BLOG DAY # 57 in a day of my life. Last night we toasted and sang our way down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City & beyond- thanks in part to DOS EQUIS!


     When friends reunite-you never know where it will go! Yesterday-the girls headed off to DC and the boys took in a little culture and history at the Mannassas Battlefield! AND WE BEHAVED! Well-for as long as we could!The old song-"THERE IS NO BEER IN HEAVEN!" , well there isn't any at the battlefield either! LOL So as we waited patiently in the parking lot outside THE MONGOLIAN restaurant that we were meeting the ladies-for almost one hour in the car-talking over old times-we finally decided to go inside and wait.

   That's when we discovered they had a bar- darn- one hour wasted! The Blue Moon drafts and Miller light started to flow!

    After another 45 Min's. the ladies joined us. Dinner was really good-never had eaten there before and it was a pleasant experience.

    Went home-fired up the Karaoke machine and that is when DOS EQUIS took over for the next 5 hours! LOL

    We walked the Yellow brick road-conquered the Emerald city and beyond!

Dos-Equis-Man    AND THEN THE FUN BEGAN.

“He can make orange juice, out of apples.”

                                   YES MY FRIENDS-HE CERTAINLY CAN!

                       “When people pay attention to him, he keeps the change.”

    They were going down good last night-so good that the music flowed like a silver stream!

                                  "He has never used a mulligan.” 


      
     We raised them often last night-my dear friend Buck & I, Jim stuck to the HIGH LIFE!

                                       "When he goes to sleep, sheep count him."

                                     "His organ donation card also lists his beard."




                WE DON'T OFTEN DRINK BEER-BUT WHEN WE DO-IT'S DOS EQUIS!

Last night was a good night-lots of singing-lots of laughs-best friends-all for one-one for all!

The wine was sipped-the music was good-the time was right for our get together-today will be a wine tasting trip-after last night-I will be the DD-and will be Glad to do it. Have great day-we will!

BLOG # 55 IN A DAY OF MY LIFE. When friends come to visit-life is lived to the fullest!


      Every four months or so-we attempt to get together with our friends Buck & Cindy McBride fro Wilmington N.C. and Jim & Dorothy Brown from Va. Beach Va. We take turns going to each others house for a long weekend. This weekend was suppose to be in Va. Beach-but because we got mixed up with Sherry running the 10 mile Cherry Blossom race in DC everyone agreed to switch it to our house.

Remember that old song"THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND!" Well everyone-THANK YOU!



We do many different things and try to include our kids whenever possible-here we are at Charles town Races & Slots Casino.

    A NIGHT OF HORSE BETTING!

Well-actually- we only bet for four races-but Buck got to go to the Casino-played some craps-played some poker- and I lost $20.00 at the slots! Par for the course for me!



We all have a great time-and the neat thing is-we have all been friends for over 30 years and doing our little get together every 4 months for the last , oh I don't remember exactly-but Buck & Cindy moved 15 or 16 years ago and we moved 13 years ago and Jim & Dorothy moved 6 or 7 yrs ago. Anyway-it has been a very log time!

 


Here we are boating on the inter-coastal waterway off the coast of NC. Bucks son-in-law Brandon is driving. Just cruising along with the wind through our hair!


ME HANGING ON-BUCK IN HIS SEAT-BRANDON AT THE WHEEL!


I love this picture-my friend Buck-hoisting one for the both of us!



YES WE TRULY ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS-SHARING LIFE EVERY 4 MONTHS!



                   AT DEB & MIKES LAKE HOLIDAY-CROSS JUNCTION VA.





HIT SHORT & STRAIGHT IS OUR MOTTO-ALTHOUGH I DO NOT DO IT THAT OFTEN!


VIRGINIA BEACH IN FEB. JIM & DOROTHY'S 30 Th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY




VA.BEACH-JIM & DOROTHY'S HOUSE ON THE GOLF COURSE!



AND THE DRIVER OF THE BUS-SAID LEAN TO THE LEFT!



 WHY DO WE GET ALONG SO WELL? BECAUSE WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
 AND WE ARE FRIENDS THUR THICK AND THIN! RAIN OR SHINE-AND GOLFING!
IF YOU CAN REMAIN FRIENDS AFTER A GOLF SCRAMBLE-THEN THAT SAYS IT ALL!





WILMINGTON N.C. AT MAGNOLIA GREENS-BUCK & CINDY'S HOUSE



YES-WE TRY TO SING-DRINK A LITTLE WINE AND WHEN THE BEER FLOWS-


 THE EVERLY BROTHERS COME OUT TO SING-WELL JIM DOES!



