Another year

has come and gone. We are all one year older.

Have we changed?

Are we different than yesterday?

If so - is it for the better.

Let's hope that it is.

Sorry that there isnt any photo's for

this posting.

Well I have checked the stats for this

blog and someone is visiting it.

I will continue this blog if it starts to

get followers on it.

My fathers side of the family is coming

from Florida and then back to Georgia.

He is related to Williams, Hagan, Hesters and

Collins. There are more that right now are

not spilling out of my head. Is anyone out

there related to these people.

I have been doing my mothers ancestry for

about 10 years now. Her line of Nelson's has

been in carteret county North Carolina since

before the 1700's. Others that she is related to are

Guthrie, Harker, Smith and Rose to name a

few.

Hope this helps for now.

Neglect

Yea - I see it. I have been neglecting and abusing this blog.

Shame on me! But honestly, I dont know if anyone

is even looking at it. I will maul it over in my brain

and see if I need to get rid of this blog.

Today is July 1st....

my birthday. I have been on this earth for 54 years and glad

I am still here.
I have known

parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

I was almost born on my older sister's birthday. Am glad

that both of us had our own day.
 

Tomorrow is Wanda's birthday. 
Happy Birthday Wanda!

On Dec 22, 09

just before christmas - Jeannie Nipper Croy went into the hospital

and was diagnosed with cancer.

Things are not looking very good for her.
 

She has been taking chemotherapy for the spot on her lung

as that might be able to be cured - but as I understand it

her liver has not been filtering out the toxins in her body and that

it is leaking out.
Dont know yet if she has liver cancer but I suspect that is what it is.
However the outcome does not look good at all.
 

Our prayers and good thoughts are with her.

FORGIVE ME....

but on foods that you can eat I forgot to include fish, eggs,

beans and nuts that are still in their

shells.

Also on foods that you cannot eat

like oats, wheat, barley, rye, rice - I forgot to add that

you should not eat corn. Yes, corn is also a cereal

grass and converts to sugar when he breaks down
in your body.
We have found out that different

foods cause different problems on each of us.
 

For instance, when I eat Banana's I start getting cramps in my legs, toes, my
butt almost anywhere. Hey these cramps hurt!!
Coffee also reacts bad on me. I can tell within a second after
taking a sip of coffee if it has caffeine in it cause I get
dizzy and see stars immediately.
Also when I eat corn I get on the inside of my mouth

a sore. My mother used to tell me when I was younger
that I got these because my stomach was upset.
When I was in my 20's I got really bad headaches, or
migraines. They were so bad that it felt like someone
was sticking a knife through my brain. Sometimes I would
cry for days. Since I started going gluten-free then I do not
have any more of these problems. However if there is
wheat in the product I will get a headache within 15 minutes.
However the headache does not stay long.

Today we know that is not the case!
Today we know so much more about foods than
what we did 2 years ago.

My sister
Lori gets muscle aches that are comparable

to fibremyalga. (I dont think that I spelled that correctly,

but you know what I am talking about.)
 

My daughter Pep has a very sensitive stomach and majority of the time

what she cannot eat - I make sure that I stay away from it!
 

Wheat is in a lot of foods, wines, medicines, health

and beauty products.

Wheat has many different names. The main name is triticum.
