Someone Has Been Smoking!

I dreamed I got a smallpox vaccination.  I was upset because I never intended to get another vaccination.  HSV was giving free vaccinations to the citizens, and they were lined up around the building to get their shots.  Then I developed a huge open sore on my stomach.  I was looking in the phone book for a doctor since I don't have a medical doctor anymore.  While trying to decide who to call I realized the sore would heal without the help of a doctor.  That's the end of the dream.

We talked at supper last night about how liberating it is to understand Nature Cure.  It takes away the fear of sickness and disease to a great extent.  When you understand that your symptoms are there to heal you, you stop responding as if you are being attacked by an enemy.  No more fear of epidemics, fevers, aches and pains, inflammations, etc.  God is the healer.  Our part is to co-operate by not getting in the way.
Be thankful for your illness.

I got on the computer for about 1-1/2 hours in the morning before I lost the broadband satellite connection.

Before going to work this morning I cleaned the toilets and picked a few cobbler's pins out of my jacket.

This morning we finished the framework over the vegetable bed.  Now we are working on putting wire fencing over the framework so we can attach the shade cloth.




When I had been here a week, John mentioned that he could smell someone had been smoking.  Since I was the only person here I quickly said, "It's not me."  This morning he said that he can smell nicotine being released from my body.  That's awesome, I guess, but I haven't smoked in 22 or 23 years.  He said my body is just now able to release it.  He is trying to impress on me that my little indiscretions can take weeks, months, or years to overcome.

Lunch today was papaya, avocado, delicious pineapple, sapadilla, tamarilla, and coconut.  I had a banana, but wasn't able to eat it.

It is better to eat foods one at a time, rather than mixing them together because when you eat them one at a time you can listen to your body tell you if it wants a particular food at this time.  It also keeps you from disguising a food you don't like with flavoring from something else.

Chinese restaurants use MSG which is a flavor enhancer.  MSG is also a poison.  If they didn't use the flavor enhancer you would realize the food does not taste good.  In the US the restaurants are allowed to say they do not use MSG if it is less than 99% pure MSG.  They just call it by a different name.

Karen, John and I went to Mareeba after lunch.  We picked up the goat milk.  This is our last week to get goat milk for awhile, because it is going to waste.  I won't eat cottage cheese, and it is too much for John to eat by himself.

We went in all the hardware/sporting goods stores in Mareeba so Karen could  look for a high quality camping mattress.  They are about $300.00.  She couldn't find on that was the quality she is looking for.  
So when I toured Australia, I can always say I saw the hardware stores of Mareeba!

John drove me by Overflow so I could look for the young girl that collects American coins.  I let her have my $1.00 bill and about $3-4 worth of change.  She offered me $5.00 AUD.  I let her give me $2.00 AUD so that I will have enough money to pay for my laundry on Friday.

There was a street musician playing at the plaza and his partner was hula hoop dancing.  I videoed them performing Folsom Prison Blues.


We had a consultation with Karen.  She's lost three kilos in three days.  I've lost 0 kilos in three weeks.

Supper was lettuce, grated carrot, diced avocado, lime juice, sauerkraut, dates, and pecans.  We had a nice conversation at dinner about all the raw food teachers...Dan McDonald, David Wolfe, Gabriel Cousins, Doug Graham, and more.  John says Paul Nison has become a Christian.  I need to check him out.

After dinner Karen and I had a visit about the state of the world.  I did my best to defend the U. S. gun laws and our right to bear arms.  I practiced my flute in the office tonight.  Tina was giving her kids showers in the shower room which is opposite the office.  She told me she plays the flute, too.  Her daughter is also learning to play.  We agreed to play some duets soon.  How awesome!

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...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
