What I take every day – double dose – Omega’s by Juice Plus
A couple years ago – The Juice Plus Company introduced a new product.
” The Omega Blend + ” OMEGA’S 3 – 5- 6 – 7 – 9 .
I turn 70 years old in a couple days – and – I am doing what I can to retain memory – both short term and long term. I do not like the ” FISH TASTE” of Omega’s on the market. So when this came out – I was delighted to find out that first – there is no fish taste or after taste , and the win – win for me is it is made out of ALGAE – which is where the fish get the omega from !
I am strict on the fish I eat – no farm raised and only Salmon from North Atlantic . Mercury is a major concern for me – so ALGAE – ( they have their own Algae farms ) was the selling point !
The Omega’s 3 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 9 – Orange flavor!
Today – I feel that I am doing the most I can – writing this blog keeps my mind sharp
( after all – I am not a TECHIE – so remembering is essential in Blogging )
If you would like more information – yes my wife is a distributor and a guiding force in my life being a certified health coach – you can contact through email at her site : http://www.sf.juiceplus.com and also search the site for research – video’s and information !!!!
I hope this helps you out – I know it has helped me and by the way – the capsules do dissolve after taking them – but if you do not like swallowing capsules – you can open and sip the fluid which to me tastes like a orange creamsicle !
My thought in life – think young – smile – be involved with your grand kids – and look for the positives and let the negatives roll off your back !
Every day in my life – I look for what is funny and positive – keeping a open mind – I avoid News Channels – seeking information on my own.
I have come to maintain my healthy living style with my wife – Sherry – who is a certified Health Coach – thank goodness for that.
This June will be our 37 th. anniversary – seems like only yesterday – and next week I turn 70 and in two months she also turns 70.
In marriage as in life – compromise is a must – as is laughter – and in our case travel and family – most important to us is family. We have a close group of a few friends – trying to get together every four or five months.Since we are scattered about over a 400 mile range – sometimes that can be a little daunting.
Our family where we live consists of Five grand daughters and the newest – and only Boy ! As you can guess – he has all our hearts. Both mother’s and their mother – whom is called MORMOR ( Swede for Mother’s Mother) promote healthy living and eating. ALL are on the product called Juice Plus – as well as the Omega’s – from Algae – not fish oil – and try to be gluten free.
The oldest does not eat meat – and has signed a letter of intent to play soccer at the University of Lynchburg in Va. We have two more soccer players – a gymnastic – who all the time is doing gymnastic moves – a Equestrian – and a Ballet and Modern dancer.
They are very important to us and I can honestly say – their youth keeps us young in body and mind.
June 25 th. 1982
The years have flown by – we are now watching our grand children going off to college. But – the legacy that we brought forth almost 13 years ago – has been instilled in each and every one of them as well as their parents.
Today – we are living life to the plus one day at a time – walking 3 plus miles a day – doing shreds ( getting rid of toxins ) going dairy free and gluten as much as we can.
And – for me – sharing good thoughts – smiles and interesting family – friends and my life blogs.
My motto through life :
” Do all the small things well and they in turn will take care of the larger things ” ! Hope you enjoyed the read – HGD !!!!
We had to be at the library at 3:00 PM. on Thursday –
We had stopped at Marcus & Tammy’s to pick up library books
We had the twins and Bode –
and then it started – lightening and thunder.
Good morning
We drove the short distance –
I was going to let them all out in front of the library !
I pulled right into a space right in front of the entrance –
Then literally –
ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE !
The rains came so hard – going sideways with the wind.
It was like a fire hose had been trained on us !
Windshield wipers could not keep up.
The wind picked up – we tuned to 103 TOP news radio – DC.
Gusts of 60 MPH – torrential rain – take cover –
Then the lightening picked up –
Sherry checked her google weather app –
Instead of showing rain –
it was SOLID YELLOW LIGHTENING strikes.
The kids got scared –
the twins went to the floor in the back seat –
Bode came up front to Sherry’s lap –
We could not see out of the car for more than 10 feet!
A head light no more than 20 feet away. The car with the head light
We calmed the kids down – telling them we had rubber tires beneath us.
