Fantabulous Finds

Checking out the 'gluten free' aisles/shelves at all the stores lately and man is most of it $$$. Oh well, nothing beats great health and feeling fantastic.

Found the 'Riceworks' brand chips yesterday and although they don't differ much in calories from regular chips, they are made with brown rice and natural ingredients which leaves you feeling energized, instead of blah after eating them... just have to remember, "moderation in all things".

The 'Salsa Fresca' are to-die-for.... yummmmm. Of course, I bought them in every flavor.

Then, the other night at bookclub, my cute friend who was hosting had a tea party, since we'd read the book 'Major Pettigrew's Last Stand' (VERY English). She went all out; cucumber sandwiches, biscuits, tarts, little cakes... so much fun. Anyway. she served the most delicious herb tea... 'Tazo Rest Herbal Infusion' described as: A lulling blend of rose petals, valerian root and citrusy herbs... so amazing I went right out and bought a couple of boxes. If "pretty" were a taste, this would be it.

Even the box is beautiful.

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now. People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying. Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many. Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People. Oh, the people. In so many ways huma...

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Love languages

http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/ I've always known the love language my children speak.... since they were little. Rob took me a bit longer. I know my parents languages and lately I've been thinking much more about my siblings, Rob's siblings, and my dearest friends. It's taken years to figure out which one I am..... since it's been kind of a tie between three.... but recently, it finally happened. And although it's one I'm not super pleased about, it is me. It's what makes me feel secure and safe and loved. And just because someone doesn't show me love in this certain way (because obviously we all have our own language), it doesn't mean I'm not going to have a connection with them. It just means that in my deeply closest, most personal and intimately emotional relationships, this area is what does it for my heart.... and it's how my heart gives and shows it to others.
