Happy 4th!

Hello World,

Today is America's birthday. Happy Birthday America! This country has a lot of problems, we are racist as heck, oil is everywhere, we have two wars going on, we are greedy and self-centered, and losing our grip on God's way of doing and thinking. BUT Man do I love America. We are talented, goal oriented, multi-cultural, we have the best universities in the world, we are innovative and above all ANYTHING is possible. I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that an african american man is President of the United States. No matter what you think of Obama and his policies or how the country is fairing, you have got to be proud that our country...yes America was able to look past race for just one night and elect someone different. Even the fact that Hillary Clinton was in the running for the democratic party was amazing. A woman. That is amazing. Even if it never happens again, that was a proud moment not just for the minority population but for the Country as a whole. There is more that I could say about this great country but we will leave it at that.

Lil Fred got bit by a spider for real this time. I freaked out. I was headed to the emergency room when I called my mom and she told me about the plantain weed and tea tree oil. She and my dad used this when they were both bit by a brown recluse (spelling??) spider. I don't think Bug got bit by that kind. I have only seen a few of those regular wood spiders so their remedy should definitely work. I got on the internet to see what I could find about this type of home remedy. There were tons of articles about people who had used this plant. I was amazed at the fact that it worked. We are so "medicine" wired now that home remedies seem to be ineffective. But according to my short research, this plant should do the trick. They say that there are four kinds of this plant that grows in the U.S. but the most popular kind grows around dandelions. Okay, I see dandelion weeds all the time. I went out into the yard and did not see one dandelion. I saw several plant that looked like the three other varieties, but I wanted to find a dandelion so that I know that I had the right one. For some reason every home I walked passed had freshly cut grass. WHAT! not one dandelion did I find. So I packed up the truck and headed on the search....found some dandelion in a park and grabbed as many leaves as I could. I already had tea tree oil. So I put it on the bite and within an hour his bandaid was full of the poison from the spider and the skin seemed to be healing. I am not kidding. I was so excited. I was so glad that I didn't have to go to the E.R. and spend money there and on whatever antibiotic they were going to give up that bug is allergic too. YEAH for HOME REMEDIES. I'll let you all know how it goes with the healing process.

Things are about the same with my aunt San.

Well, I am going to pop in a dvd and do some ab work and enjoy the rest of this holiday. I'll write later world.
