Another Happy Birthday

Today I met my co-workers from Realty World, the real estate company where I worked from 1979 to 1988. We missed Margie who is back in Ireland to see family but had a delightful time together as usual. We feel so lucky to have such close friendships continue this long and know and support what continues to go on in our lives. We've done ' richer or poorer, sickness and health and I think we'll be there until death do us part'. Lucky women! They surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of pale salmon roses, a generous gift card to Starbucks and bought me lunch. Lovely fun, thank you very much, dear friends.

Fun with family

We joined Wallachs for breakfast, then headed down to the White Rock pier to play with the kids. Being so far away, we don`t get to do this that often. It was delightful to be together.

Incredible Surprise!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Ron surprised me. I spent the day in Vancouver as planned with Suzanne at the Miraj Hammam Spa on south Granville St. We were steamed, scrubbed, rinsed, massaged and relaxed. It was wonderful. Next was lunch at the Red Door where we ate for well over 2 hours. On the way home, Suzanne wanted to drive around Crescent Beach where she grew up. So we did, until I rounded a circle and saw 65 people on the curb yelling Happy Birthday to me! I was enveloped with hugs and kisses for 20 minutes. We had a wonderful party, a total surprise to me. I can`t believe some one didn`t blow this somewhere along the 8 months of planning. My family from Nelson, Merritt, Kamloops, West Vanc, New West etc came down for it too. We were at Beecher Place, the perfect spot - right on the beach. It was amazing and such fun to be surrounded by all the people you love. Thank you Ron and kids.

Happy Birthday

We celebrated our birthdays at pool tonight. There are 6 of us with June birthdays within 8 days so we hit it in one fell swoop.

Off to Bellingham

We went south today and joined Chuck and Barb for lunch at the Olive Garden. We did our shopping, gas at Costco is $2.75 gallon. Incredible. Talk about we Canadians being taxed to death.

fun with frirends

We went out to Glen and Leahs for dinner Monday. We had a great visit, enjoyed seeing Shelley and of course - what else - the guys got in a little crib.

Celery Seed Extract

I was diagnosed over last summer with osteoarthritis, then gout, and finally rheumatoid arthritis. I had so much pain, I'd lost function in my hands and wrists. I found this book, The Arthritis Cure by Dr. Jason Theodosakis and I can really say his suggestions have given me back my life. He recommends Glucosamine Sulfate 1500 mg and Condroitin 1200 mg daily. I started them in October and they really helped. Then I added Celery Seed Extract 75 mg twice a day, which I found on the web, that said it reduces inflammation of arthritis. Go to MyHealthMyBody.com, search celery seed extract and you can see the article with it`s research for yourself. This has truly been a miracle for me. I became pain free and didn't even need the pills anymore. I've passed this info on to many people and one of them even canceled a scheduled shoulder surgery because her symptoms decreased so much. I bought the CSExt at Pure Pharmacy on 24th across from London Drugs for $17.95 - it is $11.95 down in Palm Springs and worth every penny. For what it`s worth, I hope it helps you.
