I gave the yard hopefully a last mow for the year and my son's yard one last mow. I have started Christmas decorating early. I have most of the indoor done and did the outside over the weekend because it will turn cooler and wet later this week. I have a little shopping left, getting the tree up and decorated, Christmas…

Lanette I used Kerigold which is a grass fed cheese from Ireland. It can be found at Target and a grocery store. I do prefer the Farmer's market cheese I buy, but they will not be back now until the end of January. Still the store bought cheese was good in my soup. I am going to make it again for lunch today. Our weather…

Just made a cheese soup with broth I made, quarter cup grass fed half and half, an ounce of grass fed cheese, fresh basil, dill, parsley, pepper. I didn't add any thickener. It was delicious and filling. I had an apple with cinnamon and a small dark chocolate square for dessert. I followed the suggestion to smell your food…

Heather When I was teaching I would have an occasional student that wore a weighted vest. The idea behind it was it helped to ground them. I think it did help. Breathing exercises can also help with racing thoughts. Grounding exercises are also helpful. (Going outside barefoot and walking in the grass...working in a…

Some of the last of my flowers for this season!

Pip Great picture of your with your lovely new quilt. Reading No Grain No Pain. by Dr. Peter Osborne. I fill the niche for grains with more veggies. Last night DS wanted to go Chinese. I did have half stir fried veggies and half of one of their entrees that was not breaded and fried. Still a half pound this morning most…

Rebecca I cut back on how often I wash my hair. I only wash it once a week with a mild shampoo unless I do cleaning or yard work that exposes me to dust or dirt. I gently brush it with a wide tooth comb or boar bristle brush. I know my hair is more fragile than it was twenty years ago. If I go in a chlorinated pool I wear…

Lisa We are getting rain here too! No storms though! We need the rain we have had little rain in September and October! I went to a wonderful concert yesterday. A fellow choir member is in another singing group where you need to tryout to be part of it. Gorgeous music. Weight is holding steady 154-155 morning and 156-157…

LanetteWe had snow flurries and it was gone quickly. Still it reminds me to get that yard work done because winter is coming. I am having the gutters cleaned out today! I ran out of candy about 7:30. With the candy I bought that meant about 60. I said this year I turn off lights at 8 or when candy runs out. I no longer eat…

Happy Halloween!

AnnieHeather reminded me I go to apps on my phone then gallery to find my pictures. The pictures are sorted by dates so what I am looking for is often easy to find. Then I press the share button looks sort of like less than sign at the bottom. That is the share button. Then I sent it to Gmail. Hope this helps. Again…

(((M0)))Sometimes the trauma attached to others in your case that young man and his family is overwhelming. I agree I would not be alone while treating him he and his family are too distraught to be rational. He more than likely will end up in some kind of court system which will only aggregate the trauma. Prayers for you…

One of the last bouquets of the summer.

Barbara my to do pile goes down then something new gets added. LOL I did get the two big paperwork projects I needed to do. One required a letter and the other a form with documentation. Fortunately I had the documentation thanks to putting one piece in an e-mail that was easy to look up and the other piece in a box I put…

(((Annie))) Beth good to see you!

Lanette That is pretty much my diet except for the liver. I still need to try the organic liver I buy at the farmer's market for DrewB.

From a walk...they used this as a backdrop for senior pictures.

I go to the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning. I am going to miss the fresh veggies I get at the Farmers Market. We had a late freeze so that has helped keep a greater selection. I am buying brussels sprouts , apples, squash. I also learned today I need to water my strawberries more because of the lack of rain lately.…

MoHave you tried the machine that cleans your CPAP machine nightly. I am glad you discovered the source of the mold and are working to correct the problem! Annie have you tried eliminating gluten. Unfortunately most American breads are made with the hybrid wheat which has more gluten than the bread of 100 years ago. It is…

Annie The doctor is suggesting fasting to give your digestive system a chance to recover. I wish I had a magic wand to elevate all the stress you are under. Stress can give the wrong types of bacteria a chance to grow and cause you problems. I am trying out STOP technique I just learned about. When faced with a problem…

A picture from the concert DS and I attended on our trip. It does not capture the sun shining through the stain glass. We were up in the balcony. It was a treat!

Mo fermented foods include...Kombucha, yogurt with no sugar (I make mine staring with a good brand like Stonyfield organic whole milk), if milk intolerant there are those made with coconut milk, sauerkraut found in refrigerated section of grocery store, Kimchi fermented cabage. also found in refrigerated section. Natto…

LisaThank you!

Some Halloween fun from the house tour DS and I went on our recent trip!

Kim what a great trip! You look so happy! Tracey I feel great! Whenever I am tempted by foods I know are not good for me cakes, cookies, chocolates /ice cream that have emulsifiers, fried foods, high salt foods... I just STOP and think it is not worth giving up how good I feel for my age! That is my will power! I also…