AT THE OLD MILL REST. IN PURCELLVILLE VA. ABOUT 30 MIN'S FROM OUR PLACE!



THE THREE AMIGO'S AFTER WINE TASTING AT BLUMONT 30 Min's FORM OUR PLACE!
ONE FOR ALL-ALL FOR ONE!

      As the excitement increases as we await here arrivals-it is with the up most gratitude that on one hand we can count our closest friends of the last 30 some years. They have stuck by us-they have been there for us-and what more can I say. WE LOVE THEM DEARLY!

    So in a little over 24 hours we will once again share a memory-share a weekend of laughs-share a story or two-and be blessed that we have them as friends.

DOWN THE ROAD WE GO-WE NEVER KNOW-WHO WILL LAUGH-WHO WILL SING-WHO THE SMILE A JOKE WILL BRING-BUT BE AS IT IS-A GRAND TIME WILL BE HAD-IF ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE-BEFORE OUR PATHS CROSS AGAIN!

GOD BE WITH YOU-PEACE BE WITH YOU-LET OUR FRIENDSHIP BE WITH US!



                        TILL WE MEET AGAIN-FRIENDS FOREVER!

BLOG DAY # 54 in a day of my life. When health becomes a family "THING" , it is passed down through the "GENERATIONS!".

     Today I will talk about Health & Family. As we progress through our lives-as we get OLDER- new GENERATIONS come into being. Sherry & I became concerned 6 years ago when we started to learn about FOOD and how it affects your body chemistry.

     The old saying, "WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!" , is more true than what you think! The big problem, is that we just do not think about this! We have become accustomed to not WAIT for our food! We want service & we want it now, be in a line at the supermarket or getting your car inspected.


     And the same is even more prevalent when we are hungry! Because of this, we have adopted for the most part as a culture, "FAST FOOD!". Think of when you are traveling. What or where is the fastest place we can stop so we can MAKE TIME and get there as fast as we can. WE ARE ADDICTED TO TIME! It controls our lives, be it going place to place or in Corporate America!

   PART OF OUR FAMILY.

     The above picture is a small part of the next GENERATIONS of our FAMILY. These all are FOURTH GENERATIONS. Besides being Cousins-the one thing they all have in common is that through us, THEY ALL TAKE JUICE PLUS. Be it capsules or Gummies! And they have for pretty much the last FIVE YEARS!

DO WE ALLOW THEM A "NORMAL" TREAT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE?

    YES, BUT THEY KNOW

IT IS A SPECIAL OCCASION-AND IF THEY ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE
OFFERED SOMETHING THEY KNOW IS NOT GOOD FOR THEM-THEY TURN IT DOWN!

      OUR JOBS AS PARENTS-IS TO TEACH A CHILD RIGHT FROM WRONG!
NOT ONLY IN THEIR DAILY LIVES-BUT IN THE FOOD THEY EAT!

     SARAH-STYLING

     Did you know, Dr. David Katz-Head of Yale University Med. , has said, "If we do not change the way children eat, that every child born from the year 2000 and forward, their life expectancy will be less than their parents!".  This will be the first time in recorded history that this has happened! Think about that-You just may be the last GENERATION that lives longer than your children-grandchildren! How do we stop that?
    Madison as a VIKING!

     We have to educate them so they are able to make smart choices. THE HAVE TO EMULATE US!
We have to be the leaders. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror and then we have to EDUCATE ourselves so we can pass it on!
     THIS IS A START!

The whole world revolves around food-why not grow your own? Because, as we get back to the basics, WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME! Again, we are back to our fast paced life!
What if there were ways to make it simple? What if there were ways to make it fast and simple?

WHAT IF IT WERE COST EFFECTIVE! WHAT IF IT PROVIDED SMART CHOICES!
WHAT IF IT WAS EASY AND FUN AND THE CHILDREN LOVED IT!
WHAT IF IT WAS EDUCATIONAL!


IT IS AND HAS BEEN PROVEN, TO WORK, TO BUILD YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM, TO ENHANCE YOUR DNA! (the aging process) TO OPEN UP YOUR ARTERIES-AND MANY MORE GOOD HEALTH EFFECTS!



   The answers are in what we eat and what we do not eat. Its as simple as that.
Why then, do we not want to do this? Because we have been conditioned to the fast pace of life and the connivance of FAST FOOD & PRESERVITIVES instead of the OLD FASHIONED ORGANIC WAY! Think about that-were in your  daily life do you eat organic? Or , how is the food you eat prepared and how does it last so long?

