Greetings and Peace,

Hope this finds everyone doing well. I am sure you have heard the following:

An Apple A Day

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Apple in the morning - Doctor's warning
Roast apple at night - starves the doctor outright
Eat an apple going to bed - knock the doctor on the head

The simple history or meaning behind the words of this nursery rhyme lyrics is one to encourage the child or even baby of the family to eat healthily! Although perhaps 'Doctor' should be replaced with 'Dentist' in this modern day and age. Apples are extremely healthy. Ofttimes we may take them for granted since we have access to them year-round, but it is a good addition to a healthy diet.

Our wealth is our health!


Your Sister,
