Summer's Finally Here

Greetings All:  How's your summer going?

It's really been hot and wet here in the Mid-Atlantic region.  Today, the temperature reached 96 degrees and it is very humid.  Walking outside is like taking a bath with your clothes on.

Last night, I finished the last episode of LOST, season 6.  The ending was truly surprising and unexpected (is that redundant?)  I highly recommend this series.  The only negative thing I can say about it, is that is has consumed my life for the past month.  I watched six seasons, one day watching it for eight hours, breaking only to eat and visit the bathroom.  In a way, I'm glad it's over so I can get back to a normal(?) life.

I went out of town today to buy groceries, but all I could think about was LOST.  I've searched online for answers to questions I have about some of the episodes and found a very good site, can't remember the name of it, that offered theories about a lot of the episodes, especially the last one of season 6.  I've got to start watching some other TV shows that I've downloaded from ITunes, just to get my mind off of LOST.  Can you believe, the thought actually crossed my mind to start watching it all over again?  I must be nuts.  I never thought a TV show would so consume my thoughts and actions.  I'll make myself watch something else, starting tonight, probably Downton Abbey.

The store I went to, to buy groceries, was Harris Teeter.  I went there because they have an abundance of organic products, including produce, frozen entrees, fruit, etc.  I found a lot of great produce and my refrigerator is full.  The reason I bought so much produce is that I want to start juicing.

I read an article online yesterday, written by a Japanese doctor, stating that cancer was actually a fungus and only thrived in an acidic environment.  By flooding the system with alkaline juices, the cancer can't survive and dies off.  The die-off produces toxins that can make the body feel pretty bad for a while, but eventually the body will heal itself.  I've always believed that the body can heal itself if given the proper foods, supplements, etc. ( I believe there's always been a cure for cancer, but the doctors won't make any money from it, so they don't want us to know about it.)  I'm hoping that helping my system become more alkaline will help my arthritis and fatigue.  If I only had more energy, I could do a lot more than I'm doing now.

I'm trying to find some interesting recipes.  I'm a vegetarian, and eating only vegetables and grains gets a little boring.  I do like Indian food, though, and have tried a few Indian vegetarian recipes which were pretty amazing.  My new favorite spice is Garam Masala.  This spice is composed of several different spices, including turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and cardamon, I think.  (I really don't want to get up from the computer and read the label, so if I'm wrong,  so what?)

I'm still beading and have progressed to the point that I'm now considered advanced, according to me.  I don't bead as much as I used to, but like to read beading patterns to keep my mind active.  Keeping the mind active is very important, especially as one gets older.  I read, bead, read beading patterns, play the piano, peruse the internet and write scathing emails to all of the liberal media.

I am an American Patriot.  I love my country and am very concerned about the path our political system is taking.  America has truly become a police state.  If you don't believe me, go to www.mercola.com and read some of Dr. Mercola's articles.  He is a doctor with an alternative point of view and he tells it like it is.  Our government has become so intrusive in our lives that we don't have any privacy or that many rights any more.  When is it going to stop?  We need less government and more states rights.

Well, I've got to drink two glasses of water and rest awhile before I try to put up the rest of my groceries.  Then, it will be time to fix supper.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could take a pill that supplied all of our body's nutrituonal needs?  That would certainly leave a lot of time to do more fun things.

Be blessed, Nana
