WOW April 17 ?!?!
Its so hard to believe that it is 1/2 way through April already. & still winter is trying to loom on. well it finally has left the south(i hope).
where do I start.... not doing any stitching at all. last night thought about pulling something out & stitching, but didn't. just sat in bed & watched a little TV before going to sleep. Don't know what is up with my stitching mojo, can't seem to find it lately.
I forgot to take it with me to drs yesterday(Kathy had to go for treatment) haven't felt like reaing much, however did buy a few more books last week @ books-a-million. Summer reading lol-- yes it is time for me to sit outside & do whatever I want. so glad too.
We did get yard work started last week, 1st grass cut is now done. (it is always the worst). We had our 2 oak trees trimmed in March so had to rake a few limbs up(debris from the chipper they used). they also remove the holly bushes from the front yard YEAH. HALLEUJAH!!!!! Now to call a landscaper in to help with planting of new things & also adding top soil, mulch etc to it. also needing to seed & feed the grass- it is awful. I do have some seed, gonna try & get some of it down today.
Over the weekend, allergies bothered all of us in the house- some even lead to a cold. David had to take 2 days off work, he was so bad. no fever, just the sneezing & coughing bit was awful. Even precious Colton got in on this one, however his just seemed to last a day. thank goodness for that.
It is so hard to beleive he is 9 months old now!!!!! & getting ready to walk on his own. he has been standing by himself more in the past few days. so it won't be long now. He holds on to fingers & wlaks very well. so I can't wait till he is 100% mobile (under his own power-LOL)
I know there is more going on -- just can't think at the moment
my thoughts & prayers are with all those who were on Boston. I hope they soon find out who did this.
loves yall take care

Honey & Cinnamon-- use your local honey
Drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:
It is found that a mix of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is prod...uced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also note honey as very effective medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects which is also a plus.Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, put it on toast instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol and could potentially save one from heart attack. Also, even if you have already had an attack studies show you could be kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of cinnamon honey strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.
ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients can benefit by taking one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken daily even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder....who knew?
CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol-could be cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles (where DNA is contained) to fight bacterial and viral diseases.

INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans increase and even a 100 year old will start performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
RASPY OR SORE THROAT: When throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip until gone. Repeat every three hours until throat is without symptoms.

FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, even when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, when taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., the vitality of the body increases within a week.
BAD BREATH: People of South America, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water first thing in the morning so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it! if u suffer from allergies as I do- I have locally made honey. Add a couple of drops to coffee (or tea) & sprinkle of cayenne pepper. helps SO much. get honey that is made in your area- not grocery store honey it doesnt have the same benefits.
