It's almost impossible to satisfy my sweet tooth while on my no-sugar
diet. Kiwis, grapefruit and berries are okay... but this mockshake is
pure indulgence!

Blend banana, almond butter, soft tofu, carob powder and agave nectar.
Duuuude.

Yummy juice!

The kids just helped me make our first juice: turnips, cucumber,
ginger, celery, carrots and beets. De-lish! Thanks to L.B. for loaning
me the juicer. :-)

I'm on day 36 of my new detox diet. No wheat, sugar, coffee or
alcohol. My lunch today: red leaf lettuce, beats, apple, pumpkin seeds
and saurkraut.

Finally, bought a boat!

We've been living at the beach for 10 years... and we've never owned a boat. For the past few years we've been borrowing my father-in-laws row boat, but it would take days to row to Tides Tavern or Port Orchard! Here's the description of the new boat we're going to call "barely making it":

1986 18' Tiderunner cuddy cabin with extended transom, 115 Yamaha OB w/600 original hours, serviced at Auburn Marine, canvas 3 side enclosure, fishbox, rodholders, wiring for downriggers. Lorance GPS/Sonar Fishfinder, Icom VHF Radio. Since purchased in 2005 also added the following: New Sleeper seats, new upholstery, new dual batteries and switch, new steering cable (2007), new motor control cables, new fuel tank 37 gallons, new dual bilge pumps with FL switches, new trailer bearings and leaf springs. Boat includes anchor w/rode/flares/bumpers/lines/life vests/rail mounts/wiring for down rigger/swim step/trailering cover. Also replaced much of the wiring and tuned prop. Outstanding fishing boat, motor runs excellent.

Please put your seat back forward for takeoff!

About one minute after takeoff the entire row of seats across the
aisle from me tipped backwards! The bolts holding the seats to the
floor stripped, with the force of takeoff (heading up, up and away)
the broken row was pinned to the row behind them. Luckily, nobody was
sitting behind the broken row, or their legs would have been crushed.
Needless to say, it was an Alaska flight. The flight attendants had
never seen anything like it.
