More about me...

I love to use these dots...I was a school teacher (elementary and middle school) for 18 years. I am now a Realtor. (long story) I also help run my husband's business. His business is farming. We have a farm. We raise hay and feed it to cows, chickens and pigs. We sometimes have a vegetable garden, but not right now. Another long story. (don't worry...I'll get to that eventually). My husband sells his beef and eggs at farmer's markets around Houston. I also have a little side business where I sell fresh ground flours at farmer's markets. But, business is not exactly what this blog is about. It is how I manage to manage all of these businesses with really bad knees. I really think my bad knees are a result of a bad diet when I was young. That is yet another long story, which I will spend a LOT of time explaining, because I do not want my young children to have these same problems, nor do I want YOUR children to suffer as I do. I officially broke my first bone when I was 11. I fell down skating. After that, I broke bones here and there on a pretty steady schedule of every 6 months. Even as an adult I have had some pretty spectacular breaks. I have had surgeries. I have rods and pins and screws. I have had my bones studied. They seemed normal to the doctors. I am a very busy person. I whole lot of my work involves working on the computer. My two biggest issues right now that I will expand upon are: Christmas shopping, (this takes walking), and my family wants to take an airplane vacation. How on EARTH am I going to do this? Where will we go? What will we do once we GET there? (No doubt it will involve lots and lots of walking). How one earth will I cope far from home? Heck, how will I even handle getting TO the airplane in the airport??? These are my challanges for now. I will also share diet, supplements, and whatever I can find to avoid pain and surgery and doctors, as I have not the resources for surgery and doctors.
