Breakfast

Breakfast was 4 apples, 4 sprigs of Swiss chard, 2 stalks of celery, 10 small carrots.








It actually started years ago, when Jack LaLanne exercised on TV and my Mother watched and joined in while she lived in Florida.  She listened to his long infomercials (I think that is the word).  She bought the magical juicer to keep you living longer because you eek out the substance of the fruit and vegetables, and that makes you healthy.  He certainly did live longer and look great as long as he lived.  When she died, I got the juicer.  It sat in my closet for a while...  for a few years.

Then Cassy came over.  "Mom, you HAVE to see this movie, about this man who found this great way to solve all these illnesses we have!"

I watched the movie.  It was amazing.  He was showing us how fruits and vegetables have the nutrients that our body needs to....heal itself, to remain young!  Not Jack LaLanne


She tries to get me to buy this state of the art juicer, but I already have one, hidden in the closet.  I bring it out.  I use it.  It is old, but it works.  Every time I use it, I think of Mom.  And Jack LaLanne.  Wish I had his body...
