Prevention is the Best Medicine

It's amazing to me that none of us here in the valley are sick. We see Papa Brent on a regular basis and spent the same weekend together enduring the thermostat wars. He even came to Morgan's baseball game and had dinner last Saturday! My money is on the snot-nosed kids from the mommies group and possibly the Avila animal farm. Check out what the Mayo-Clinic has to say about prevention, I think they know what they are talking about. Besides, a sore throat is a small souvenir compared to dog piss on a leather sofa!

Prevention
"The single best way to prevent illness is also one of the simplest: hand washing. Teach your children to wash their hands often — before eating and after using the bathroom, and after spending time in a crowded public space or touching animals. Show them how to wash their hands thoroughly, covering all hand surfaces — front and back — with soap and rubbing hands vigorously under warm running water. Teach young children to scrub their hands for as long as it takes them to sing the alphabet song or the "Happy Birthday to You" song — about 10 to 15 seconds."

WHO KNEW ?

Well, you can't always trust what you see on television. I'm sure you've seen COPS on television and see them haul people off to jail for fighting and physical assault / battery. Well, it doesn't really work that way. The attacked person has to actually press charges, even if there is visual evidence such as a torn shirt, bruising to the arm, etc. They can only haul in the agressor if it is a domestic dispute or when the parties involved live under the same roof. So, needless to say, some of us were very upset to find out that there was nothing the cop was going to do other than give a "stern" warning. Obviously the agressor has also watched COPS, because when the officer began to question her regarding the incident, she denied everything and then claimed to be a diabetic having a hypoglycemic episode. You would expect that since this happened at work the employer would be responsible to take some kind of action as well. Anyways, if you have a co-worker that b...

Cooler Nights = Quilting

If you would like to curl up under this quilt with your favorite book and a cup of hot chocolate, contact Immanuel High School. This quilt will be up for auction on November 1st at their dinner auction fundraiser. We will see if this quilt can beat the little league quilt that sold for $2100. I will consider requests for special orders from family, friends and non-profit organizations.

School Days

Can you believe that the whole family is in school right now? Dalton started high school this year and Morgan is in seventh grade. They are growing up way too fast! In addition to juggling their schedules with school events, sports and homework projects, Kevin and I are both taking classes. Kevin is taking Spanish this semester to become bilingual. Actually, he is finally starting to get some of his general ed requirements. I have been after him for a long time, but he says he isn't looking to promote and hasn't shown much interest in a degree until recently. Never say never though; you don't know what God has planned for your future. Only two classes left for me and then I'll be able to apply to the Physician Assistant program; chemistry and microbiology. Hopefully some of the classes will also apply towards my bachelor's degree and then maybe a master's degree.
