As many of you know, I am one of those greatful Grandparents.  Each one is different and unique.

My Grandson Alex, 14 was accepted into the Rogers Heritage Baseball team.    The coach he’s had for the last several years has been hard, firm, encouraging, and all around a great coach.  I appreciate Coach Paul and others like him so much.  In life we all need mentors, someone in our field, or just someone that inspires you.

People have asked me, why do people read your blog.  My answer is, I don’t really know. lol  I guess, for some, it helps pass the time of day. (I’ve heard that before)  My blog started out as just something fun to do, and it made my time go by quickly, while I was going through the loss of my Mom and my Grandma, and quite possibly the passing of my Dad as well, since his health is not so good either.  His birthday is September 6, and he will be 80.  He’s decided to live that long, and he will see after that.  I told him, to make sure I get the memo if he decides to check out after that.  Really?  Life doesn’t work like that.

Back to the grandchildren though, they truly are the best part of life.  They can make you absolutey melt when they say something that is just so cute, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I wish we could skip the parent stage and move right on into the GrandParent  stage.  We are much better equiped to handle things, being older.

I had McKenna (3) overnight last night, and of course, she doesn’t want to sleep in the bed we have for her here, she looks at me and says very softly, I love you Grandma and I’m going to miss you when I have to go home to Mommy and Daddy.  Of course I said I’m going to miss you too!  I didn’t tell her I wasn’t going to miss the bed hog that she is.

One day not too long ago, we had a lot of the grandkids over and Alex said of the two little girls arguing, Oh geez, Grandma!  I laughed and said “Really Alex?”  He was the worst one as a little kid, but I still loved him so much.   Little did we know, he had allergies, that caused horibble outbursts.  Growing up and starting into the school age, teachers wanted him to be on Meds.  I’m so glad his Mommy and Daddy were on the same page and decided not to.  They were told he was ADD and ADDHD or whatever.  They decided to have him on the Feingold diet instead.  If you are a parent are dealing with this situation, please please look into the Feingold Association.  www.feingold.org

I personally have seen kids, in 3 days be a totally different child once you get all the food coloring, preservatives, etc out of their little brains.  It’s a little stressful at first when you are learning what they can and can’t eat, but so worth it, when it becomes second nature.  And trust me, you will know when they have eaten something they shouldn’t.  It will take about 24 to 48 hours to get it back out of their system.  I will do another blog on this later.  My daughter used to feel bad and say things like she felt she was a bad mother.  I said OH NO YOUR NOT, YOUR SON IS ALIVE!  Other parents might have killed him. lol

My children, through marriage, also made me a Great Grandma.  I’m only 59 and didn’t appreciate that too much, in the beginning,  It’s ok though, because they are awesome.  I hear complaints sometimes from people that FaceBook has way too many pictures of kids.  I disagree.  The kids are the future, and I love looking and watching them grow up.

I recently had the pleasure of watching a little 6 month old for a week.  My daughter called me and asked if I would watch her while the parents were looking for another babysitter.  OMG, she was so cute.  I enjoyed every minute.  It took all my strengh to be able to let her go.  Since I live quite far away from them, it wasn’t practical for them to have me watch her on a full time basis.  While I was holding her on the last day, I was thinking how funny it was that I was watching the daughter of a little girl who used to play at my house after school.  And that God had arranged my life at that moment in time to be able to say YES!

Hot Springs is Amazing!  I’m sure you’re wondering why the three cups above, but I will get to that in a minute.

We went to Hot Springs, Arkansas because TowMate had a booth in the FLW, for wireless, waterproof lights, being featured for trailers, canoes, and kayaks.  It was the first of many to come, in this field.

Normally when we do a trade show, I get absolutely no time with Bryan, because everyone wants to talk with him.  In the fishing industry, we were the unknown.

Since I’m not into fishing, at all, except for the fish I caught in New Zealand.  My one and only, but I digress, I couldn’t tell you if someone who was somebody was standing right next to me, or passing me down the hall.  I felt like a fish out of water.

The FLW is a BIG deal, and I met a lot of really nice people there.  We had our guys who LOVE the fishing end of things running the booth so Bryan and I could get away and go explore Hot Springs.

Hot Springs is especially interesting to me since the towns claim to fame is it’s underground springs.  On average, 700,000 gallons are collected from the springs every day at an average temperature of 143 degrees.  I of course am no different, so I brought some home as well.

I tested the PH balance of the water in the picture above.  The picture on the left is just tap water.  The greenish color represents about 7 ph which is what water in the United States must be by Law.  The cup in the middle is about a 8 ph which would explain why people used to go to Hot Springs for the “healing waters”.  The cup on the right is a water out of the Kangen Water Machine which was a  9.5 ph.  The Kangen Water also tested positively for antioxidents, which the Hot Springs water and the tap water did not.  The tap water had chlorine in it and the Hot Springs water and the Kangen Water did not.

I am so happy that our Kangen water tests even better than the Hot Springs Water did.  That means that everyone could have the benefits of the water right in your own home, every day, by purchasing a Kangen Water Machine.  Talk about True Health?

I personally feel better than I have in my whole life.  I woke up every morning in pain, and I no longer do that.  It didn’t happen over night mind you, but every day, just got a little better and a little better.

Why not get a machine for your whole family to try and enjoy these beneficial waters?  I can tell you that if you do, you won’t regret it.  What are you waiting for?

You know how much bottled water costs, and I assure you that if you stop buying bottled water, you will be able to afford the water machine. If you need help with credit call me.  I can help  Or just go online and order a machine today.  The website has machines of all price ranges.  I recommend the K8, or the SD501, because they have the most antioxidants, but don’t let that stop you, if you can’t afford it. They do have other models.

Don’t do like I did, when a friend told me about it 7 years ago.  I had to have the biggest and the best or none at all.  Silly, because my body could have started fixing itself, a long time ago.  I’m just glad that when another friend presented Kangen water to me, I wasn’t going to let it pass me up again.  Go now, don’t wait… click here to go to website

This trip was a real eye opener for me.  Please help me to spread the word to others who need the water, to improve their health.

If their need is financial, this companies compensation plan is second to none.  Please ask me, and I will gladly share how you can have healthy finances as well as a healthy body.

Again, thanks for reading my Blog.
