Blood work

It's been a week since I got the bad news on my cholesterol. yep 300 not a good number. And that was after 6 months of niacin, vit e, and a few other ideas.  So now I am at a crossroad.  Medication or stroke.  I am a Flylady fan and have heard about her HFD (high fat diet) her and Leanne are on so I decided to study up on that.  I bought a jar of coconut oil and have been enjoying it's delicious taste daily now ffor the past week,along with rubbing it all over my body. I can truthfully say my hunger has greately diminished, which is kind of a wierd thing for me,  cause I am always hungry.  So gonna give the HFD a try and see what happens.

Getting Back to The Blog!

Wow, can't believe I have neglected this blog so long.  Life has a way of keeping me too busy to do the things I really want to do.  I want to be a writer when I grow up (I'm 56). Nobody really knows that about me.  But I already have titles picked out for my books, Ha!  Gonna try and do better!

Clanton's Cafe on Historical Route 66

My hubby surprised me with a short road trip to Vanita, Ok for our anniversary.  Clanton's Cafe has been on Diners, Drive In's and Dives.  They have world famous chicken fried steak which is what we ordered.  We chose the salad with home made Thousand Island dressing, it was awsome, and green beans which were served pretty and green looked like fresh, but could it be?  Oh and a huge dollop of mashed potatoes smothered in cream gravy that ooozed over on to the huge crispy fried steak.  Mouth watering whole wheat rolls on the side and the meal was complete.  We did take home three pieces of pie for later, coconut & chocolate with whipped cream topping, and lemon with meringue, they were all wonderful!  We decided that we would try and make it back before another year rolls around.
