Reading

I belong to a book club. I wanted to  share the enjoyment that I got from a couple books that I have read recently. For some reason, as I have gotten older, I mean matured, history and back in the real old days interests me. In high school, I could have cared less..why did we need to know about what happened over a hundred years ago. "These is my Words" (yes, that is correct). By Nancy Turner. It takes place back in the pioneer days and the main character is this awesome female that encounters situations that some men couldn't handle. The other book was "Nefertini". Normally I would never read a book that is based back in the Pharaoh days in Egypt. It was another powerful woman story.
I prefer reading biographies but nice to read a fiction novel once in awhile.

September 1968

  I just read a blog that was talking about "what did you do in September of 1968?" I did not have to think very hard on that one. My girlfriend and I packed up her 1966 Turquoise blue Ford Mustang with all of our worldly possessions and left the beautiful state of 10,000 lakes and headed for the other side of the globe to California.  What brought us to California? MEN  She and her boyfriend stayed for a couple months and headed back to Minnesota. Obviously, I stayed and that was 43 years ago. Sometimes I feel like a native but if you have read my ebook "Boomers in Blue Jeans", you would easily realize I wasn't always a California girl.

Green Smoothie Drink

I know, the first reaction is probably, eeewww..but trust me, it is delicious.  I have a Vita Mix Blender and it is heavy duty so really does a job on the ingredients.  Here is what I put in mine and the amounts are a handful except for the liquids and supplements.  Here we go:
apple (everything but the core)
spinach
kale
chard
cucumber
couple slices of lemon
scoop of protein powder
scoop of wheat grass
scoop of spirulina
scoop of flax seed
couple tablespoons of Greek Yogurt
frozen strawberries
frozen blue berries
frozen bananas
I use almond milk but any liquid would work
sometimes I throw in a few ice cubes if I want it colder

I know, you want to go make one right now.. some people put in avocado.. and not using all the ingredients
I use, isnt going to make it not taste good.. it is still yummy and sooo healthy.
