Re: Blueberries

[Ivan M Suzman <cureit@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Joao and  Jeanette,

I picked many one-cup servings of DELICIOUS Maine wild blueberries
from the hill just up the  treet from where I live, this past July.

Joao wrote us that:

  "Scientists who published this new research found that old rats who had
blueberry supplements added to their diets showed improved balance and
memory."

Now, if I could only REMEMBER where they are in my freezer,
I could send you both some of our "blues."  I am often lost , leaning
, looking amidst the ziplock bags of strawberries, blackberries,
black raspberries and elderberries we collected this summer,

 HEY, WAIT A MINUTE ,Joao, there may be qualities in the ELDERberries
that are not studied yet...!  Could they give us wisdom?
Would us younger-onset PWP's benefit?

Oh, No, old berries for younger PWEP's??   I'm getting befuddled again..

HEY NATALIE, another round of blueberry pancakes, PLEEZ!!!!
