NUMBER 7 VOL 4

NOVEMBER 7^TH 2007

WEATHER; COOL, LOW HUMIDITY, 59 DEGREES

NOT MUCH DOING TILL IT WARMED UP A LITTLE, COLLEEN AND DICK CAME BY AND SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR, WE SAT OUT ON THE DECK AND REALLY HAD A NICE VISIT!

WHEN THEY LEFT MOM AND I WENT OUT AND PULLED THE ALUMINUM UNDER PINNING FROM UNDER THE HOUSE AND PUT UP ALL WE HAD, TOMORROW WE’LL PROBABLY GO TO HOME DEPOT AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE, WE NEED ABOUT 75 MORE FEET. WHEN IT’S DONE IT SHOULD REALLY CUT DOWN ON THE ELECTRIC USAGE, THE HOUSE IS REALLY WELL INSULATED AND WE HAVE BEEN HEATING IT WITH SMALL CERAMIC HEATERS ALONG WITH ONE WE BOUGHT LAST YEAR THAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD FASHIONED WOOD BURNER BUT THE ELECTRIC HEATER IS UNDERNEATH WITH A SQUIRREL CAGE BLOWER! I’D LIKE TO GET THE NEXT SIZE UP BUT, WE’LL SEE! MIKE HAD A SOLID METAL ROOF WITH INSULATION BETWEEN IT AND THE ORIGINAL ROOF PUT ON BEFORE THEY MOVED TO HONEYGROVE, TX.

WE HAD HALEY JO AGAIN SHE STILL HAD A LITTLE RUNNY NOSE. WE’LL HAVE TO SEE IN THE MORNING HOW SHE IS. SHE ISN’T ANY TROUBLE BUT WE HAVE TO PLAN OUR DAY AROUND HER. HAVING HER IN THE AFTERNOON ALLOWS US TO GET DONE WHAT WE NEED TO BEFORE 2:30 WHEN WE HAVE TO PICK HER UP AT PRE-SCHOOL!

HEARD FROM BILL MASON YESTERDAY, HE AND BEV HAD A GREAT TIME THIS PAST WEEK IN El PASO, THAT’S WHERE BEV LIVES! SHE HAD GONE TO NORTHRIDGE CALIFORNIA TO VISIT BILL WHERE HE LIVES TWO WEEKS AGO! THEY REALLY SEEM TO ENJOY EACH OTHERS COMPANY! I KNOW BILL RESPECTS BEV AND HER WISHES AND THE SAME THING GOES FOR BEV. SHE SAID SHE NEVER HAD ANYBODY DO THE THINGS FOR HER THAT BILL DOES! I’VE KNOWN BILL FOR OVER 60 YEARS AND THAT’S THE WAY HE IS, ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN BUT DON’T CROSS OR TRY TO HURT HIM, YOU WILL COME OUT ON THE SHORT END OF THE STICK AS A FEW BUT, VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE FOUND OUT!

OK, NOW FOR SOMEMORE TID BITS;

ACHY MUSCLES FROM A BOUT WITH THE FLU?   MIX 1 TABLESPOON OF HORSERADISH IN A CUP OF OLIVE OIL. LET THE MIXTURE SIT FOR 30 MINUTES, THEN APPLY IT AS A  MASSAGE FOR INSTANT RELIEF FOR ACHING MUSCLES.

SORE THROAT?  MIX ¼ CUP OF VINEGAR WITH ¼ CUP OF HONEY AND TAKE 1 TABLESPOON SIX TIMES A DAY. THE VINEGAR KILLS THE BACTERIA.

CURE URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS WITH ALKA-SELTZER. JUST DISSOLVE TWO TABLETS IN A GLASS OF WATER AND DRINK IT AT THE ONSET OF THE SYMPTOMS. ALKA-SELTZER BEGINS ELIMINATING URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS ALMOST INSTANTLY—EVEN THOUGH THE PRODUCT WAS NEVER ADVERTISED FOR THIS USE.

HONEY REMEDY FOR SKIN BLEMISHES… COVER THE BLEMISH WITH A DAB OF HONEY AND PLACE A BAND-AID OVER IT. THE HONEY KILLS THE BACTERIA, KEEPING THE SKIN STERILE AND, SPEEDS HEALING, WORKS OVERNIGHT.

THAT’S “30 FOR THIS ISSUE.
