Summer activities

My herb garden is surviving the rain although I've had to prop up some of them like the valerian and angelica stalks. The slugs look large and healthy this year; I'm having nightmares about them.
Saturday I made myself proud by preparing my first tincture from the comfrey leaves. Then I got scared and didn't make one from the St. Johns Wort. Are there any experts on this out there in blog land?
Summer weekends have filled up until there are almost none left to just do nothing and enjoy the backyard under my new pagoda built by my oldest son. Just wait til I learn how to post pictures on this site; have you seen pictures of my grandchildren?
We went to York Beach, Maine last weekend and although everyone else had rain we had a beautiful sunny day and I still have sunburn to prove it. Next weekend back to Alton, NH to visit with my mom and family; looks like it'll be a washout but at least I won't be in the office.
At 61 with no retirement in sight, I have set my mind to making a good living with a social marketing company, Shaklee, because I've been using the products for almost 30years and have sent other people to my upline to buy products during those years.
About 3 years ago I knew I had to do something to be able to enjoy life after 65 and after discussing this with my daughter we decided to go for it. It has been a lot of fun, sometimes frustrating, but always there is a good feeling of helping people to be healthier. Once I made up my mind to really focus on building a business, I have had a paycheck every month; the first one was about $32. lol They are bigger now but not enough to leave my job just yet. Meanwhile I still have fun going to meetings and conventions and just talking to people about healthy living.
So, last month I joined the local gym and I'm stronger already; I can't wait to see what I'll be like in 6 months.
