This has been a week on the go - literally. We've driven a huge circle around the eastern half of this big state. Our list included doctor appointments, funeral events and family gatherings and we've spent the night in a different place for most of last week just doing "regular" things. Fortunately the weather has been good for traveling. Hoping it holds as there are a few more trips next week. However, we spotted geese and cranes flying high and fast toward warmer weather. They know when it's time to leave! Thanks for circling around to share your awesome posts!

Our Diabetes Story with list of Informative Resources
November is American Diabetes month. Wheels – athletic build with an active lifestyle – was diagnosed as diabetic over a decade ago. His doctors were astonished as he did not fit the profile of a potential diabetic at all. We were on the go and ate healthy 95% of the time. In fact, Wheels did not care for dessert and we almost never ate bread. Researchers have now linked poor sleep over a long period of time with development of diabetes. It is quite possible that was a big factor in our case. Wheels supervised a night shift for almost seven years and tried to be an active parent and spouse during daylight hours. Recently I was also diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I did not sleep well for many years following my auto accident, due to pain and stress. Two hours of sleep was a good ... [Read More]

Air Fryer Bacon
Air Fryer Bacon. I’ve been experimenting with different items in the air fryer I won in a silent auction. When I heard of bacon in the air fryer, I jumped at the idea. One of the things I like about the air fryer is consistent results because the time and temperature is controlled. Another thing I like is that things turn out crispier than other methods of cooking. The airfryer is essentially a small convection oven in which streams of hot air move over and around the food and create the same conditions that makes fried food so delicious. Bacon sounded like the perfect thing to make in an air fryer. I was a little nervous since bacon was not mentioned in the material that came with mine. So a little research on line where I found cooking time and temperature listed and not much ... [Read More]

Gorgeous fall day here! Beautiful colors, nice enough to skip the jacket, parades and football games and wandering walks through the park. Also, it is the Great Plains and we all know snow is inevitable. Monday in fact. We are prepared -- for once -- with the yard and garden buttoned up. Still, here's hoping the weather person is wrong!

Thanks to modern medicine I can breathe again. Long week with cough, cold and sinus infection, but feeling so much better!!! Just in time to put the outdoor garden to bed for the winter. The first freeze happened mid October right on schedule. And wiped out the tomato crop we'd been waiting for all summer -- nary a single tomato this year between flood, no sun, too much sun and, then just as the loaded vines were showing promises of ripening, frost. But already planning for next year. Thanks for stopping by with your fabulous posts!
