Going Raw

A broccoli salad i plan to try this week

I have been approached by different friends about the advantages of transitioning into a more raw foods diet. One of these friends has even started doing seminars in the area where she lives on healthy raw foods cooking.  I have been experimenting with a few recipes, and know that I feel better at the times I eat the raw meals.  However I have a family that cannot tolerate this type 100%  yet....so am finding myself making meals for family, and a separate meal for myself.  That takes a lot out of me.  I am challenged in the kitchen as it is....so am praying over this.  I feel fortunate that I am starting this type of diet in the summer months.  Salads are easier to make when it is hot out!   This interest has led me to succumb to opening a Pinterest account to gather recipes to try.  I have been finding some good recipes thanks to the internet!

This is a step in the quest for gaining back my health, and boosting my immune system after a very stressful year.

Confirmed!

Two sleep studies have confirmed that I have sleep apnea.

Will discuss options with the Doc soon.

I am hoping that this will take care of a few of my 'nebulous' 

health symptoms.  It might be a hereditary issue. 

More Birthday Fun

We could not celebrate R's 18th birthday as a family last year due to J's diagnosis, so we created a memory for her to remember this year. 

Wrote a message on every window of her car

She had to hunt for her hidden presents~all 19~

Dad took her out to lunch and bought her roses

One awesome daughter

Dead Machines

Watching the guys 'fix' my dead computer...which is still dead.  But they have the 'fix-it drive' to keep trying to figure out what is wrong with it. And who knows~they might succeed!

Birthday Fun

A SS Class member celebrated his 93rd birthday recently.  We got together to have cake, ice cream and sing.  It was a lovely time.  He has such a sense of humor, we were laughing most of the evening.

Summer Fun

Thankful for water...it can create hours of fun! And to top it off~it is well water powered by the solar panels, so isn't costing much to use at all! 

And this is what we do when we don't have time to set up the slide  ;)
