Tyler, Texas Hello Reader, I know Independence Day is still a little over a week away, but lots of folks like to plan early. So rather than wait until the last minute to share all our Fourth of July resources -- which might suit my more spontaneous readers just fine -- I've decided to send this link list today.

What I'm reading this week:What we're eating this week:Our diets have undergone a major shift lately, thanks to all the compelling medical research my husband's been reading in Michael Greger's new book, How Not to Age. So for the past four weeks, we've eaten essentially the same breakfast every morning: half an apple (daily red delicious increases life expectancy by 4 years), a handful of blueberries (a daily serving reduces risk of Alzheimer's by a whopping 76%), a half-serving of nuts (Β½ oz daily reduces all-cause mortality by 15%), plus a piece of Ezekiel bread toast (helps fight colon cancer and heart disease) sprinkled with cayenne pepper and turmeric (decreases inflammation) and white sesame seeds (may reduce cholesterol and triglycerides) and, when we have it available, ripe avocado (because healthy fats are good for your brain). On the podcast this week:Progress on last week's goals:I made decent progress on my goals last week. I β finished 4 wood burning projects, β refurbished 2 garden statues, β added ollas to more potted plants (the ones I put in our outdoor potted lemon trees have worked great, even when I leave town in the scorching heat and don't water for a week), β took photos of my book-binding process, and β organized the upper cabinets in my laundry room (though β my lower cabinets still need attention). Personal goals for this week:
