Jo’s NFC team the Redskins is ranking higher, they have friendly discussions about hi-lights and low-lights every Monday! TJ and I along with our girls joined TJ’s family for “Cousin’s Weekend” in Massanutten, Virginia. It was a first time visit for 8 out of 9 of us. We took turns cooking and played lots of games! From the house we rented, we saw several dear, and a pair of Eastern Blue Birds up close. We visited the nearby Grand Caverns which was beautiful natural wonder, and the cave’s constant 54 ˚ was perfect since it was around freezing all weekend!

Megan has been spending some quality time with each of her parents, her mom turned 92 in October and in advance of her Dad celebrating his 92nd birthday in December, they made a point to have a Father-Daughter trip!

Tasty Recipe

Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies

• 1 ripe banana, mashed • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree • 2 large eggs • 1/2 cup peanut butter • 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted

• 1/2 cup almond meal • 1/2 tsp baking powder • 1/2 tsp baking soda • 1/8 tsp salt • 2 tsp Vietnamese Cinnamon (5% Oil) • 1/4 tsp Frontier allspice • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips • 1/2 cup dried cranberries and cherries

“I’m standing for longer periods of time with less pain.” All of the therapists, techs and admins were excellent. When I came here for my right Achilles tendon I could not walk down the stairs unless both feet were on the same step. I was in constant pain especially after standing for ten minutes or more. I also had constant swelling and pain even in the bed. At the end of therapy, I can now go down the steps the normal way. I’m standing for longer periods of time with less pain, and the swelling and inflammation has decreased immensely. The laser treatment was great! It did help a lot. - DELLISA T.

• 2 tsp vanilla extract • 3 tbsp maple syrup • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats • 1/2 cup oat flour, ground

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. In a mixing bowl stir together mashed banana, pumpkin, eggs, peanut butter, coconut oil, vanilla and maple syrup until well combined. Add in oats, oat flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, Vietnamese cinnamon, allspice, chocolate chips and dried fruit; stir to combine. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to harden. Drop cookies by spoonfuls on prepared baking sheet. They won’t expand much, so feel free to press them down slightly, and make them as uniform as possible to ensure even baking.
