Simple Raw and Natural

Today I am in Philadelphia helping my DIL get ready for a big move from Philadelphia to San Francisco, California.  We are throwing things away right and left, boxing things up for Goodwill to pick up, and boxing up food stuffs to give away at church on Sunday.   We have only just begun.  Plenty more to do. The whole family is looking forward to this move to San Francisco.  I hope they will be happy there...and be sure to wear some flowers in their hair.  If You're Going to San Francisco We rewarded ourselves tonight with a fun trip to Olive Garden.  I had the salad, vegetarian minestone soup, and iced tea.  We have been eating almost all raw ever since I have been here. Me, Phoebe, Conner, Amy and Caleb at Olive Garden This afternoon I practiced my flute.  The National Flute Convention is in less than a month, and there is lots of music to learn before I get there.  Hopefully, I will get to sit by lots of people that know what the...

This has been a busy time with the family.  On the 4th of July our daughter, Molly, SIL Ken, grandchildren Zac, Braeden and Ashlyn spent the night and celebrated the fourth with us.  There were no fireworks this year because of the serious drought and fire danger.  We had food, watched a movie, swam in the lake, and Ken and Travis played golf. I made mushroom burgers for the fourth.  They were better tasting just eating them with the hamburger veggies and no bun.  The recipe was posted here... http://www.simplerawandnatural.blogspot.com/2012/07/4th-of-july-mushroom-burgers.html We also had veggie burgers and regular hamburgers for the ones that wanted them.

Swimming in the lake.  On Saturday we drove to Benton and met Molly and family at the river.  The river was pretty low, but we st...

I have been feeling a bit under the weather.  I don't feel sick, I just feel like I don't want to be around people.  My mentor and teacher, Dr. John Fielder, says that unless we are squeaky clean in our habits when we are around people living an unhealthy lifestyle, it will drain our energy.  So his prescription is don't stay up too late, don't eat in restaurants, exercise in the fresh air and sunlight and get plenty of rest.  That is my my problem...I haven't been squeaky clean enough. We are getting ready to celebrate the 4th of July - Independence Day.  Happy birthday America.  We are expecting our daughter, Molly, SIL Ken, and grandkids Zac, Braeden and Ashlyn to come celebrate with us.  I will try to not do too many unhealthy things.  We have plans to do the traditional hamburgers and hot dogs.  Here is a recipe I read about on Raw for $10 a Day that I will double for Mushroom Burgers.
