Dean had chemo treatment number four yesterday, another dose crossed off on the calendar. He is feeling good today.
This morning I registered our Granddaughter for horse camp. She and our Grandson will be staying with us for a week this summer. We can't wait! We will have to start making plans....maybe some catch-and-release fishing (I realize it is cruel, but what are the chances of us actually catching anything?), some hiking, swimming, a drive to the mountains, etc.
Our daughter is home again, home again, from her three week business trip/vacation in Great Britain. She had a great time once she recovered from the pick-pocketing of her wallet at the beginning of her trip. She says that Scotland is very beautiful. She did have rats in her room one night at a B&B. Goodbye Ralphie-cat. We watched him for her in her absence, and she picked him up last night. She brought us a gift-jar of Piccalilli to try. Thanks, Kate.

More interesting studies are out:
A study released shows that rats fed genetically modified monsanto corn gained weight, had increased circulating triglycerides and glucose, and disruption of liver function parameters, all indicative of a pre-diabetic profile. 86% of the corn, 93% of the canola, and 93% of the soybeans in this country are GMO. All processed foods contain some type of GMO ingredients, i.e. high fructose corn syrup. There are two parts to the video included with the article on the study:

Ibuprofen decreases the symptoms of altitude sickness, also called acute mountain sickness. This may be helpful to people vacationing in high-altitude areas such as the mountains of Colorado.
