Grace Notes

Yes, it’s true. Last Tuesday I allowed my chiropractor to insert needles all over my head, neck, and shoulders. Guess what, I loved it!
My neck pain has been getting worse these past few months, and my chiropractor says that it’s because my neck muscles are so tense that somehow my neck is getting jammed down. So I finally asked her if I could try something else and she suggested acupuncture. It didn’t hurt at all. I mean, the needles that were put in my head pinched a little, but skin on your head is sensitive anyway. After the needles were inserted, I laid face down for 15 minutes and then there were taken out. At the end of the session, I was so relaxed. I have to have 2 more sessions until she’ll start correcting the neck problem again. I would definately suggest acupuncture for anybody experiencing severe muscle pain. It made me feel so much better and I’m really looking forward to my next session. I just wish I would have had this done sooner.

Now that the wedding is over, time to get back to more important things, like my garden. I’ve been neglecting it for far too long. Thankfully, Kurt has been doing a lot of the watering for me. Weeding, however, is another story. The temperature has been over 100 degrees all week, and yesterday’s heat index was 111. The tomatoes will just have to learn how to live with the weeds. I’m not going to die weeding my garden. What I am most excited about right now are the 8 watermelons I have growing out back. That is if they survived Joe Boeke using them as stepping stones. Two have split open(not from Joe), but the rest are looking very yummy.
The other piece of important news is that grandma and grandpa Garard have sold their lake house in Iowa and are in the process of purchasing a 5 bedroom house here in Enid. The best part is that it has an in-ground pool with a diving board. Sounds like the perfect way to escape the heat!
