Shingles Vacine and Treatment

A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with shingles so I felt I should discuss this nasty virus once again.  If you ever had chicken pox, you are at risk for getting shingles and believe me, you don't want it.  Shingles is a painful rash with blisters that scab over and may take 4 weeks or more to heal.  The Read the full post…

Vegetarian Tacos are muy delicioso!

There are times when I think I could easily become a vegetarian, especially when I try a new dish that is as good as the vegetarian tacos I had at Local Lime restaurant in Little Rock and the tofu fried rice at Sai Tai here in Jonesboro.  My husband and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary this past weekend by spending Read the full post…

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on May 24, 2011 ]

Even though it is late spring, the weather has been pretty cool.  I haven’t even gotten any flowers potted because the weather has been so unpredictable and unseasonable.  The temperatures haven’t stopped my daughter Grace from swimming 4 to 6 every evening because that is what swimmers do.  Her coach did pull her out early Read the full post…
