And our weekend is off! Friday we picked up 2 of dd’s friends (young adults, flying in to Denver from their home in Michegan,) that we’d met with their family at Family Reformation Camp 4 years ago. Friday night 2 other friends, that we’d met with their family at Little Bear Wheeler’s family camp 3 years ago, also drove in (from Denver.) For this week the boys REALLY outnumber the girls here. 8 to 4! That is REALLY strange still for me, even though our 4 older girls have been grown and gone for quite a while now. (Youngest of the 4 married nearly 5 years ago.)

The young people have a busy weekend planned, in addition to our family activities. All will culminate (mostly) in the annual Memorial Day cookout at our house, with hopefully at least most of our grown children and grands joining us. We will return the last of our visitors to Denver on Wed. (unless K goes good on her declaration that she’s staying here). :-) We’d love to have her.

Looking forward to a fun but busy weekend/week.

Recovering from a brief whammy that started Wed. Sore throat, unable to breathe, cough, chills, fever. Felt quite a bit better Thur. Was able to get up for the not yet bright but early drive to Denver to pick up daughter’s friends yesterday. BUT, had absolutely NO voice yesterday. Today I’m preparing to sing special for church tomorrow – make that SIGN. I’m preparing backup for SIGNing, not SINGing this time. But I’m feeling much better. Voice returning. Just keeping the Kleenex close.

Here’s what I’ve used:

Thieves Spray – down my throat at first sign of sore throat (An Essential Oil blend from Young Living)

Colloidal Silver – alternated with the Thieves Spray at the beginning

Fresh lemon juice and raw honey in hot water – sip often

Cedarwood Essential Oil – for cough

Raven or RC Essential Oil blend – for congestion (whichever was closest each time) – oils applied 2-4 times a day

Oscillicoccinum – homeopathic remedy, 4 doses because I was desperate to kick this thing quick, with the week we’ve got.

No sugar or other “junk” food, milk/dairy, or meat.

LOTS of prayer for healing mercies.
