Ärende: beer--and trip
======================
Hi Ruth!

I always think when I see someone givng a child beer, "I guess the kid has
plenty of brain cells yet, but..." .

He had to rescue me from the garden today Lol... I was picking green beans
(there were several pounds again), and daikon radish, and the last of the first
planting of sugar snap peas.. and I lost my balance and landed on my butt..
oops :)  oh well :)  He was out there trimming trees so he walked me be back
inside then :)  We took the opportunity to eat some hamburgers so my son came
down and joined us.

Lol :)  I think she knew that :)  She liked my cooking quite a bit :)  She
really was happy when I did it.

That's what I figure to do :)  Anything I make will be done beforehand. That
way I can pace myself.

Today he took about a lb. of greenbeans upstairs.. he loves eating them raw :)

With my son, he ate everthing and lots of it until he was about 5.  Then he
decided to not be so hungry.  There were plenty of times that he'd just have
peanut butter and honey, or peanut butter and applebutter.  The doctor used to
tell me, "he'll probably outlive all of us" when I'd complain to him about my
son's eating habits :) :)

>> eating what I would consider good food.. til very recently (smile).

> The light is beginning to dawn.

I think they know that most food in the market place is so treated and full of
addititives, they don't want to eat it.. so for them the idea of grass-fed
animals is a real plus.

Take care,
Janis
