The Celery Sachet: I remember, from long ago, sniffing the celery leaves as I carried them home from the market. Yes, Miss Blue, celery works miracles. I will order several bunches of the most healthy from our Friendly Grocer here in the Village. If it works for vertigo, and, you must remember, as fuel for cars, possibly it could be the exact ammunition to stop wars!


Thinking ahead: I will say the next new business trend could be the Food Cart for Slightly Unwell Persons. Yes, the Cart would be fashioned after the many market wagons that cruised the streets of my childhood days. Drawn by smartly groomed horses, the carts were filled with every sort of fruit and vegetable, with wooden boxes lined with blocks of ice holding the perishable milk and butter and cheeses alongside bologna rings and slabs of bacon and baskets of very fresh eggs. The vendors would call out something like "FOOD HERE. FOOD HERE." I, for one, think this is a most needed business here in the Village where many of us are enduring hunger for want of access to door to door food supplies.

Love to you, Miss Blue
