Summer's Arrival

Summer is officially here. Which means our days are free for treats like these fabulous cones from the legendary Salt & Straw ice cream house. 


Good thing the garden bounty can help with healthy eats to balance those summertime treats!

The Placebo Effect

Tonight Mary was complaining about pain in her ankle.

"It really hurts," she said as she massaged it.

"I'm sorry it hurts, darling. Anything I can do for you to help it feel better?" I asked.

"Yes. You can give me some candy." Mary replied.

"Candy?? Is that the new remedy for sore ankles?" I inquired.

"No, but the candy will be a good distraction from my pain. I'll be so busy enjoying the sweet taste that I won't be able to focus on how much my ankle hurts." Mary said with a twinkle in her eye.
