Letter from Mom

I slept until 6:50.  It was too cold to get out from under the covers.  I checked to see if we had internet, but no, there was no 240v power.

I cleaned the bathrooms and the kitchen this morning.  Then I finished the fence row.  It's all mowed, and the plants are mulched.  It looks nice.  I like pushing the mower.

I grated the coconut for lunch.  John mixed sour sop and banana together in the food processor.  Lunch was papaya, soursop and banana, avocado, and grated coconut.

Karen and I sunbathed after lunch for about 45 minutes.  I put my hair in curlers and let my hair dry in the sun.  It still looks awful.  I have decided my best hair do is the 1970's Russian gymnast look....just hold everything down with hair clips or bobby pins.  That look is growing on me....starting to really like it.  I'll try it out tomorrow in Cairns.   I got to talk with Travis a little while on Skype.  He's getting ready for his sister, niece and family to arrive.   They are going to have fun, I know.

I got a letter from my Mom today.  She is vey concerned about the python.  She told me to stay away from the snake...that it will squeeze the life out of me.  She told me to get John to kill it.  I told John what she said.

Consultations were at 2:00.  There is a hard tiny little knot behind my ear where the ear lobe meets the skull.  John says it is a lymph gland.  Something is leaving my body from that point.  The doctor says it may improve my hearing when it's done.  I hope so!

John and I discussed my plans for September.  He says I need to book my flights.  I'm going to Melbourne 9/4 through 9/11; sydney 9/11 through 9/18; and Brisbaine 9/18 through 9/25.  I'll be staying with a friend of John's in Melbourne and with John's son in Brisbaine.  I don't have anyone to stay with in Sydney.  John is suggesting a hostel, but I don't think I can do that.  Maybe I'll look for an affordable hotel instead.  I'll probably stay in Cairns from 9/25 through 9/29.  John returns from the UK on 9/29.

Supper was tomato, avocado, lettuce, cucumber, sauerkraut, pecans and dates.  We talked about Audrey Hepburn tonight.  I think Sabrina is my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie.  I practiced flute, got everything ready for early morning departure to Cairns, studied lesson and read.

  1. You should see if you can find some photos of some hostels for your trip. The difference is likely to be whether you meet some other people or not. Remember how it was at my house in Salt Lake City? Weren't there several guests? Except hostels wouldn't serve the big meals like we had. It's hard to know what to do. Take more photos of your hair.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Dr. John Fielder's Visit

My Natural Hygiene teacher and mentor, Dr. John Fielder, included us again on his Worldwide Raw Food Lecture Tour.  He arrived at my house on Monday, May 14.  Tuesday we had a raw foods dinner at the house for a few of the people that helped to organize the events here in Arkansas.   Wednesday, the Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at Gulpha Gorge Picnic Area for a picnic with Dr. Fielder.  Wednesday night he made a presentation here in Hot Springs Village about the Principles of Natural Living.  The following night he spoke at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Little Rock.  There was a good crowd at both events.  Dr. John Fielder Here I am introducing Dr. Fielder at the HSV lecture. At the lecture we served some raw food treats for our guests to sample.  One of the items was a chocolate granola bar.  I cut the squares much smaller for this event because of the number of people we had to serve.
