The laugh of the day:
Green Smoothie.
Ever tried it?

It's the craze in athlete's or anyone's nutrition:
Just blend a mixture of veggies, fruits to offset the highly GREEN taste,
possibly a protein power,
and voila, you have a heavenly protein power drink.

My version?
After 30 beastly minutes on the treadmill- or mill stone??
slash recumbent bicycle,
I whip up a frothy, chunky drink with what I have on-hand:
Free tomatoes from my neighbor, Spinach and cucumber.
Yes, water and agave nectar to entice.
Do I have apple juice, an orange or lemon zest?
NO! Add a scoop of protein powder and my courage to the mix.

Needless to say, it took about 20 minutes
to choke it down AND a fresh commitment
to myself to keep the necessary ingredients around
so I never relive this morning's high school science experiment:)

Try it some time. The word, "Gratitude" comes to mind.

Deb


These are my 7 cousins, missing their mom.
This is one, tight-knit family.



This is my Aunt Deb.
Deb was one of the naturally funniest people I know.
Jo could put rabbit poop in her hand and it would make her laugh harder:)
We laughed about everything. Even the saddest things.


She had more hot dog jokes than anyone else!

This is my Aunt Deb.
She's an angel now.
I miss her.
