Thanks, SRS! I'll watch the mail.

i have been doing my PT exercises on a regular basis and can really feel a tightening up and realigning of my hips, knees, etc. with barely walking (just around the house.) My Rog finally was able to watch my osteopath do an hour's work on me. He was literally astounded at the difference in how well I could move. She always checks, first, to see if my hips are lined up. Maybe you could find a good soft-tissue adjusting osteo to help out?

I lost more than half of my perennial bed to drought this winter. My brother weeded out everything but three plants left. We will get new plants, soon, and replant. No produce at the moment. Neither of us has the energy, plus this valley is very abundant with good organic stands, so we're "eating out."

We have a swanky food dehydrator. used it one year...seemed to take a long time. just not "us" i guess.

now for a good cry of disappointment and a short nap. Rog's day off isn't after expecting the day off for a couple of weeks.
