Vitamin C works for me, too! It knocks out colds for me, as well, if I take C when I first start noticing I am coming down with something. I'd read somewhere that too much vit. C can cause kidney stones. I've been taking pretty significant dosages for years & years (since I work with children who are always getting sick). I've yet to develop a kidney stone, so not sure how true that info is.
So glad to hear that your construction work is pretty much done! I can't wait to see photos of everything once you have it all set up! I want to see a night photo with the low lights, pond lights, and plants! I envy you having such a wonderful place to chill in the evenings! And with such a terrific night view of the community, too! It is marvelous!!!!
