Long time, no see

It's been a long time since I have blogged. This year has gone very fast. I haven't had much free time with my business and homeschooling the kids. Now that the economy is going south, I've got a little more free time because I have fewer customers.

We're still in Asheville, and are doing well. This past summer, we discovered that I had mercury, arsenic, aluminum and lead poisoning and we're now taking strides to treat that. I'm finally making strides in returning to good health.

We have a wonderful church and I've made some good friends. I've not been able to get out much to go to services, but since we've started working on the poisoning, that has changed and I'm now doing much better.

We've gotten a new cat and 25 chickens. We're hoping for rabbits and honeybees in the spring. We've got the garden plot started and we're planning another garden for Spring. We're working towards having an urban homestead.

We got my parents moved up here and they finally settled in last week. The house in Mount Olive still hasn't sold. We're praying it sells soon.

It's cold here and there's snow on the ground. We are keeping a fire going constantly now. Last winter, we didn't get the first snow until January.

The kids are growing like weeds. I'll have to get some pictures and post them soon.

Your website is the story of my life!!! I'd love to email you to see how you are doing - I live in NC too. I homeschool my two daughters. I'm beginning a new life - no grains, no dairy, no sugar, no corn or soy or white potato (I've eaten like this for 3 years). I've gotten treatment for eating disorders, B12 treatment for a deficiency and surgery for extensive endometriosis scarring. Anyway, if you'd like to email chat sometime, my email is mimosagrace@gmail.com. Thanks so much for posting your story - it was so interesting to read!
