Police Officer Died After Inhaling Noxious Fumes
He was released from the hospital after a few days but returned a short time later when his illness persisted. Robinson's lungs all but shut down, forcing doctors to place the father of two teenagers in a medically induced coma. He died April 4, his family said.

Homegrown Peach Baby Food
This is the first year we actually have peaches on our 4 year old peach tree. They are so juicy and delicious. We are also getting a lot of other food from our garden.
I really like to try and eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle. So having fresh fruit in the house is great.We picked pick about three of these bowls full and still have some more to pick.
This is our little baby, who is 6 months old. She started eating baby food about a month ago. She really likes these peaches.
I peeled the peaches, cut them into small pieces, and then I was able to mash it with a fork. I could have use the blender or food processor, but these peaches were so juicy they mashed easily. Who wants to clean unnecessary dishes? lol
Do you ever make your own baby food. I like the fact that I know exactly what my baby is eating; no additives, no preservatives, no msg…

Changes made on the exterior of this Flip House
This is the house we bought to flip last fall after we completed the things that we needed to upgrade in order to resell the house. This is the house before we did anything. It may not look that bad, but nobody had lived in the house for two years and there were a lot of things that needed to be done. Some of the things we did on the exterior of the house were to
How to Make Dill Pickles
We washed all of the cucumbers in water and Shaklee Basic H2. I clean all my fruits and vegetables including lettuce and berries (Home grown lettuce has a lot of dirt on it and this works great.) I use this safe non-toxic cleaner for everything. I don’t want to use anything that is not safe for my family.
We cut the cucumbers into wedges. They could be sliced thin or left whole, also.
Then I put them into the jars. We put in as many as we can without bruising them.
Put the garlic in and then just squeeze. I scrape the garlic on the side of the jar. We added 2 cloves to each jar. We then add 2 tablespoons of Celtic Sea Salt. This is unprocessed salt which is way better of you. We buy the 22 pound bag, which lasts us a long time.
We also grew dill in our garden for the first time. I had no idea what part to use from the plant. I think you could use any and all of it. Does anyone know or have experience with this?
At first I just used the feathery part that is attached to the stem but then I added some of the top part. The flavor was delicious!
The last thing was to add filtered water. Water has so many unwanted containments that it’s important to use a good quality water filtration system. (This one is even certified to take out up to 99% of lead for only pennies a day!!!)
Just fill the jar until it is about one half inch from the top.
Put the lids on tight and let the jars sit at room temperature for two days. (I actually, gently flipped the jars back and forth to mix all the ingredients.) If the cucumbers are whole it will probably take three days. Slices may only need one day. Then put the jars into the refrigerator. They should last for several months, but not in our house. lol! And that is it. So easy and the family loves them.