There was no chance of getting out and running into the library –
The lightening and thunder was continuous.
Cassidy on floor in back
Cassidy got real quiet she was so scared.
Taylor comforting Cassidy
Taylor clutched her build a bear – talking to Cassidy –
telling her not to touch metal –
we would be okay because we had tires !
Where we parked Library with roof over hang
We were parked right in front – the over hang was just across the sidewalk
What was really scary was lightening would hit –
A very loud crack and then the wind –
Bending those trees you see almost over touching the sidewalk.
The park right across the street
Legacy park was right across the street –
about a football field away –
This is a 15 acre park –
They closed it right after the storm quit
TREES WERE DOWN !
Legacy Park
Branches were everywhere – it was a mess and so close to us in the car
When it was over after almost 40 minutes –
we went inside.
It continued a soft rain –
We got home and I discovered shingles from our roof in the yard
The flag – flag pole and the bracket had been ripped right off the porch.
Small branches were everywhere
The top 12 feet of our neighbors tree came off-
and lacked the width of a finger
from going through his living room window.
On our walk this morning –
this pond came up 3 to 4 feet
and the feeder streams ares still rushing water into it.
Legacy ParkLegacy park
Less than 300 yards from where we sat in the car.
Legacy Park

Some of these trees – the roots were bigger than garage doors !
We have not had much rain in the last two months –
and I think that weakened the root systems where the soil
was extremely dried out !
So much for all those in Government who say
” THERE IS NO CLIMATE CHANGE ” !
I hope you liked reading my Blog and what happened yesterday.

One of our adventures- Sherry Fitzsimmons – Cindy North McBride – William McBride and Tom Fitzsimmons on the inter coastal water way off North Carolina.
For the last 12 years – we have taken trips together – every other year in most cases.
We have been to Spain – Gibraltar – Morocco – we have toured N.H. – Mass. and Maine. We have been to the Niagara Falls , Ontario Canada wine region – tasting wine and brews !
We have revisited our roots back in NWPA and SWNY – playing a week of golf on the courses we played years and years ago. You see – we were neighbors and friends 37 years ago ! Then they moved South to N.C. and later we transferred South to NVA – all the while staying in close contact – visiting on vacations.
On Turtle Bay Oahu
We have visited Oahu together- covering the whole island in 10 days.
Playing golf in the mountains close to where they filmed Jurassic Park. We have stayed at their house in N.C. and played the courses around them.
Buck ( William ) and Tom riding the inter coastal water way.
We are planing and talking future trips – ( IRELAND ) back to our ancestors. Maybe a trip to Nashville – and my thoughts on Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Tenn. with a log cabin in the mountains !
Buck and Cindy in Oahu .
Now – we have committed to a trip out West – the far West as in Northern California – a drive and stay trip for 7 or 8 days ! Making our list pf places to see and when we get together – piecing all the information down – getting excited !
On the beach in North Shore Oahu.
We have now been retired for 7 years ( Sherry ) 6 years me. Sherry had a sales job ( outside ) – all of NVA – for the company she worked for for 32 years. The traffic and day to day stress was more than enough – so she started a part time job through The Juice Plus Company. When it grew – she decided at which point it was large enough to retire. At age 63 – she did it !
Today – we are able to both be retired – and will be celebrating – in the next two months – our birthdays – the big 70 !!!!
Back in NWPA- Sherry’s home – the Knizua via duct – bridge.
Red woods – Napa valley – Reno – Lake Tahoe – Sequoia’s – San Francisco – Alcatraz – Yosemite – Sonoma – Berkley – Glamping –
Just some of the things on our list – we shall see and compare. Close friends through all these years – still trying to get our other close friends to take a trip with us.
At Vanish Brewery near our home in NVA – October fest !
Where ever we go – when ever we go – there are laughs – there are adventures and sometimes golf ( we give no strokes as they are too good )
Sherry and Cindy – always something with their phones!
These two will always laugh and make us laugh – that is why we get along so well. Later this Summer – another road trip – to Northern California. A trip worth waiting for – another adventure in the making.
Stay tuned – waiting – excited – and NO STROKES – they should give us strokes! LOL
