And if anyone wants more, I can give it to you............. :-)

(Our beautiful "Grand" Emma, a back view, through the kitchen window, when more get-pool-ready work was being done.)  :-)

Dear Cheryl has wondered if her arthritis pain could be helped, by going sugar free.  BUT!!!!  Sugar free is only one part of what one must do.  I am mostly devoted to a whole new healthy way of eating.  Only doing this, will allow my body to remain mostly inflammation free.  And inflammation-free seems to be the key, if you believe what "is said."

My last bout of terrible allergies/cold ---  Which necessitated doc giving me Prednisone  ---  At same time as we were learning to eat in a fully healthy way  ---  And I had had to be Gluten Free and Lactose Free for some time, already  ---  Allowed me to EXPERIENCE the remission of all my various arthritis-like pain/stiffness.   Without this "Perfect Good Storm" of happenings, I'd never have believed it.

  The people who push this way of life, tell you that pains and be eliminated.  But who believes them?  They sound like 'crack-pots,' who are trying to sell you something.

(This is "Uncle A.'s" scroll saw.  To which he added a blower, to blow the saw dust away, when cutting.  I had to take a pic of it, because it has been a PROJECT!!!  ,-)  But he loves Projects in the work shop.) 

So far, I am believing those who tell me, that certain illnesses can be helped, by a different way of eating.  "The proof is in the pudding" as it were.  


It helps, that our son and his family next door, are doing this Healthy Way of Eating too.  As much as is possible.  We here, are just 2 people.  They are a family of 6.  Naturally some totally healthy protein items, are too expensive, for a family of 6.  So they have to "kick back and punt."  ,-)  But they are not, not, not returning to the usual way of eating.  

They are not buying regular grocery store bought meats/fish.  Or processed foods, with labels containing all those unknown ingredients.  Or non organically grown veggies, etc.  They are part of a local food co-op thing, which provides a box of organic veggies, a week....  What ever grew the last week.  It's a surprise!  :-)  

And they have quite a little garden, from which they are already eating.

I know.  Most of you Dear Readers are sick, sick, sick of this!!!  :-)  And that's fine.  I put these things here, for anyone who might be interested.  And I can point interested Dear Readers, to much, much, much more information.  If wanted...

Yeah way to many people think it is a crock because the companies, doctors and such have engrained it into their minds that it can't be food and blah blah blah. Which is the big crock, you can control just about anything by what you put in your yap.

One thing I have discovered is that a healthy diet grows on you. Once you get used to eating a new way, you cannot go back to the old way.

Your photos are ALWAYS a treat!! Good for you in taking care of yourself! It makes it even nicer that your family is doing the same thing! There is strength in numbers!

Uncle's wood shop is really nice.

I enjoy reading all you have to say about the benefits of healthy eating. It's something that I know in my heart I should do, but it's hard to break old habits. I do think eating certain foods is sort of an addiction. Baby steps...as my chiropractor, who promotes healthy eating, says...eliminating just one unhealthy thing at a time. My first thing to eliminate will be sugar.

Love your photos. The Queen Anne's Lace is beautiful.

A remission of aches and pains would make it all worthwhile I think. Okay, I'm going to have to take a closer look at this. Darn.

I really like the saw , I wouldn't take anything for mine.
Nice family shots.
I am eating lots more vegetables and drinking more water as it seems to help me. It's a shame we have to pay more to buy organic, it should already be organic.
