Carol and Jan in Colorado

We just returned from our reunion in Durango.  It was wonderful to spend time with Carol and her friends from LA,  Greta, Karen & Shay.  John is enchanted with Carol. She told some stories of her NP experiences and I think he almost peed himself from laughing.  Carol and I had a lovely day on the train. Carol may tell it differently. I will let her tell her side.  Here are some pictures.

Daydreaming today...

I am sitting here daydreaming or pondering lots of stuff.  I took some pictures earlier on a walk around my neighborhood of some hollyhocks and a pretty flowering tree under which the hollyhocks were growing.  I took John back with me later so he could see them too. I downloaded them to my computer and found 3 more pictures I want to share.  One is of me and my sister when we were teenagers, singing for a local OK radio station. Another 2 pictures are of John's daughter and 2 granddaughters about 15 years ago. Finally, the last is of 2 of my great grandchildren, Abigail and Dominic.  I just think the children and little people

are so cute.

According to Carol, "You must kiss a fish before you clean and it."

Blood Concepts... Infusions of young blood may reverse effects of ageing... studies suggest

Giving old mice young blood reversed age-related declines in brain function, muscle strength and stamina... researchers say

Researchers in the US are closing in on a therapy that could reverse harmful ageing processes in the brain, muscles, heart and other organs. Hopes have been raised by three separate reports released by major journals on Sunday that demonstrate in experiments on mice the dramatic rejuvenating effects of chemicals found naturally in young blood.

Infusions of young blood reversed age-related declines in memory and learning, brain function, muscle strength and stamina, researchers found. In two of the reports, scientists identified a single chemical in blood that appears to reverse some of the damage caused by ageing.

Doug Melton, a stem cell scientist at Harvard, said: "This should give us all hope for a healthier future. We all wonder why we were stronger and mentally more agile when young. There seems to be little question that, at least in animals, GDF11 has an amazing capacity to restore ageing muscle and brain function.
