MA, You live only 16 miles from the shore? How wonderful. I’m such a beach nut. I love your quote too:
A WISE WOMAN WATERS HER OWN GARDEN FIRST. I put it up over my computer.

I love reading this thread. I want to add that I’m grateful for modern medicine. When I think back how my grandmother suffered under so many ailments that can be healed today. And that only two generations ago.

I’m grateful for the thousands and thousands of people working in laboratories, dedicating their lives in trying to improve our health and heal. I thought about that while taking my post operation medication this morning.. It is easy to take for granted entering a drugstore and finding the exact medication to relive pain, lift spirits, whatever...

In many countries that would be like entering a candy land.
