What we've learned about retiring early, health, technology, RVing and an active lifestyle.
It’s definitely a chore to find a family Doctor in Cochrane these days. We have found Doctors accepting patients in a NW Calgary area. After our first visit, they ordered a round of tests for both of us. Della came through fine. Me not so much. First though, my comments are not a criticism of … Read more
The pandemic has taught us the value of fresh, nutritional, unhandled vegetables. We saw supermarkets with little or no product on the shelves. Our aeroponic garden was always available for fresh salads.
Della and I have been retired for 7 years. We quickly learned how isolating retirement can be. Of course, the pandemic 2 years ago did nothing to help the situation. Fortunately, we quickly saw the issue and took action. We started volunteering, we got seasonal employment as campground hosts and we got involved in the … Read more
We often take advantage of the medical presentations coming out of the U of C. The one from a couple of years ago recently intrigued me. Pre pandemic we heard similar information at a Juice Plus presentation. We’ve learned that we have to be our own health advocates so we attend as many presentations as … Read more
This is day 10 of our Shred. Wondering how we did? For us, shredding is mostly about feeling better rather than weight loss. We’ve not had indigestion for the last 10 days. That’s big since it happens regularly and affects our sleep. When I’m not active and don’t eat well, my joints hurt. Shredding is … Read more
Della and I are semi-retired. We have a summer contract as hosts of a campground. I am responsible for maintenance and Della the client experience. Our winters are much less active.
Both Della and I took a moment to pause when we heard of the death of Dr. DuBois today. We heard him speak several times and we both think he changed the course of our lives. We first were moved by his commitment to humanity. He was one of the first to recognize and treat … Read more
We often hear I take vitamins so I don’t need Juice Plus+. With the help of Dr. Smokey Santillo, I’ll do my best to explain why that’s not true. Dr. Santillo is the developer of Juice Plus+. He did so to help his father’s nutritional needs during his bought of Cancer. Dr. Santillo recommends that … Read more

We planted in June and harvested Sep 15th. We had many meals and giveaways during that time too. Still, it was the best garden we’ve had. It was a slow start mind you. We started the garden indoors then transplanted. It was a cold spring and they seedlings didn’t survive. But a quick re-seeding produced … Read more
