Let me tell you a (picture) story that's based on recent events from my life.  See if you can tell it back to me in words, please!  Once upon a time... 

 
Something that I don't like to talk about a lot or to many people, for that matter, is that I have been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease.  It's a chronic condition that is, often, misunderstood and that has symptoms that are unpleasant to talk about, even at the best of times.

It took me a while but I finally figured out how to fit everything I wanted to plant into the limited garden space that we have!

Hello, my name is Denine ("Hi Denine...") and I am an addict.  Two years ago, after I bought a Magic Bullet blending system, I started experimenting with various combinations of fruits and vegetables.  
Now, I am hooked... on smoothies.  I can't go a day without one.  If I do, I get really anxious and start to think of how I can get my fix.
