Farm Town

This game on Facebook.
Yeah. I might be a little addicted to it.
I ceased playing all other games while I build my farm.
I'm on level 29 now. Working on getting to level 30 because I want a greenhouse.
What is so cool about this game is that you get to decorate your farm however you want.
If you look in the Farmtown Forum, you will find a couple threads where people show off their farms.
Some people have done amazing things with their farms. Amazing.
My gripe is that the higher up you get and the bigger your farm, the more buggy it seems to get.

Low Glycemic Index Foods

According to a new study from The Cochrane Collaboration, an independent health-research organization, people on diets that call for fiber-rich, complex-carb-loaded foods like lentils, sweet potatoes, and apples lost a little over two pounds more in five weeks, compared with people on low-fat or other types of diets. These foods rank low on the glycemic index (GI), which means they’re less likely to cause blood sugar spikes and leave you feeling hungry.

Beautious Day!

Beautiful spring weather this late afternoon/evening. One of the stops today was to Mudhole Bay. I think we need to go there more often. It's gorgeous there. The pelicans wer visiting this afternoon. They are turds. They never swim close enough to get decent pictures but as soon as you walk away, they move in. Grrr.
