and 4 great-grands. I have the pleasure of working for the wonderful company, Edens Essentials. I like to refer to my job here as the “Packer and Stacker.” The fancy title would be “Customer and Logistics Supervisor,” but I’m not fancy.
My day at Edens begins at 9:00 AM Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday. My drive to work takes me about 25 minutes through the lovely Ozark Mountains. The first thing I do is turn on my computer and clock in. The orders for the day have been posted, and I check to make sure all the addresses are valid. I copy all the packing slips and then begin packing.
Looking at each address, I delight in the many places people come from and pray that their day is going well. Sending health supplements is a joy. I double-check each order and wrap it carefully. Next, I check and answer emails and return any phone calls that were left as messages. I answer the phone to receive orders and get to talk with people from all over the USA. I enjoy hearing how they are doing.
If you have any questions, just give me a call. Maud won’t be on the party line, and if you can’t reach me, leave a message - I’ll get back to you.
May God bless you,
Grandma Lynn

Love me some Grandma Lynn!!
Grandma Lynn, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the bio and how much I enjoy you being my sister in law. Keep on packing and stacking and reaching out to all those lovely people.
I just wanted to tell Grandma Lynn Hi! and thank you for helping me yesterday. As I mentioned I’m a Grandma Lynn too (I didn’t mention that I’m 72) and after reading your short bio …. I must say that I remember everything you mentioned except I didn’t attend a one-room schoolhouse. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to the whole team there at Edens Essentials, we’re blessed by your company’s products and integrity.
