More about the trip

I was fortunate last week to not have to drive on icy highways going up to Mom's. The days preceding the trip had given us some sleet and ice, which still remains in some shaded areas. Even some ponds around here have ice at the shoreline.

However, there had been a propane truck wreck on the hill going into the town where Mom lives. Thankfully, it was all cleaned up and out of the way by the time I got to that point. Otherwise, I would have had to take a detour of several miles around the site.

Of course, while at Mom's we had some of the best meals around. Healthful and nutritious, low fat, low sodium, yet so full of flavor. See, Sis and Mom cook with herbs and seasonings to bring out great flavors without adding things that are bad for the body. Sis and Mom have both lost weight and inspired me to get closer to their cooking plans than I have been.

Since I have a few other health issues (those which people of my age generally have) I need to avoid some nutritional additives. I also have to avoid diet pills, even if they are the best weight loss supplements around, because they can increase my blood pressure. Unless, of course, they are completely organic and herbal.
