Mrs. Claudia Taylor Johnson passed away yesterday. She loved wildflowers and made preserving their natural beauty for future generations one of her causes in her later years. Here is the wildflower website. By the way, Mrs. Johnson was also know as Lady Bird Johnson, wife of President Lyndon Johnson. I hope her legacy continues.

I had quoted her in a paper I wrote for a correspondence course I took in the early 1990s called ‘Writing for Children’s Magazines’. (I did get my diploma, but never wrote anything! I took it at a time when Sean was little and my mind and energy were wrapped around him).

Today we are venturing down to my mom’s. We haven’t seen her for 3 weeks. I was hoping she’d come out here for a visit soon. I do feel better today. I am keeping a food diary to record how I feel and what I eat. I think the probiotics are helping me. Thanks for your suggestions too.
