This is such a boring blog. It is about the little tedious things I have done today or yesterday. It is about if I am well or ill, if I am broke or doing well at the moment. Who cares? My political blog is totally unselfish, concerned for the betterment of the greatest number. Not for getting them a hand out, but for putting base, bare facts before their faces so they can take a look and see what they want for themselves. Why do I think they do not know what they want? Because of what I see and... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't come to dying and find you forgot to live TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES
HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them' 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.. 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5.. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on.... Sign in to see full entry.

YOU ARE SUCH TROOPERS
I am so proud of you and your keeping right on going regardless of the condition of all things outside ourselves. I have read many of your blogs and missed you. I saw that the evil Chicago government has blocked Fox News from hotels and public bars, shame. Only dictatorships regulate the flow of speech and news. This has been a bad state since day one of this administration. I saw that Nautikos has told us about the sinister concept of stoning women to death a practice of the Satanic Muslims. I...

HELLO DEAR BLOGIT FRIENDS
Dear ones, so many of you I have interacted with over the years and feel as if I know you. I have learned much from so many. I wish you the very best. I still have paid up membership for awhile. I shall pop in and out to read occasionally; however, I no longer have the time to write even once weekly. I now have a clean bill of health but my business has mushroomed and I am unable to keep up with it and do anything else now. I have been contacted about doing development for a fine restaurant and... Sign in to see full entry.

I FINALLY WALKED UNASSISTED TODAY SINCE NOON TUESDAY
I have slept most of the time. I lost strength daily and had no desire for anything to eat. Surely I will know what the problem is Monday when I go for my doctor's appointment. I don't think I have ever been in bed for such a long time in my life. It has been a strange and interesting journey. I thought I was loosing my mind. The whole way of thought processing a couple of days was out the window. I could only think of one thing, one snatch of a thing at a time. As strange as this has been it... Sign in to see full entry.

ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL! I REALLY MISSED YOU GUYS A LOT
Well this has been a really long week. The man with the $300 bid repaired the car and did a superb job on it. He did it right on target and we were able to get to the FM and set up on Tuesday. The products did very well. At about eleven o'clock I felt really weak and realized I had to go home. We are only open until noon and I made it until about 11:30. We broke down and went home, I set my bag down, went to the bath room and directly on to the bed. I have not been out of the bed except long... Sign in to see full entry.

COULD IT HAVE BEEN WORSE? WELL, OF COURSE IT COULD HAVE!
When I have things I need to get rid of I give them to the Salvation Army. On the other side of this coin I often buy things from them. Saturday I needed a folding table for my booth at the Farmer's Market(FM) and of course I thought of the Salvation Army. George agreed to take me there as he was running some errands. The place is always busy, a parking lot that is only two lanes of parking with little more than one car squeeze to get through it. It is always a challenge to get in and out. No...

A DULL AND TIRING DAY BUT PROGRESS WAS MADE
I feel like I had a total litter of babies and now I have to take a day and name all of them. Today I was testing a new spice combination to be used for Savory and Sweet. It is so incredibly versatile that you can use it on toast points, sweet potatoes or pumpkin and you can dump a spoonful into the cappuccino cup for a lift. I made this last night but I was too tired afterward to test it. Today I made a quick peach cobbler pie to see if it would work as I first intended it. Then in chocolate... Sign in to see full entry.

TODAY WE SIGNED IN
Today we got our grower's permits, our booth in the Farmer's Market and began to work twice as hard. It is so exciting to think of how we will be able to sell all sorts of things never allowed in this particular market before. They have wanted people to sell only green grocer goods that they themselves grew. People complained letting them know that the markets across the country are so full of things and we are full of customers but not goods. They loosened up this year. We are having fun with...

