Don't forget to take your pred!

I forgot to take mine yesterday morning, and by lunchtime I could barely walk. By tea time I couldn't get out of the chair or lift my arms.  It certainly reminded me why I have to take it!

    I remember when I lived with the Hutterites on a farm in Canada for a summer, they also had a huge communal afternoon tea with lots of goodies.  They rang the whistle and everyone would come in from the fields, enjoy tea and cheese, bread, cookies, fruit and then head back out to work.  It was between lunch and dinner.  I put on a lot of weight that summer!
