Laughter

Laughter is an instant vacation. ~Milton Berle

I hope to be on vacation all year.

Buon Natale e Buon Anno a tutti!

Anise and Walking

Anise prevents wrinkles

and

Walking exercises the brain.

Anise ~ according to Dr. Oz.

Walking ~ according to an "ongoing study which spans 20 years….." (San Jose Mercury News, Wed, 1 December 2010) "The more people moved, the higher their brain volume, a marker for brain health….. For healthy adults, walking at least 72 blocks a week (about six miles) can preserve brain volume and slow the risk of cognitive decline. Cognitively impaired adults needed to walk at least 58 city blocks a week (about five miles) to achieve the same results."

SO…...

I'm going for a walk and then coming home to make some biscotti with anise seeds.
