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

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

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?

Karen

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.

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

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
