I just recently joined this group. I live in Central California, 12

miles from the ocean and live on 12 acres just 3 miles from town.

(Fairly small town) Two of my sons live in houses on our property.

One son is single father of a 7 year old daughter. Lucky, Lucky

me. We have several fruit trees and orange and tangarine trees, 3

avacado trees and a walnut tree. We used to have a huge garden when

my 4 children were home, but now is easier to just buy stuff at the

farmers market. We also had chickens, beef and pigs, but now I don't

eat meat and my husband eats small portions of it. I have stage 4

lung cancer and down to 90 pounds so don't have a lot of energy for

gardening. I take the granddaughter to and from school and to

acrobatic and swim lessons and other activities as well as help one

day at her school. I am not doing any chemo or radiation as it

dimminishes the body's ability to heal itself. I am taking many

antioxidents and a vegetarian diet, No sugar or dairy products and

try to eat as much raw food as possible for the enzymes. So far was

diagnosed in Feb and cancer has not grown. I have a strong faith in

God that He will heal me. Life is good.

I am enjoying this e-group very much. I am such a fussy eater and

always on the lookout for something that will fit into my " diet " .

I have between 200 and 250 cookbooks so one would think that I had

lots of choices!!! Patricia in CA
