Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured.. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL:Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, were found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

Sister Weekend

This past weekend Kristina and I attended the Scrapbook Expo in SLC. As always we had a great time. Over 200 vendors with lots of new product, stickers, paper, embellishments, and on and on and on.

Only five of us made it to this one. Usually we have over 10 of us together. The small number was still lots of fun and great laughs. At dinner I don't think my sister and I have laughed so hard. It was one of those nights when everything just seemed so funny.

I must say that I out did my self this time. Not sure if it was the small group or the fact that I wanted to stay page for page with Kristina. I usually only to about 4-6 layouts over the weekend. (I know slow right) But this time I was able to finish 9. That's right 9. Yeah for me.


I am already looking forward to the next one in Sept (11-12) for those who want to join us. After all the more the merrier.

Kristina, Me, Julie, Michelle, & Mindy

Like all good thing, it must come to an end.

Sunny San Diego

Last week Rogers had a business trip / vacation on Impac. Each year Impac hosts a trip that includes all employees and their significant others. Lucky Rogers, he got to take his wife. More like lucky me I got to go this time instead of just sending him and then hearing about all the beautiful things he was able to see.

This trip was in La Jolla CA which is a stone throw away from San Diego.

We arrived at the Torry Pines resort (golf fans, this is a PGA course)(very expensive). It was beautiful. We checked in and headed to Lunch, buffet style and very yummy. Then Rogers was off to a meeting for a few hours, I headed back to the room for the start of some R&R. That evening we had dinner at the Pacifica Cafe in Del Mar CA. It was near the ocean and the view of the sunset was beautiful; however I could not get my camera out of my purse before it was gone.

The next morning Rog and I was able to have breakfast together before he went off to meetings, 8am - 4pm. This left time for the girls to get together and check out down town La Jolla. I was able to get a picture of Mission Bay and some palm trees. We found a candy store that had all of the old time candy I remember from when I was little. We did lots of walking and checking out all of the little shops, it was so green and pretty their, especially after leaving Utah where it was 8 degrees when we left.

Once the meetings were over Impac had a closing social (drinks and reception food), a few couples (7) decided to find a restaurant so that we could get some dinner and we ended up at a pizza place near the San Diego temple. It was so beautiful all lit up white in the dark.

Next morning (Saturday) was our play day. We ended up going to Sea World with Greg and Andrea Smith & Chip and Becky Page. We had a great day running from place to place to make sure that we were able to catch all of the shows. The funniest thing at Sea World was that as we were leaving the Shamu show a Seagull decided that my head would make a great place for him to take a dump. Thanks to Andrea and her not having a weak stomach she was able to get all the bird poop out of my hair and off my shoulder. That evening the six of us headed to the GasLight district of San Diego and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. My first time there and it was lots of fun.

I could have stayed a few more days but needless to say we were back on a plane Sunday and heading home. It was a fun trip and some nice time to just relax and spend some time with Rogers.

Happy Valentines Day

Rog was gone to Oregon/Washington last week on a business trip. He got back into town Thursday so I took that day off of work and drove to the airport to pick him up. He got in early enough, this trip that we were able to head into SLC for dinner. Of course we went to Rodizo's. If you have not eaten there it is in Trolley Square and you really should try it out, they have the best food and a drink called Brazilian Lemonade (it is lime and it is the best). Anyone out there know how to make it I would love for you to share the recipe with me.

While he was gone we had one of the big snow storms that we have had this past couple of weeks. When I left for work the morning after the storm our poor little tree out front looked like it was done for. I took a picture to show Rogers. I was for sure we were going to have to purchase another tree this spring, but after the snow melted it seems to be ok.

Yesterday was Valentines day. Rogers sent me flowers at work they are so pretty red and white and pink. This husband of mine knows me so well. I love flowers. Since he was gone all week I asked him if he would plan a romantic date for us. Of course he did, and it was wonderful. He made me this huge bubble bath with candles and music, locked the dog out and gave me some time just to myself to relax. While I was doing that he was making a candle light dinner. It turned out wonderful. He made BBQ ribs with rice and a veggie. When we got done eating I asked him if he wanted to dance with me. As those of you who know me well. I don't dance, maybe the word is I can't dance. Anyway we turned on some music and danced around the kitchen. Then he took me to the movie and bought me popcorn and a drink.

Do you like our fancy candle sticks?

I love that my new camera takes nice pictures (even of candle light)

Oh yes and don't forget even Buddee got a rib bone for Valentines Day.

Rog~Thanks for making Valentines Day all about me. I love you very much.

Time is not on my side

Could someone just give me time alone to work on my blog and my scrapbooking. I am so behind I think I'm first. Here's to catching up.

Many of you know that I am a HUGE fan of digital scrapbooking. I DVR Scrapbook Memories every Monday so that I can write down the new trick they are teaching using Elements. Rogers noticed the other night that I have quite the list that I have not watched. My 2009 scrapbook is only complete to April, yep you guessed it 8 months behind. This year the new thing that is on most of the scrapbooking blogs is a project called 365. It is more or less a scrapbook journal. You are supposed to take a picture a day and then scrap a layout per week. Great concept; don't you think? I had this BIG idea that I would do that because I have not kept a journal since my mission. Everyone told me, when I was going through chemo that I should be keeping a journal of all the experiences I was going through. I started and then didn't finish. Looking back today I really wish that I would have done that. That was me getting off on a tangent. The point is. I know that journals are important not only for our family history but for us to look back on.

So you are thinking that I am doing that right? Well I am starting this week. I will have to play some catch up for the first two weeks. I will post what I have when I finish the page.

I hope that all of you scrapbookers (digital or regular) try this out. We are not that far behind.


For Rogers birthday back in November I gave him tickets to the Jazz game. They played the New Orleans Hornets on January 7th and we were there.

Rog and I at the game

Ladies this on is for you. Seems like everyone loves that Kyle Korver

Paul Milsap is Rogers favorite player. He calls him his boy.

Williams is good, but he knows

This is Big Budda from the morning news show. He is such a funny dude

Way behind - AGAIN

As you can see I am way behind in posting. My plan this week is to catch up. So keep checking back this time next week I will be current.

As many of you know I got a new camera for Christmas. I have been trying to get used to using it and figuring out all of its fancy techniques. Therefore if the pictures don't look the best you will know that I am still a work in progress.

We got Deven an excavating kit for Christmas it was a dinosaur and you had to chip it out of this rock and then you were able to put the bones together. It was pretty fun and turned out being a fun project for Rogers and Deven.

The fun begins.

This is the rock that was full of T-Rex bones.

Deven makes the first Chip.

Rogers taking a turn with the chisel and hammer.

They just love when I make them stop what they are doing so I can get a picture

Don't forget Buddee. He has to be involved in what is going on.
