"There's no doubt in my mind that maybe two years from now or five years from now or ten years from now, we are going to find out what we know intuitively, that thimerosal, the mercury in the vaccines, absolutely causes autism and other learning disabilities." -- Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.


"Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos - the trees, the clouds, everything."

"We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are."
-Adelle Davis


"The body, simply put, can heal itself of nearly all chronic degenerative diseases or conditions in much the same way it heals a cut or a sprain. The human body is a self-repairing system, after all. What you have to do is give it the right nutritional tools so it can unleash its fullest healing potential. And that comes from natural medicines found in the world of nutrition."
-Mike Adams


"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship."

Humble Abode

I have been spending most of my time at the trailer lately--we have even slept there almost every night this week. Sure, there's no running water, no power, and it was only yesterday that we started to be able to put gray water down our sink to the septic tank--but that's part of the fun! It's summer! Why not live a little?

I've been busy cleaning, painting, and unpacking. Jason has been working on getting the skirting put on the trailer, and bucking up firewood for the wood stove we will be putting in the addition. Most of our clothes, etc., are still at Magnusson's, as well as our beds, but hopefully we will get most of our stuff moved this weekend.

So, a few photos, for those of you who have been asking:

Not exactly a beauty, but it's four walls, and that's all that matters.

Jabin making a funny face for the photo. The boys are having a snack on the floor in front of a built-in hutch in the dining room. I have not re-painted those oh-so-attractive doors yet--it's kind of low on the priority list. I'm thinking of sanding off what's there (it's that textured spray-on paint) and doing it distressed blue with bits of red showing through. What do you think?

We've been setting healthy records with our diet lately. Hot dogs 4 times a week! Whee!! (Can't wait for the power!)

Gotta go pack some more. I'll post more photos of the inside once I get my "afters" taken on the paint job!

Happy Friday!

Good for you guys Talena! That's a lot of work on top of regular life. And about the hot dogs, meh, there's always a cleanse for that. And happy belated Birthday, sorry I missed it, again :(

Vicki - The weather has been mostly good, but the frost the last couple of mornings has not made it very tempting to get out of bed!

Dawn - Yay for cleansing! My complexion can hardly wait! I can hardly remember what "regular life" is anymore! Maybe we'll get back there soon. "Somewhere after the reno..."
