I RECEIVED Presents, but CHOOSE Health -- 12/29/2011
Here are a few things I had no control over this holiday season… what came inside all the pretty wrapped boxes, the weather, the fact that one of our chickens woke us up at 4 am with a “cocka doodle doo”, the number of shoppers out there on the 23rd competing for my parking spaces, to name a few.

Protein Building Blocks -- 12/02/2011
A friend of our family came to dinner one time when the kids were small and proceeded to build a magnificent parking structure with the large sized lego blocks he found strewn on the floor.
