Today I wish mom was around to tell me all the things I WANT (not need) to do are a good idea, like eating ice cream or buying new cowgirl boots!!

Heart Healthy Cooking

Hey!
Aunt Jean thought it would be a good idea to start a heart healthy cookbook.  Aunt Tracey suggested we check out this cookbook.  http://www.amazon.com/WomenHearts-All-Heart-Family-Cookbook/dp/1594867968
Maybe we could start posting our fav. recipes!!

ps.  I'll figure out how to allow others to post other than in the comments.

R.E.M Therapy

This is one of my all time favorite songs, and it pretty much summarizes my feelings.  There are a number of ways to look at this song, but for me  -- right now -- it feels like Nancy talking to me -- and my response throughout is "Nothing is going my way" and "there's no one left to take the lead" -- the rest of the words are her's -- then, in the end I'm comforted by her telling me that "all of this is coming your way" (the important things in life).  The performance (click on link) is beautiful -- and the lyrics are below here:

"Find The RIver", R.E.M.

Hey now, little speedyhead,
The read on the speedmeter says
You have to go to task in the city
Where people drown and people serve
Don't be shy. Your just deserve
Is only just light years to go

Me, my thoughts are flower strewn
Ocean storm, bayberry moon
I have got to leave to find my way
Watch the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes
Nothing is going my way

The ocean is the river's goal,
A need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go

I have got to find the river,
Bergamot and vetiver
Run through my head and fall away
Leave the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes
Nothing is going my way

There's no one left to take the lead,
But I tell you and you can see
We're closer now than light years to go
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
Fall into the ocean

The river to the ocean goes,
A fortune for the undertow
None of this is going my way
There is nothing left to throw
Of Ginger, lemon, indigo,
Coriander stem and rose of hay
Strength and courage overrides
The privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet search naivete
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way

This is a test! I'm trying to see if I can update the blog via texting. Technology is awesome!
