My son, I will always remember the day of August 22, 1987, the day that you were born. And I will always remember the day of March 7, 2012, the day you died and I was left to morn. You were still a child but yet a man. You were of a young age of 24. You had just begun to live and your life you had so much more. Memories of you are all good, and funny and I am blessed for you, to have been in my life no matter how long or short of a time I had with you. I am sad you are no longer here on

August 22, 1987 ~ March 7, 2012     Kenneth Roy Plowman It has 5 years, 8 months and 11 days my son has been gone from this earth. I miss him so much every day. It is so unreal like he is on a vacation somewhere and I am waiting for him to come back but the truth is he is never coming back. Sometimes I have these moments where I just have a crushing feeling and the tears take over and I miss him so much. I had one of those tonight that was very strong and words just came to me and I ran inside

When the sun comes up, it shines brighter and brighter every day. The trees and grass get greener and greener as spring comes our way. More and more flowers are peeking up out of the ground. It won't be long and we will open our windows for fresh spring air. Chirping birds and law mower sounds will be everywhere. COME HERE SPRING! I welcome your beauty and warmth with open arms!

I love growing flowers, herbs and vegetables. I have grown a thing or two inside from seed before.  Last year was my first year at trying to grow a lot of flowers from seeds indoors. Somewhere in my many photos is the proof!!  I had hundreds of little seeds planted that turned into flowers several inches tall. I was so proud. They were somewhere around 2 months along and we had a great day in the 70s. My husband said I should take them out on the patio and let them have some sun.  I did and then

we will see green and new growth in the gardens!

Warm weather is here and we want nice refreshing drinks. I want healthy refreshing drinks!!!!!  I want to keep the sugar content to none or very low and I found a great drink. Not only is it low in sugar but it is healthy in other ways. I am going to share with you a better tasting Lemonade.  GINGER, HONEY LEMONADE. Ginger, lemon, and honey are the holy trinity of food-based home remedies for a head cold. The three have great health benefits you can enjoy when you do not have a cold.  Ginger is

When you hear Chia Chia! You think of the ceramic heads that you water and they grow green hair, right?  Not any more!  Chia seeds are for eating. As a cancer survivor I truly try hard to take good care of my body and eat healthy. I started reading about chia seeds and all the health benefits and I knew I had to go find these seeds.  When I found a store to carry them and seen how little they were I was a little thrown back. They do swell up 10 times their size when placed in a fluid so DO NOT

A photograph is life's pause button. There is so much beauty in the world and by taking a photograph you pause life and look at the photograph over and over.  I do not know when my love for photography started, but I know I always loved when someone took a photo. As a teenager I had a photo album and kept a collection of photos in the album, always looking at them. My daughter was born in 1979 and I was able to get a Polaroid camera. I was always taking photos and trying things with it.  I
