What was most important follows. . .

Sausage Gravy Chorizo Breakfast Casserole Potatos Oven Baked

Over the years Jackie and I have become more interested in celebrating the New Year and the possibilities it brings, than celebrating the past. Combine that with the importance we feel about family and friends, Jackie’s love for cooking, and it just makes the idea of a January 01 Brunch with family and friends to help us welcome the new year, just seem like the perfect thing to do. . .

In an earlier post she had mentioned that she had had a retina tear. Earlier this week her retina totally detached and a hole developed in the macula. She had her post-operative exam this morning and her surgeon felt everything looked as good as could be expected and his opinion at this point is that she should have good result.

Jackie is resting and doing a good job of keeping her head face down to improve the chances of proper healing of her retina and increase the potential of having less vision loss.

Jackie wanted me to thank everyone for keeping her in your thoughts.

Have a great day.

Ken

The name of the company is Vision or E3 Live. They have this wonderful “Vegan”, Kelp soap that makes my skin feel so smooth and silky.

I even now use this soap for shampoo for my hair. It leaves my hair feeling silky smooth also. There are 3 different kinds of soap, kelp, green tea and peppermint. I had found this company and was very interested in their enzymes and probiotics, but then I saw their soaps, so I bought a bar of kelp soap. I loved it so much I just bought 3 more bars. I didn’t even think about trying the other 2 so I will do that the next time.

I have to tell you how heavenly the bathroom smells when you open the door. As I said previously, we live in the house Ken grew up in and it is an old house. We do not have central heat, but use a warm morning stove between the living room and kitchen, and some radiant heaters for the bathroom and therapy room. We leave those doors closed so that the heat will stay in there. So, when I open the bathroom door, oh my goodness, the smell makes me smile every time! It smells so luxurious! Just click here and then across the top of the page click on natural beauty to read about the soaps. I’m telling you, you will not be sorry you tried it.

I have had extremely dry skin, and now I am so happy with the way my skin feels so beautifully, soft and silky smooth.

Okay, that’s all, just wanted to tell you about the soap!

Happy, Healthy Showering! :)

Tomorrow I start some extra training for my position with the American Red Cross, so again the week is going to be a very busy one.
