Brenda and I both enjoy guacamole. In going to Fresh Start Health Retreat Center, I previously mentioned that I was checking out their recipes.

Only once before I have taken part in a regim that was as disciplined as this. I was happy with the results. As the time is drawing closer (November 4th), I’m eagerly anticipating what I’m going to experience. Having experienced a heavy September and October of traveling (Switzerland; Stowe, VT; Portland, ME; Jacksonville, FL; and Miami, FL), I’m looking forward to 5 nights in one place.

Their recipe for guacamole is good, I tried it. So, I may be in for more good treats than I was thinking. I’ll keep you up to date.
