I came home yesterday, doin' my normal come home thing. Lyle starts calling me from my bedroom. Multiple "c'mere kitty!"s did nothing. I walk into the kitchen and see his tail disappearing around the corner into the bedroom. Walk into the bedroom and there's a mouse in the middle of my rug. So Lyle and I took turns chasing him around, Lyle succeeding at the catch more frequently than I, but eventually I caught him and put him back outside.

Can't imagine what people without pets do for fun.

Thanks, Jooooooodie! .. . . . .. And I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack from the Island!

What a wonderful weekend..... . . . .. this place where we planted Dad's little tree is Ward's Island, one of five islands that sit in Lake Ontario, a short ferry boat ride off the southern tip of our provincial capital. My family has a place in a modest, little-known history book in that we are the only known family to have had residents on this Island going back five generations on BOTH sides - - my mother's AND father's. Quite a lot of history, there.. . . ...incredible ties, relationships and friendships. My brother is living there in the house that my grandfather built himself in 1921, a young man just out of the First World War, about to be married and needing a place to begin a family.

There were many people there over this weekend who came to see the plaque that we installed under the weeping mulberry. Pics will follow! :)

Happy your home safe and sound and it was a wonderful time

Nothing can replace the history and memories of a house your grandfather built himself!

New memories made today toobiggrin.gif

I'm wondering what will happen to my Uncle Bernie's log cabin home in the hocking hillsblink.gifhuh.gif

It's been in the family for 3 generations on 40 acres in the Hocking Hills in Ohio.

So many memories for me there. All of us kids would go for weeks in he summer

It's my touch stone.........place I can always go to to feel 'centered'

but

Times and situations change and we just have to addapt. Didn't even post on Uncle Bernie's passing. He was like my second Dad.

Happy your brother is in the home.

Will try to catch up on everyone. Still don't have my paintings or anything on the walls.

Been mostly gardening as we moved into a hone with a back yard of mud.

The front was nice with roses, shrubs etc.

Will try to post a photo Jim took of what we've done when he's not blogging on 'his walks'cool.gif

<Doesn't everyone?? :unsure:>

Peeps!!..did I tell yooz??.... I've injured meselph :( .....hip hurts like heck (with pain spreading down me leg) - dunno WIH I've done but I've got to give it rest.

Only doing yoga classes <_< - can't BARE not being able to work up a sweat wiv Sven :angry:

*sulking*

jerseyangel Proficient

Pheel better, Nik! Hip pain ain't phun :( Could it be yer sciatic nerve?

Well, the boy's dryer made some awful screetching noises this morning, and seemed to be overheating. <_< So...I piled two loads of washed but still wet laundry into the car and took it all to the laundermat. Luckily, I lived in this area fer years so I knew just where to go. I think the last time I was there was when my dryer at the time died :lol:

They got a new system now--you put yer money in a machine at the front of the place, and you get a card that you swipe into a do-hicky slot in front of the machine you are using. Of course, this was all new to me, so the lady there had to walk me through it. :ph34r:

Anywho, got it all back home nice and dry just before the rain. :D

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

Tried to paste 3 people's post and only patti's came up

We are going to Anaheim Friday night. Going to do Disney, probably just for a day cause the boys will get bored. Planning to go out to Catalina Island and kayak. We're staying right by Disneyland and there is a PF Changs and a couple of other places to eat that are supposed to do gluten-free food. Trying to find things for teen age boys to do or they get bored and unpleasant. Coming back home on Tuesday pm. Anyone have any suggestions for activities, let me know. We will have a car so it doesn't have to be close. Anyone been to the Labrea tar pits?

I loved the Labrea tar pits and your boys will love it.

We went years ago when we lived here before but son Jason went and one of his favorite things to see.

Anaheim, there is a Katala Deli I read on here is outstanding for gluten-free things. Haven't been there.

know In and Out burgers are safe with protein style burger.........just lettuce no bun

Forget where you live if your in CA or not

We went to Catalina Island a few years ago. LOVED it.

take the open bus/trolly tour.........well worth the few bucks to get to the top of the MT as cars can't go on Island.

Didn't have much luck with gluten-free there but again it was 3-4 years ago so maybe now they are more aware

there is a great park........El Dorado I think............Nice nature area with paths and lots to see

Great nature center and gift shop has wonderful electic stuff. it's some where near Seal Beach which is near Anaheim

Actually I taught in Anaheim for 9 years right after college........moved out here alone and met hubby ............

and that as they say............... all the rest is history laugh.gif

Course there is Knots Berry farm but i never liked it much and not sure teens would either.

So out of the CA loop can't remember anything else but the 'pits' are a MUST SEE.

have fun.

kareng Grand Master

Thanks Judy. We live in Kansas City. Before kids we lived in Sacramento & Wash, DC.

I'm packing a loaf of bread and will hit a grocery for cold cuts and fruit. Figured I would bring that to Catalina and anywhere else I might need food.

The boys want to go to a beach. One wants to try surfing. I'm going to check the internet & see what I can find. Are there any beach areas that have a boardwalk like Santa Cruz? Rides, games, junk food, stores full of cheap stuff?

Thanks

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
