1 . Our area is known for growing great fruits and vegetables that will be in abundance over the next several weeks. Try grilling your vegetables or putting them on kebabs for a great side dish.
2 . Watch your portion sizes, especially while traveling. It can be tempting to get a large bag of potato chips or candy for the road, but opt instead for a smaller package or portion out your car snacks.
3 . Don’t forget your physical activity. Set up some beach volleyball or go for a swim. If you are traveling by car, stop every hour or so to walk around for a few minutes.
4. While traveling, be mindful of food safety issues. Pack ice chests with adequate ice or cooler packs.
Words of Wisdom :"The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back."
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."
"The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache."
"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich."
"Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear."
"There comes a point when you either embrace who and what you are, or condemn yourself to be miserable all your days. Other people will try to make you miserable; don't help them by doing the job yourself."
"Whatever phase of life you are in, make time to pause and reflect where you are heading to. It is a good time to insert a comma now and realign yourself to your inner self before your life ends in a full stop."

Dad ,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post and you know exactly what to say . I do so love you for helping as you do . I told LA your butterfly was just to cute , he said he showed you how to do it and now you will have things flying all over the place . Dad , I know what the butterfly mean , I read some of Confucius teaching in school .
Your only daughter [giggling]
Hello daughter ,
DeleteThanks , I don't cook or clean , so this is a way to help with my chores . My son says I need a paying job , that boy is NUTS , that's why I made him to care for me when I got tired of working (laughing my butt off)
He showed me how to get the things I want , he gives me great pointers .
I dare say my daughter , you are very much smarter than most people think .
You know what Confucius meant by the Butterfly . Nice is it not ?
Dad
Hello HB,
ReplyDeleteGood, sound advice. It is hard to eat healthy when you are on the go all the time in summer. We eat when we are on the road a lot and we tend to eat more junk.
I like the words of wisdom this week, especially ("There comes a point when you either embrace who and what you are, or condemn yourself to be miserable all your days. Other people will try to make you miserable; don't help them by doing the job yourself." ) I really liked that one. Great job as usual and thank you for being our guest writer.
Luv and a big hug...Butterfly
PS: I love the butterfly
Hello little Butterfly,
DeleteI understand exactly what you mean , it is also hard to eat healthy when you are not on the go . You have to eat junk on the road , no home cooking . We eat so many spices and herbs , I do think a little junk food do us good .
I am so happy you like that particular phrase , I will explain later this evening .
I think you kindly my lady , I will hang on as long as I find something that interests me .
Love and a big hug back at you .
HB
Poppa , we have good healthy habits , mama lets us have junk food . Mama say a l , has all the meats and vegetables in it . Mama say a good breakfast and dinner is good and we can have some junk food . Daddy say it is all right to pig out sometime as long as you eat healthy . Mama say hamburgers is a meal because it has vegetables and meat .
ReplyDeletePoppa we like your words of wisdom , we asked daddy what some of them mean , now we know why you are so smart . we got you some coconut chocolate nut candy mama made today . we love you Poppa .

Hello my very sweet Grands,
DeleteI know you have very good eating habits . if it was left to your dear mama all you would eat is fruits , vegetables and a little meat , and a lot of fish . Your daddy pigs out all the time when you mama makes something good which is always (laughing my butt off).
proud you like my words of wisdom , the hard part is understanding them , your daddy will explain them to you or you can ask Man .
I am so proud of all of you .

ReplyDeleteYour posts are getting better each week , you are the talk of the compound , for a good cause . Were you at the Casino when Jamie Foxx and a customer got into a fight ? If so I want the details , Gil said he didn't know anything about it until it was over . That boy of yours is a mover and a shaker , Lenny said he is glad Gil is at the helm , everyone knows he will not put up with BS. Good post .
Hello my dear Joanna ,
DeleteComing from you my dear that means a lot and I think you for saying hello each week .
I get a lot of input from most of the family on the compound . The rest can go to hell in a hand basket (laughing so hard almost peed). Daughter told me you went with her to watch the tapes , now you got it first hand .
Gil is a mover and a shaker and as you know he likes things to run smoothly . You know how smooth his office runs do you not ? If the attorneys people get out of line , he speaks to the attorneys , he has always run a tight ship . Truth be told my lady , I would not work for that boy day , but the ones that followed him from Reno just love him . What you cook ?

Hi G. ,
ReplyDeleteYou are getting so good at this , now you are using gifs and the butterfly is adorable . I watched the tape with Nee and Joanna today and it seems Jamie was doing all he could to avoid a fight , he walked away and the guy hit him in the back and hell broke loose . Jamie gave that guy an old fashion ass kicking , Nee was rolling . Security made their report that the guy said Jamie was cheating . Nee came to watch to see if Jamie was counting cards , but he wasn't , he was having a lucky streak . Nee said the guy didn't know when to hold them and when to fold them . What will you write about next week , can't wait .
Hello Jean and Harvey,
ReplyDeleteWhen Nee read the report and saw the guy accused Jamie off cheating , Gil asked Nee to check it out because we do not want to ban the guy without reason . You know Nee know table games like the back of her hands and she can count cards too . Jamie was just having a lucky streak because he had enough money to stay in the game and he kept raising the pot which was over the guys head . I hear Jamie is still here so all is well .
Thank you and I have no idea what will be next , I have 5 ready to go .
Tell Harvey the stealing is going to be good tomorrow so come early (laughing my butt off).
