can't remember getting early childhood vaccines but I do remember getting my polio vaccines on sugar cubes. Glad to have skipped getting that nasty one. I'll be 67 this August, still do everything I need to around the farm, just a bit slower than I did 15 to 20 years ago. I attribute it to eating food we raise, clean air and water, and I got lucky in the gene pool lottery.

Glad to hear you are doing well!!
