21. Wheat Belly by William Davis MD  made me think twice about how much baking to do for Christmas.  Wheat and cereal grains have a high glycemic index which means our bodies turn it into sugar very quickly and ready to burn in calories it also means that anything not burned in calories is stored for later use in the form of fat.
22. The Girl With No Name by Diney Costeloe WWII story takes place in England.

Its been cold here below zero temps the best thing to do is stay inside and read or knit or quilt.  

Happy New Year!!  --Ann--