   SEEDLINGS

      There are answers-buy all organic, but that is expensive! And you are right. Plant a garden! But that takes way too much time and effort and besides you only get one harvest!
      Shop for the best non organic! Wait a minute-are they the best for me? Do they last and if they do-what was sprayed on them to make them last? Folks-these are questions that you have to ask- and you have to educate yourself if you are going to teach the next GENERATION to make smart chices so they can live longer-not less longer!

 HERE IS ONE WAY TO GO! IT IS NOT EXPENSIVE-WILL LAST FOR YEARS AND YEARS-WILL FEED YOUR FAMILY ALL YEAR LONG-AND IT IS NATURAL!
AND YOU CONTROL WHAT IS PUT ON IT AND IN IT!



      THE TOWER GARDEN-BY JUICE PLUS-THE WAY TO THE FUTURE!



    The Tower Garden is your own growing system. It is easy-fast and delivers !
It will HARVEST every 4 to 5 weeks-thats 10 to 13 times a year! It takes 15 mins to set up.
You check it once a week for water level-you test it once a week for PH level-all it requires is 5 to 6 hrs of sun each day. Its on a timer-watered every 15 mins. You don't do it-just sit back- and watch and listen! When you want a salad-just step outside and cut it off!
  Beans      lettuce

   Kale     TWO WEEKS

   Continuous growing     Always harvesting!

    This all is an indoor system-so you can go indoors or outdoors!

   How you start them!  


   Two weeks of this.    Then out them in this!

   Check the PH once a week. 

           AND IN FOUR TO FIVE WEEKS-THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE!

     This continues for all year! Do you know what this would cost in a supermarket to buy this every week! And you have it at your finger tips just outside your door. 

For more info -go to Sherry@Sherry4jp.com

THERE ALSO IS A SECOND AND FAST WAY TO GET ALL THOSE NUTRIENTS INTO YOUR BODY AND EDUCATE YOUR CHIDREN ON SMART CHOICES-AND ACTUALLY CHANGE THEIR CRAVINGS! DO YOU WANT TO HAVE THEM CRAVE VEGETABLES?

THAT WAY IS JUICE PLUS AND THE CHILDRENS HEALTH RESEARCH STUDY.
ANY CHILD-BETWEEN THE AGES OF 4 TO 18- CAN GET JUICE PLUS FOR FREE!
AND THIS WOULD LAST FOR UP TO THREE (3) YEARS!

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO-IS ORDER IT FOR YOURSELF-AND ONE CHILD IS FREE FOR AS LONG AS YOU TAKE IT FOR UP TP 3 YEARS!

THE COST!  $1.33 a day - and you take it and the child takes it. Throw all those other supplements away-this is all you have to take-no vitamins-no one a days-anything else you can think of except vitamin d! 

      Its all her in capsule of gummie form.




Teach a child smart choices-show them the way to good healthy eating and give them JUICE PLUS!
JUICE PLUS- 17 of the best fruits and vegetables and 2 grains for fiber- in capsules or gummie form!
You just swallow two of each of the capsules or eat the gummies every day! How fast and simple is that! And there are now 24 published research studies, in medical journals, by major Universities all over the world-that proves it goes into the bloodstream right away and it builds the immune system! It enhances the DNA among many more things. Why would you not want to do this!


The research is there-it is proven-and it is not expensive! You pay more for a coke and candy bar- a cup of coffee or a bag of chips!

     Its all in the product-it has the research-it changes the way your children see food.

BRING ON A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE AND THAT OF YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN! MAKE A DIFFERENCE! PROLONG THEIR LIVES!

MAKE A NEW YEAR OF IT-MAKE A NEW YEAR FOR YOUR CHILDREN!
JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN! JUST TAKE IT! IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

       YES, WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE-A FAMILY DIFFERENCE!





      WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE PEOPLE WE LOVE




   WE ARE INSURING THEY DO NOT BECOME A TRAGIC STASTIC IN THE NEXT GENERATION-BUT A POSITIVE STASTIC OF THE NEXT GENERATION!



OUR FRIENDS-AND THEIR FAMILIES








         PEOPLE WHOM WE TOUCH-GENERATIONS TO COME

FROM US TO YOU-TO YOUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN






WE WANT THEM TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE-THAT IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
PEACE BE WITH YOU-AND EVERLASTING HEALTH! FROM US TO YOU!
