I love octopus. Me again with the Blue Zone. I wonder how much of these fasts that you do, are another reason that people in Greece live longer. And the fact that the young people are coming back to the old ways is, I think, fabulous. If I saw that my grandparents lived till they were 90+ and were still fit and lively, I would want a bit of that and if it meant not eating processed stuff and keeping to a calendar that told me what to eat (making it easier) I am sure I would do it.<br />Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-6401563351214811742018-02-21T01:27:05.740-08:002018-02-21T01:27:05.740-08:00May be that is why my favorite countries are Gree...May be that is why my favorite countries are Greece and Italy.Yaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181961536405061470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-9168673714202240562018-02-20T22:48:20.965-08:002018-02-20T22:48:20.965-08:00Yael has a point there.

I love how your good food brings young and old together. The fire place is another bonus!<br />Greeting Maria xMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01525028325800849416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-39439769889769103742018-02-20T21:45:27.359-08:002018-02-20T21:45:27.359-08:00maintaining the tradition is something that gives ...maintaining the tradition is something that gives more peace of mind,sometimes I am sorry that things are different here.Yaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181961536405061470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-8737995781519209032018-02-20T12:20:43.358-08:002018-02-20T12:20:43.358-08:00I used to.

Only I never seem to have the time to go. <br />And with hubby working all hours seven days a week for many years it just didn’t seem fair to wake him to go to church <br />God must understand. We have had a blessed life really so no wrath here. <br />Well not as yet. Maybe I shouldn’t remind him lol angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367100990792829157noreply@blogger.com
