Littlesister, sorry to hear about dh health problems.
Daisy, I tried to post in today’s report about your experience in Croatia but having trouble with posting there so doing it here. Too bad you had a cold although things don’t usually happen at the most opportune times. It was a very good article and I am very interested to hear more. I’d like to read your 30 pages of notes- maybe another book?
Off topic but about the book you read on the plane on the way to Croatia- there were a couple of characters who tapped maple trees in the summer for something to drink. I don’t think that was realistic because the season for tapping trees is in the spring when nights are cold and days are warm enough to make the sap start rising. Later in the spring when the rains come the sap tastes bad and then in summer it stops. I believe that drinking the fresh sap does have health benefits. When I read I a shtf type book I try to consider things I haven’t thought of.
