This such a wonderful moving story about choose life!

The other day while looking in the mirror I mumbled something like: "Yuk, I hate getting older, look at that face!"
While Ted said something like: "That's okay sweetheart, you'll get used to it!"
I answered: "Is THAT supposed to make me feel better?"

Baked Spinach Chips

Baked Spinach Chips

Preferably use organic washed baby spinach

Salt

Herbs of your choosing (I tried basel, but experiment and see what you like!)

Pepper, if you like

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the spinach in a single layer on top.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, herbs...

Bake in an oven or toaster oven preheated to 350 for around 7 minutes.  Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less.  They should turn crispy and wafer thin.  Carefully peel off the paper and enjoy.

UPDATE:  Some readers have had trouble with the spinach sticking.  It's important that you use parchment paper on your baking sheets, as stated in the recipe, to avoid this.  Wax paper and tin foil won't work, and obviously a bare baking sheet won't do it, either.  You can find parchment paper in most good grocery stores or baking shops.

In order for Lynne to take Ron on a date for his Birthday,

 we looked after the Grandchildren.

 Oh, how they love our laptops

And....Opa doing what he likes best!

Happy Birthday Ron!

We like to wish our oldest son a Happy Birthday

Company

We had some rather unexpected company yesterday. My niece Nelly and her husband Peter.

 They came down from Rockwood to visit their daughter Emilie, who lives in Smitthfalls. The three of them took the 45 min trip to see us. Needless to say we enjoyed that very much. We did not even get a picture of Emilie :-(

Next time Emilie, that is if you care, which I doubt, hahaha!

I did not know this!

As I was standing on our balcony I saw this yellow thing hanging on the side of an Apartment Building. It was too far for me to have a good look at it, so I got the binoculars out. With the camera I was able to get an even better look. As you can see, there are men at work and the rubbish they collect they apparently throw down the yellow 'chute' right in a dump-truck. Never seen that before, so worth sharing I guess!!
