Hey Patti You are doing a GREAT job making learning and education fun for your boys. There is so much to learn like science world, kitsilano looking at stars in the ceiling (i forgot what it is called, my school took my class there one year). At camp we learned to identify which fir trees they are e tc. Nature sure is a great outdoor classroom. Have a great day. Got to go and get ready to go to work. Field trips are always fun. blessings Debra

Dear Patti It is so wonderful that you were able to go there with the boys ,the pictures are wonderful .Your picture is lovely too. I remember us going down to the eating place there for breakfast with some of the family.Has your old home been changed much in the outside appearance.? You will have to bring the boys out this way one day. The park where the swimming pool is has been changed quite a bit,if the weather would just warm up a bit they could have fun there. I have had a long day so I must get to bed two medical appointments and the prayer service at Alderbrook to-night. Love you all lots Grandma

Wow! That takes me back a loong way! I remember my mother’s panic when my little sister got them sixty-odd years ago. No Google then, so she had to wait for the Doc. Would you believe they made house calls back then? Seems the little critters lay their eggs in fresh veggies in the fields among other places. No matter how carefully you wash the lettuce, etc., a few may sneak by. Yucky they may be, but with a bit of meds they do leave fairly quickly. Kids and bugs — it all comes with the territory.

After everything else that’s been going on its just good for a laugh — natures’ pratfall.

Be blessed!

Its gross for sure, but growing up in the country not uncommon, and very easy to get rid of, the medication really does it in one dose. Here in Uganda we are told we all should do a deworming every 6 months… not very good at doing that however but trust me as a kid in the country not something rare. I could give you some horrible African stories, but let me tell you, you and your readers want to keep your lunch hee hee…

Love ya girl..

Dear Patti I know How you must have felt when you first found out. I had six children when I discovered mine had them. Joanne was living with us at the time and no way was she going to take the medicine. I got it down her and then she thru up all over the place and your Mom said “and you made me clean it up. I had not quite remembered that part of it. I don’t think the diarea is caused by the worms. I feel for you .I don’t remember having to do all the disinfecting you are needing to do but that is probably because you have had to do quite a bit of that in the past. I wish my knees and legs were quite a bit better ,I would like so much to be able to help you. I was just reading some of the things that I have been suppose to be doing such as more icing,more resting if I want the swelling to go down quicker. I have finished my physio at the hospital but am suooose to be carrying on with the exersizes at home .My trouble is I see so many things that need to be done after two months of recuperation that I forget the time until my knee starts hurting. I thank the Lord it is overwith sooner than I expected. It has been good to hear from you again but I am sorry it is another THING. Praying for you lots and Love you a “BUNCH ” Grandma

As far as natural remedies go, black walnut & activated charcoal will get rid of them…we had it in our house too & we do natural remedies around here. Also they (the worms) do not like peppermint oil…soooo….die worms die…I put it on Taylor’s underwear & around her anus…gross, I know, but it worked….good luck…been there, done that…

yup been there had them…all of us…treated them….easy to get rid of…the kids pick it up easily and they spread at night ok I just threw up in my mouth a bit…SOOO gross… I remember that we had it as kids…and what my mom did to get rid of them…NOT saying here…but gross… I figured everyone deals with them at one time or other! as germ-free as we try to be we are still surrounded by nature and things that make us throw up in our mouths!! the other thing that you were relieved to not have…. well one of my girls seems to pick that up everytime she visits her every other weekend home..so not impressed!

love you!

This is soooo funny and gross, but I’m glad you’re able to laugh . My mom was just suggesting to us to deworm, just in case,as the boys are on the farm at our church all the time and are around horses. She told me about auntie Elaine having worms when she was young and grandpa would annually give all the family this horrible tasting deworming medicine after that because he was so grossed out. I was wondering what to even look for and now I know! Thank you
Big hugs sent your way!
