Back to routine

Most people are going back to routines following holiday week-end, me just the usual. Everyone went to Molly's 18 birthday dinner last night, I stayed home with the animals but did get some leftovers. I still have some left for today. Only have one extra dog left, she has dementia and is almost deaf and blind. Everyone seems to understand her and she requires me to wear light colored clothing so she can follow me. The little doxies do have trouble understanding why she won't let them kiss her. Nice morning but will have to use a little air conditioning today, need to get some screen doors so I can really open up the house on nice days.

Labor Day

Have been laboring today but hope to sit down and watch the baseball games in a little while. I have never had labor day as a holiday because I have always worked on holidays. I now have 3 extra dogs because people are vacationing. They are good dogs, one has dementia and is deaf and almost blind but she does fine following me around. I listening to book tv too and hearing some good book reviews. Go to my homestead website and see some health and wellness info http://www.memaswellness.homestead.com/

Interesting Free Seminar

I am always trying to broaden my knowledge, several years ago I got all the info and worked on learning "tapping" or EFT, recently it was brought back to my attention. Dr. Mercola was offering on his website audio of all the workshops in their world wide seminars, I signed up because I wanted more knowledge and because it was free. I have really been working on it the past 3 days and spending 2 hours a day listening and practicing.
I also signed up for a free seminar on solar energy, I think Lonna will have to attend in my place but I want the info, because I want to learn more about solar energy and because it is free.
In this day you cannot afford not to get everything free that you can. My little social security check does not go far so I need everything free. I can just about pay for all the animal food, because I get the very best, and all the supplements I buy for myself and my family.

Disease and Prevention

I have spent so much time looking for a cure and prevention for dogs cataracts and I am very disappointed with local vets that think the only solution is going to a dog eye surgeon and spending a fortune having them removed. The better way is prevention, as I read it looks as if a lack of certain amino acids seems to be the culprit, then why is it not best to add those amino acids to the puppy foods and prevent this terrible disability that causes so many dogs to loose their quality of life. I will keep researching. My doxie that I had several years ago died a few months before she was 20 years old, I heard on the news that the oldest dog just died and I think I heard correct when they said it was a doxie and he was 21. Did I hear right?

So how good is it?

As I was eating my pinto beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic and strawberry, I saw the need to have a little computer I could set my food on and it would give me the exact amount of each vitamin, mineral, protein, fat, and carb. Why hasn't some genius invented that machine? Since I cannot trace the food to it's roots, I can't tell what was in it's soil, therefore, I do not know what I have eaten. Just have to keep taking every vitamin, mineral, etc. and not knowing whether or not I am getting what I need. One of the puzzles of life that needs a solution.

An interruption in my story for a little info

People have been requesting info on cancer treatments that I would use. First I would never use radiation or chemo. Chemo is just plain poison, since a cancer is a fungus at times and can change itself from virus to fungus, it must me treated as such.
First of all I lead an anti-illness lifestyle as much as possible. The hardest thing for me to do is eliminate sugar from my diet. I will relate to my anti cancer lifestyle at a later date.
Dr. Garcia is an MD who uses holistic methods to treat cancer. I would steer anyone to go to his clinic in Clearwater, Florida if at all possible or find a local physician that will work with you and use his methods of treatment. If you do not think his treatment is right for you, take what you can from it and find another holistic person to work with you on treating your cancer holistically.
You can virtually visit his clinic @ www.utopiaawaits.com

Chapter 4-my life

When the Norfork Dam was completed, it was time to move back near grandpa's house. Daddy bought a farm, 300 acres, with a two story log house, 2 barns, a smokehouse and a well house. Now we had a well for water and lots of land, 3 miles from the highway.
We moved in a large Campbell 66 truck. In the front part of the truck was the furniture and in the back of the truck the animals were transported. My dog and I rode in the moving truck and Daddy followed in his truck with the rest of the family. The place was really, really rural.
We soon had several cows, a herd of sheep, lots of chickens, pigs and a couple of mules. It was a 3 mile walk to school and when it became time for high school at the highway we caught a bus and rode the bus 16 miles to school.
I milked a lot of cows, fed a lot of livestock and one of my jobs was to move the sheep from pasture to pasture and since there were not a lot of cross fences, I had to watch them graze. This was another opportunity to read, books were not plentiful but I read Daddy's murder mysteries, the grit, western stories and someone had left a few books so I fell in love with a book "The Crisis" a historical novel. I have never forgotten it and it gave me a love for history. I loved the time with the sheep when I could read and imagine myself to be anywhere I wanted to be.
