Healing hot drink


On the stove is the huge tea pot I bought from Lehman's last winter. I love it. I am making my version of healing hot drink.


In a cup place,
1/4 to 1/2 t. cayenne pepper
1 t. cider vinegar (organic is best)
1 t. lemon or lime juice
1 to 2 t. cinnamon
1 to 2 T. honey
Just so you know. I don't measure any of this so its up to you how much of each you use. Once you have been drinking it you sort of learn how you like it.

Fill cup with hot water.


Now fill your wives cup with hot water. Thanks Jeff.

Stir, inhale the steam, sip and be well.
Cayenne pepper has many healing properties. It helps all body organs and especially the heart. It opens nasal passages, stops bleeding if put on a wound, strengthens the heart muscle. Google it and learn its many benefits.
This drink makes me think of apple cider and is quite pleasant tasting. Don't try to start out using lots of cayenne. That is something you must work up to.

Yolanda's home tour

Yolanda has her home tour up. Pop over for a visit. I love her sewing room, and her Hoosier cabinet and her washer and dryer. I better not give it all away. Leave her a comment about something you like about her home.

My home tour


Nothing like starting off my home tour with a messy bed. I want to tell you that when you cant walk around the bed its really hard to make them.


This is the opposite side of our bedroom. There is just about two feet at the end of the bed to stand and dress and such.



To the right is 1/2 of a shoe organizer that I had Jeff screw to the back of our bedroom door. Below that is a tv tray that hooks to the door too. I sit on the end of the bed and take the tv tray down and put my make up mirror on it and do my make up. You can see my make up mirror in this shot too.


This is 1/4 of the shoe bag which Joy suggested we put here beside the fridge with those command strip type hangers and then we filled it with cooking utensils. Wall space is just about as scarce as counter space is here in the RV.



I place my less used appliances above the cabinets. I went from 3 crock pots to one. I am sure as the weather cools I will have to tea pot down and on the stove because I will be using it more often.


This is the organizer we installed in the tiny bathroom. It takes up lots of space but we don't spend much time in the bathroom anyway. Just like we don't hang out in the bedroom because its very small too.

This picture is self explanatory I hope. The storage units we installed are above the toilet.

Here are the two units we installed to hold shampoo and such. The built in ones in the shower are just too little and things fall or get knocked off of them.
This is the big ole shower. Since we have a 6 gallon water heater we flip the switch on the shower head while we shampoo and lather up and such. As you can see we removed the glass shower doors and installed one of those bent shower rods and boy that has been super.
This is Mollie's side of the back bedroom. As you may be able to tell, we removed the top bunk and replaced it with shelves. That really opened up the room and gave her more storage. She decorated it how she wanted it.

This is Hannah's side of the room and she too has decorated it to her satisfaction. I bought the command hangers and the squish able type of stuff for them to use to hang stuff.
This is the living room with the new corner section installed on our sectional. We ended up getting rid of the foot stool but we are happy with this arrangement. It gives one more place to sit.

This is the other side of the living room with my small table where I do computer work. The kitchen cart holds our plates, bowls, and glasses. In the corner is the printer and some office type stuff we use every day.

The plates are from the old house and I think they make the place seem more like a home. Notice the cabinets with mirrors below the plates. One of them is Jeff's "office". When he wants me to get something out of there for him he says its in his office.
We are really enjoying living in our RV.
As you send me your home tours I will post them and also link to them on this post.

Ok lets do the home tour tomorrow

Yolanda reminded me that I wanted to do the home tour this week. I decided tomorrow was as good a day as any so lets do it. I will tidy the RV, take pictures and put them on a blog post. You can do the same and send me the link so I can feature them on my blog. I may just show one or two pictures and then the link or if you don't have a blog and tell me I can feature all of your pictures.
It will be great.

Headed back to college


Every time we get together with the Derixson's we take a family picture. Joy is always gone to college and never in the picture. This is our picture from a couple of weeks ago when we met them in Gainsville Texas and stayed in a couple of suites. We had a fun time. It was our gift to them for pastor appreciation month.
I call this picture a pile of people.


Joy headed back to college this morning and already the RV seems larger/empty. The other girls are hard at work with their school work and I am searching the net for places to park the rigs near okc if we end up moving.


Jeff and I went to okc Monday and he had an interview yesterday. He feels good about it and really likes the people who interviewed him. So maybe we will be moving if he gets a call.


Mollie is working hard at getting her drivers training completed so she can get her regular license. That will save me some running around.


The shade cloth for the windows came in and I want to get at least two west facing windows covered asap.


We had a freeze last night but apparently it wasn't enough to kill the flies or else they are all just hanging out in our house.

My church ladies group was in the local paper


This is our new womans group from church. I am in the turquoise blouse. This is the article and picture that was in the paper.

Women from the Panhandle Bible Center in the ministry "God's Women in Action" work to make dresses for African children in need. The group wishes to show God's love through willing hands and hearts.

Some local women have teamed up to show their love and compassion to people they will probably never meet.
Panhandle Bible Center in Guymon has a group of women who formed a ministry they call "God's Women in Action." The goal of the group is to "show God's love through our willing hands and hearts."
There were 19 women in attendance of their first meeting earlier this month. The ladies first project is "Little Dresses for Africa" which is an organization created by a Michigan woman, Rachel O'Neill, who visited Africa a few years ago on a missions trip.
The conditions and treatment the children endured, inspired Rachel to make them feel loved and special. She came up with the idea of making dresses for girls and britches (shorts) for boys. After incorporating several friends to help make the clothes and missionary groups agreeing to take the items on their trips to Africa, the idea became a reality.
Rachel has made four trips to Africa herself to personally deliver the dresses, her last trip being this past September.
The word of Rachel's project spread rapidly and Girl Scout troops, church groups and sewing/quilting groups and individuals in 36 states have joined in this effort of love.
Rachel receives, on average, two - three boxes of dresses per week sent to her and as of this summer, more than 26,000 dresses have been delivered to eight countries in Africa through missionaries.
Through Rachel's dream, both the giver and receiver of the dresses and britches are blessed by God.
Since teaming up with the project, "God's Women in Action" have, to date, made nearly 100 dresses and several britches and wish to send "a special Thank You to Guymon Sewing Center, Guymon's Wal-Mart Super Center, Quilted Treasure's Quilt Shop in Liberal, Kans. and personal financial donors for generously donating material, sewing supplies and notions for out Little Dresses project."
The group plans their next meeting for Nov. 9th to continue making the dresses and britches.
The group says, "We are exited to see what God has in store for our ministry as our church continues to grow!"

Cobbler in a jar


I discovered this article about cobbler in a jar on face book. The source is:
http://wendolonia.com/blog/2010/06/16/crisp-in-a-jar/
This interests me because we like the author either eat too much pie or some goes to waste, mostly it goes to waist though. I liked the idea of making some for the freezer so when the sweet tooth did strike you could just pop one into the oven. Also the oven in the RV is very small but I know that 4 of these would fit on the cookie sheet thing that came with my toaster oven.
I wanted to record this recipe so that when I decide to make it I will have it accessible to me.

God's Pharmacy


A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.


Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.


A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus ma king them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 ph oto lytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (mo dern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.


Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.



Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

What your liver does in simple terms



















I received this as an email so I do not know who the author is. I thought it was simple to understand and informative so I wanted to post it here to share. Feel free to post it to your blog. I sent the email to my family and my mom told me this morning that she had read it and had sent it on because it made it easy to understand what your liver actually does and why its important to do what you can to take care of it.
