FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE

Went like crazy at the cookout. I only wish that more people would come to those things. I have nothing to complain about, though as my pie, went zip and Roni Jean got the last piece or she wouldn't have even gotten a smiggen of it. It only made one large 9-15 pyrex pan full, used the whole 4 lbs of strawberries and the other to share with friend didn't get made at all. Oh the crust is in the fridge but nothing on top of the crust. Maybe I can make a cherry or blue berry one.

I am not a cherry eater, but many are, I just took too much cherry cough meds when I was growing up. . . so don't like it really in anything. I know that cherries are supposed to be really good for us. I may try them again one of these days to see how good they taste.

I remember as a young girl, I picked cherries from a neighbors trees for mom to make cherry pies as we had company. I picked and by the time I had a bucket full, my arms and me were all broken out with a terrible rash. Looked terrible, but Mom had me wash with Lava soap and then put that awful smelling Mennen aftershave all over. It took care of the rash as it has when I got into nettles and one time into poison Ivy. People say that I am crazy, well, I know that, but those old home remedies still work for me.

I use a lot of Lemon mixed with extra virgin olive oil ~ ~ 50/50 and it helps with the alkaline balance in our bodies. When I broke my shoulder/arm a few months back, it sure did help with other things when I couldn't take the pain meds that the doctor prescribed. The lady who gave me a massage told me to use it after the massage to help with the sore spots and also to relax the muscles. I have used it for leg/foot cramps and aid in other areas. Sometimes those old ways are the best. NO DRUGS!

God gave us the natural things to use for our health, and I am learning ~ ~ slowly, yes, but to use my brain to use these homemade things to save lives and to help others besides my self.
