I had a great day yesterday: went to the Farmer's Market and met so many nice people, bought some fruits and veggies, talked, gave a way a couple of books and had a really good time. I am so grateful for those people who work so hard to provide us with good healthy food. Lonna and I then went to visit my friend Pat and take her some of our fresh produce, some reading material and a new shirt that we bought from my friend Mary at the Market. Pat had other visitors that were seeking answers for health issues and of course I was happy to talk to them and give away some more books. When we got home we had some of that produce for lunch,,,,such great peaches.
No rain so I put some water on my trees that I have to save and watched my baseball games. More winning than loosing, for a change. I am grateful that it is a bit cooler this morning because some of the surrounding towns did get a shower yesterday. I have been doing some research on Alkaline Water today and also finishing the research of Ellen's prescription drugs, makes me sad that there are physicians that sell people all those drugs and never mention the supplements; fish oil, CoenzymeQ10, B12, D3, etc. etc. When are they going to wake up? .......................

I had a great day yesterday, was very busy and I think productive. I visited my friend Pat Lemmer in the Ashley rehab, getting over a small stroke, they think. No one seems to know what happened to her but she did have weakness on the left side so is retraining her left side. She looked really good and in my opinion I think she is probably almost back to normal. She is such a nice lady and was a partner on some of the mission trips, helping after hurricanes and in Dumas after a tornado. I then went to hawkins Wellness and met Ellen for a spa and conversation, While I was there I met 3 other friends, made some new friends and of course, visited with Jeri and John. So grateful for all these opportunities and the ability to get 'out and about'.
My animals thought I had abandoned them and gave me lots of love when I got home. Today I have to catch up on the "have to" list here at home. I also have to do some research on some prescription drugs and some alternatives. No rain today but I am hopeful.

When my huge weeping cherry tree and my shade trees started wilting, I gave in and started giving them some water. I don't know whether or not it will save them as it seems as if I am giving it with a teaspoon. I am listening to some seminars on Qigong and Tai Chi and would love to become a master but the money just is not there for such "foolishness". Yesterday I did some research on the "ear acupuncture/auriculotherapy" and got a sample of a book on my Kindle, books are too expensive.
Today I will go to Hawkins Wellness and meet with Ellen, I love going to see John and Jeri, I always learn so much when I go over there. I am looking forward to the opening of the new building for wellness.

Rambo and Lela went home yesterday and Domino went to heaven after a long battle with aging, she finally let go of life. We got Domino when I lived in Texas from a shelter and she has been a great Border Collie for the past many years. She loved barking at Motor Cycles and lawn mowers, had fun sniffing in the barn and around the barn lot, and was always very relaxed just watching over all the other animals. I will miss her even though the past several months she would forget what she came into the house to do and her dementia was easily spotted. She has a grave in my flower bed and Lowes will be here today with more bricks and soil. Molly was in 1st grade when we got her and is a second year college student now, don't know for certain how old she was when she came to live with me. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time with her. Everyone should have the pleasure of having a Border Collie for a companion, I have had two great ones...

Am listening to "brain enhancing" sounds this morning. When I hung out the wash this morning I decided that it was a "stay inside" day. I think Rambo and Lala will go home today, not certain but it will be good because Lala is displacing everything in the house because she is looking for the cat. She is so focused on the cat that she does not see what she is displacing to get there.
I have more wash to do because Domino is still alive and is constantly urinating in her bed. Because of the odor, I have to change the bedding really often. I am grateful that things dry very rapidly outdoors.
Lots of research on the computer this morning; it started with the bittermelon that Lonna brought from the farmer's market. I had heard mention of it in the natural health info so looked up all the benefits this morning and then something else came up, etc. etc. By the way, I am glad it has health benefits because it tastes terrible to me. Will have to try it in vinegar to get some of the bitterness out. It is listed in the "diabetic cures" in my info.
More wash ready to hang out......

Zoey came this morning and as usual it was a really great welcoming by all the dogs. Domino is still hanging on to life, laying quietly in the living room by the water, drinks but will not eat. I spoke with Ellen this morning, will meet her @ Hawkins Wellness Center on Thursday. I am doing some research on supplements today with the help of Barky, Zoey and Rambo; so helpful. Waiting for Lonna to bring stuff from the Farmer's Market. I am so grateful that there is a breeze this morning so we spent a bit more time outdoors then I must be grateful for the "Kool" house and happy animals. Milt called yesterday to plan the mission trip to Joplin for post tornado clean up; will go the August 1 and 2; Monroe and Quincy will be here on the 3rd so I will have to be home with them the rest of the week. We are hoping for cooler weather by then????
