The Frugal Farm Living life deliberately

About a month ago I got sick. I think it was the flu, because it started with fever and chills and had a cough that lasted for 2 weeks. Then I coughed sporadically for another 2 weeks. Then I caught a cold so I am currently coughing again. (Let's not mention the stomach bug that came in the middle there as well--I am ready to be healthy again!) I had heard that rubbing Vicks Vapor rub on your feet at and putting on a pair of socks makes coughs go away at night. This is the sort of advice that I hear when I am healthy and forget when I am sick. I actually remembered it this time, and I am happy to report that it works!  read more »

My parents live in Houston, which is about 2000 miles away from here. Needless to say, we don't make it down there to visit very often. We see them once or twice a year when they travel here or somewhere else in the West, but trips to Texas are few and far between. The last time we went was in 2007 and we drove. I wrote about it here and here. You'll notice some similarities between the trips because we have some favorite places that we like to go to every time.  read more »