TODAY WAS A TOTAL WORK DAY AND A SELL OUT!
After harvesting herbs today it was time to process them. My beautiful Purple Basil is just beginning to be really full. Today I made Purple Basil Jelly one of my favorites. It was also a fruitful day in sales as well. We sold all products down to four jars of Purple Basil Jelly. We are even out of Jars on the Chicken Rub. We have to get more. We are being blessed going in and coming out in the basket and the store house. I feel so thankful when I can feel I am almost to tired to feel. LOL A... Sign in to see full entry.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SEE
Oh how I love all of you. You came out here and told me what you think. You knew you would not hurt my feelings, even if you did, I would survive it. That is what it is all about being honest and open. If she does go back to the Middle East the whole point is that people spoke against what she said. That is so incredibly important. Many do not know how to make judgements about America and American Politics. When enough people refute the bad then there is a sense that they need to really look at... Sign in to see full entry.
DID YOU GET BEATEN WITH A STICK OR IS IT JUST THAT YOUR HEART HURTS
I was very surprised at the responses I received from my last post about Helen Thomas. I received a couple who knew what the issue really was about. Knew that this country can be dealt with or given over to The Middle East/Liberal Progressives it is all the same. Well today I am not going to write any old ugly words. I will just warn you unless slack comes the Obama Mobile will pull up to our doors and invites us to move they have taken our homes and given them to some Idiot who thinks he is...

DEFINITION OF UGLY INSIDE AND OUT IS: HELEN THOMAS
It is totally amazing how many journalists are out there without any concept of the truth of what they are talking about but that does not stop them from mouthing off like some putrefied product filled balloon. Just such was the remarks by Helen Thomas this week. It should cost her, her job. It is not like she has not had it 100 years too long. She is so poisonous with her forked tongue that it simply has made her ugly. She makes me think of old 'Yes I R Fat' both are evil from deep inside and... Sign in to see full entry.

THINGS ARE GETTING A BIT TIGHT AROUND HERE
I could use a whole farm of Basil. Today I did my Pestos. They are not original people have eaten pesto I suppose for a very long time. I did; however, put a new twist on mine. I used pecans instead of pine nuts and I used Canola Oil rather than Olive. I love Olive Oil but it spoils easily and doesn't refrigerate well. This was so absolutely good, light and the color was a lovely lighter but pure green. I have just harvested my garlic and it was so clear and fresh in this. I wanted to assure...

OUR SON THE ARTIST
George has a son I took on as my son too a long time ago. He can take a piece of aluminium foil and creat a beautiful work of art. One day he saw an old worn jacket with a zipper on it and he took the zipper off and made a rabit of it. It is now his logo and the name of his Art crosses. ZIPPER RABBIT ART I am so proud of him and his work. He creates a limited number of pieces and each has his artist's mark. Here are two of my favorites I wanted to share with you.

Papa and I about have a nursery of new babies.
I simply had to share my newest products with all of you. I am a proud new mother! This is the newest baby in the nursery. It is called THE OIL for a very good reason: It is an excellent marinade for all types of seafood and chicken, it is a great salad dressing and wonderful sopping oil. I am so happy with it. It did take almost 9 months to perfect these two products but they are two fine ones. I will soon have a new one to go with the group. It is called 'Hush Puppy Muffins' real hush puppies...

Dance Lily You Have But One Day
The Day Lily is a pure and beautiful for only a day. They are excellent as food, here I have used them on a spinach and other goodies salad with blobs of blue cheese and lemon zest dressing. Eating can be such a great experience particularly with children if you can make it fun and pretty they don't develop those fears or dislikes for certain foods. I had one rule for my children and same goes for the grandchildren. You don't have to like it, you don't have to eat it but you must look at it,... Sign in to see full entry.

Summer Time is fresh salad time.
We did our Honey/Cinnamon thing tonight with awesome whole wheat homemade rolls. To be able to do that we needed to have salad only for dinner. This looks like a lot of dressing but it is really not. It is only on the top and it is very light: Mayonnaise base, dill, French tarragon, garlic, a little rice vinegar, honey, black pepper and salt with buttermilk. Our fresh garlic is coming in by the pan fulls. It is so wonderful when it is really and truly fresh. I used several huge fresh juicy... Sign in to see full entry.

BUT A TURTLE DOESN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Here I was feeling sorry for turtles because I have always been one of those people who flew through all things needing to be finished and on to something else. Now I am slow, that is one of those hinderance of aging. I thought to myself how very terrible that the turtle is always slow, ending up way late and tired. Oh just a minute I said to self, how could they be bothered, they never knew anything else. Is that the real difference? Is it not what we can do still, or is it that we don't want...
