Girls Day Out

I slept good on the sofa in the meeting room.  Internet works great here.  I-phone works great.  What more can you ask?

I got up at 8:00 and read, washed up, and dressed.  I checked in with Bruce downstairs in his store, then I walked around the neighborhood and over to Elwood Beach at Port Phillip.  It's quite beautiful with lots of upscale young soccer moms jogging along the paths in the neighborhood...many pushing a baby carriage or following a dog on a leash.  I bought a map of Melbourne at the news stand for $10.00.  I checked in at the store again with Bruce then took off walking in the other direction.  I wasn't able to figure out exactly how the public transportation works to get into the city.

It turned into a beautiful, warm sunny day.  Maureen picked me up at my room at 11:30.  We picked up a lovely lady named Mary and then a lady I met at the meeting last night named Avriel.  We had the most delicious raw lunch at a place called the Vegi Bar.  I ordered the Raw Falafel Wrap.  It was excellent!  We all had a raw passion fruit dessert.  Superb!

Raw Passion Fruit Dessert
We had fun walking around the eclectic neighborhood and popping into the shops that interested us.  I got a lemonade fruit at a produce market and some raw food bars at a store that sold grains, seeds, and nuts.  We took Avriel home (she is 80 years old) and then went to an op shop (second hand store).

To finish off the afternoon, we went to a place called Monk's for a juice.  Not everyone can find Monk's.  You have to be shown how to get there by someone that knows.  It's back behind all the other shops.  I had an orange juice.  It was a fun day.

I got back to Bruce's shop about 5:30.  I visited with him for a minute and met a couple of his customers. I was tired so went to my room without much delay.  Supper was lemonade fruit, almonds, and one of my raw food bars.

To health and happiness.

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...
