As always, I recommend a good brand! My favorite is NOW brand zinc.

Helpful Hint: At my last doctors appointment, she mentioned to me, the “single most important thing a cancer survivor can do is to “break a sweat” everyday!” This is where music comes in! Get out and walk…for at least 30 minutes, vigorously (you know…SWEAT!) at least 6 days a week! I find music the best “motivator” and plugging in my earbuds to some Breaking Benjamin❤, 3 Days Grace, or anything like that, pumps me up and pushes me thru! Not everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s my walk! You do you😊!

Full disclosure…I am good 5 nights per week for my walks…I count cleaning day as my 6th day…on account of…there is NO WAY IN HELL that I am going for a vigorous walk after cleaning up after this fam! Good enuff I say!

New ❤❤❤❤: Silk Dark Chocolate Almond Milk!!! Holy not-cow! Yummm!!!

I had to find a way to get more calcium! I am learning more and more about our dairy and am steering clear…will fill you in later…but, ponder this for a bit: We are the ONLY species that consumes another species breast milk! More on that as I learn. But….think about that for a minute.

As always…bottom line, after all of that, Silk is great stuff!!!

Now that camping season is over….sorry for the lag in posts, I will be more diligent about posting! I have much to say!!!😯

Did I mention that one of my three cats was once one of my son’s cats (the one currently checked in to our B & B) until his landlord found out he had three? Mom to the rescue…again!

Meanwhile, up the road a piece…

My youngest and his girlfriend are busy getting ready for the arrival of their son…which, ofcourse is my grandson!!!
