Happy Birthday
Trent P. McDonald at Trent’s World restarted The Weekly Smile on October 15, 2018. I have a story that makes me smile, but I have had a flu for two weeks.
Autumn, my granddaughter turned one-year-old on September 28, 2018. I was so glad to be in Portland, Oregon for the occasion. We had a delightful party for her at a park. Many of her baby friends came with their parents. She had her very own birthday cake and ate chunks of the cake and the frosting.
Autumn is very observant and has a serious look on her face when she watches something new. She imitates and repeats it right away. Watching her learning new things every day puts a big smile on my face.
Her happy and easy-going temperament, hearty eating habits and friendliness bring a lot of joy in her parents’ lives and our lives.
I love you, Autumn!

Thank you so much, Robbie. My daughter did’t want a large cake and cutting it. She bought dozens of cupcakes for people and this small cake for Autumn. It’s a different idea.

I appreciate your words, Vashti! Autumn is a joy! I have her photo on my laptop screen so that I can see her every day. I’m feeling better slowly because I don’t take antibiotic. ❤ xox

Like you, I rarely take antibiotics. I usually take Echinacea, Manuka honey, orange juice, and put garlic on everything. I rarely get sick and when I do it doesn’t last. Try some or all of these natural remedies. They can’t hurt you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤ xx

I know garlic kills all the germs. Unfortunately it doesn’t agree with my stomach. I drink orange juice every day, and take a combination of herb for immune system. My cancer treatment still has an effect on my immune system. Echinacea sounds familiar. What’s the difference between Manuka honey and regular honey? I’ll write them down and see how to get them. Thank you, Vashti. ❤ xox

Echinacea is a very popular herb, and people commonly take it to help combat flu and colds. It comes from a group of flowers in the daisy family. It’s available over the counter at pharmacies, health shops, and supermarkets as teas, liquid extracts, and as capsules or pills. The doctors I worked with swore by it.
Manuka honey has more benefits than regular honey. It’s great if you have stomach issues, it improves digestive symptoms and many other issues. Buy these at a health shop and they’ll be able to answer all your questions and direct you to the best quality products. ❤
