Movies

Roelof and I went to an early show of the Iron Man this morning and we really loved it! It was very entertaining and fun.

Mom went to the Dr.

I took Mom to a Wellness clinic that was recommended to me by Kris Vel. Her dad went there and had amazing results. I thought it might be a good idea to have them check her out . She has been walking pretty crooked and bent over since her hip operation and is only taking prescription medicines and no vitamins or any nutritional products. The results of that visit has given me some good information to help her in the future. She has some scoliosis and her hips are not even because of the new hip she received. We have a plan to put a lift in one of her shoes to even out her hips. Her neck and lower back need help because her bones could fuse together if left without treatment. She had a test ajustment yesterday and adjusted well. She is already walking better and standing straighter. We will be going to a patient class so we can be informed on how to support her therapy.

Grandma spends some of her time reading and has been enjoying having the dogs so devoted to her.

Just some thoughts

Right now I feel like I could devour so many books and concepts and ideas. I love learning new things. I am facinated by Astrology, Numerology, and any kind of positive information that makes my life happy and fulfilled. I grew up in the LDS church and learned some truths that are validated by so many other teachings in the world. It is facinating to me how these different fields can all come together into one great whole. I am especially drawn to nutrition, and recipies as well. Having my mother staying with me and I want to know more about aging and how I can help her. She has given me so much joy! I want to help make her life better and easier. She makes me laugh everyday. She is forgetting many things and is having trouble walking. She keeps talking about how she is doing her rounds with all her children and then she can leave. Now that I am 55 years old, I am feeling like I have another 55 years I could live. I have made many changes recently and feel more are on their way. I have always been interested in nutrition and hope to be as healthy as possible when I reach 100 years. I love to listen to talk radio as long as it isn't negative. I like to hear different points of view. I love languages and have been learing Japanese, Irish, and Italian through podcasts. When I learn about other cultures, it helps me understand people better. I am learning how wonderful people and their life stories can be.

Oma & Opa's home on the Market

Roelof has listed his parent's home on the Market with Coldwell Banker. We had a very successful Open House this weekend. It is looking really good now. With new carpet on the stairs, and the porch painted. Kris and Pete worked really hard on the yard and did an excellent job.
