update on juicing

Well, it's been interesting to say the least with the juicing. I take my hat off(if I wore a hat) to those who do this all the time for any reason!! It's a lot of work, cleaning the juicer mostly! I found out that I clean it a lot, rinsing off the leftover pulp, and all that stuff. But saying all that I still like the juicing process! We plan at this time to juice at least once a day. We are still trying to find a juice that will fill us for a few hours. Joe Cross recommended the "mean green juice", and so far that will stay with you for about 3 hours. Have a great day! Please send any juices that you like my way! Blessings!!!

Let me introduce to you, Royal, our grandpuppy

So, the title says it all!! We are so happy for Erika and Trevor, he's pretty cute! I got my foot peed on and that's pure love to allow that!!LOL!!!

lifestyle change coming!

As you can tell from the title, we are on a quest to change a few things!! I need help with my arthritis and Gordon needs to lower his cholesterol. So, the other day, I DVR Dr. Oz who had Joe Cross on. He was sick and had a immunity problem, so he went to see Dr. Joel Fuhrman and he was put on a juicing diet. So, we are on a experiment to see if it will help us. With summer finally here, it's the perfect time with the farmer's market starting up very soon to juice. We will try this all summer, so please ask how's it going for us!!! We bought a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth juicer. It's not high end, but affordable. Menard's had the best price. I know, who knew Menard's??!!! Hugs to you all!!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Hey!
 Hope all of you will have a great day! I plan on it! Mother's day used to be an very unhappy day for me, but I knew that only I could change that, so this what I did! For a few years I delivered flowers for a local florist! It made my day better especially after my mom died! Gordon has gotten better with the whole day thing in the past years! Love you girls and hugging you all!!!

vacation is over

We made it home last night. Gordon did all the driving yesterday which totaled up to 684 miles or 14 hours!!! YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We did stop about 6 times yesterday for gas, food and bathroom breaks! We crossed the Mackinaw Bridge which was scary for me as I don't like it, but hey, I'm not one of workers up there! We had a great time and one small disagreement which was yesterday! We are somewhat planning out next trip, it's a secret for now and it won't happen for a year at least! Well, I thank you all for your prayers and here are a few pictures to enjoy! Top picture is of Dan and Jill, our dear friends! Second one down is Gordon and his buddy from school, Larry. The last one is the bridge at Mackinaw City, Mi.  Blessings!!!!

friends

We are visiting friends in Illinois. My dearest friend, Ellen, was home today and I got a chance to surprise her. We had a wonderful visit and got caught up on family!! We still miss each other and cry when we say goodbye!!! She said her life change when I left, that's a good friend!!! My life changed too. Blessings!! But God is binding us together and keeps us looking forward to Heaven, when we will never say goodbye!

Vacation time

I'm pretty excited to be going somewhere with the "hub" for the next week, We really enjoy traveling together! Stopping when we want, visiting where we want, looking at what we want, listening to books on CD, and eating!!! We are visiting friends this time! Illinois and Michigan here we come!! Hoping to see Amish quilts, get some tulips from Holland, Michigan and looking at Lake Michigan from the other side!!! Our friends, Dan and Jill, live in flooding Illinois, but want us to come  anyway! We have been friends for 40 yrs.and our daughter was born on their anniversary!! Then off to Michigan! I need to get out of work for a few days, away from the madhouse. This week there are changes going on there with new self- check machines, new computers and new cashier screens. Lots of things to go wrong!!! Technology! Well, talk to maybe during the trip or not! Blessings!!!!
