Me Mar 26, 2014 My uncle called me today wanting advice on how to handle his low blood sugar. Nice to have someone in the "older" generation respect the fact that I'm knowledgeable on a subject. He has been eating better since January and has been having low blood sugar. I told him he needs to have his Dr adjust his medicine. His medicine was prescribed while he was eating whatever he wanted and now it needs to be adjusted.

Good Things I did for me

Stayed in calorie range

Worked out with Angie

Zumba

Seems you have a lot of calving happening. How large was grandma's farm? Do you still live there?

It only seems like a lot because I'm writing about 1982, 1990, 1992, 2004, and 2014. Also its more than just Grandma's cows. Its also my Uncles Butch and Chuck between the 3 of them they probably farm about 1000 acres. Grandma probably had in the 80's and 90's about 20 cows. I live in hour 1/2 to the south in Kansas City.
