Rice Crispy Mars Bars!
If you feel like an occasional sweet tooth binge--here' a quick and yummy recipe that was in the National Post--tastes like a mixture of Crispy Cake and Mars bars!
1/4 Cup butter
5 Mars bars, broken up
3 tbspns. honey or corn syrup
4 cups crispy rice cereal
opt. 1 cup milk chocolate chops melted and 2 tbspns. semi sweet choc. chips melted
1. Melt butter, Mars bars and honey over low heat in a heavy saucepen. Don't worry if it's not completely melted. Stir in crispy rice cereal. Sprread in a greased shallow baking dish-8"or9" lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate.
2. If you want, spread with melted milk choc. and then drizzle with semisweet choc. Refrigerate until firm. I find that it is too sweet with the semi sweet choc. as well.
3. Run a knife around the edge and remove from pan. Cut into 25 squares, or smaller.

September 30 already--oh no!
Today is getting distictly cooler with a possibility of the white stuff--the F word--e.g.flurries--don't even say it out loud! Yesterday was just gorgeous, real Indian summer weather.
Alan had to go and bring my golf cart home today to be stored in the garage for winter--boo hoo!
Shelby and I went shopping today as she had various bills to pay and groceries to get,so she treated me for lunch at Tim Horton's--nice treat! They had a new special--very nice Chicken and roast red pepper sandwich.
Guin is a real help getting the wrinkles ironed out of my blog! I just lost yesterday's tech. stuff because I had taken too long to type it! I still have to learn about the photos etc.
Tonight "Survivor" is on so we will all be glued around the TV!
There was a very good Mystery on CBC the other night--2 parts, called "Prime Suspect". It was a BBC
production and they are usually very good quality.
Last night Roy and I went to see the concert "Don Herron and Friends" in the High School auditorium.
This will be the last concert in the High School as the new auditorium is just about finished.
It will have theatre type seating so everyone will have a good view of the stage, it will just be wonderful!
The concert itself was OK but not really special. Don Herron plays the role of Charlie Farqueson, a funny character. The mike was a problem as some of the words were not clear. There was also a woman playing bells, rather boring, a dancer not bad--she did flamenco, jazz and tap. Another woman played a fiddle and a guy played a guitar. There was a good singer--voice like Nat King Cole, who got my vote. All the performers were over 50 and belong to a special performing union or something.
I will post my Logic puzzle tomorrow!
Have a good day!

My first post!
Hi everyone! I am entering the brave new world of the Blogs!
Today was a fantastic Indian summer day, so I phoned up my 82 yr. old friend Midge and we had a last golf game for this year-boo hoo! I am forever grateful I could get in any games this year because of my stupid ankles and hernia--soldier on!
Today is my dear grandson David's birthday, so Happy, Happy and yesterday was Sally's so a belated Happy! We all miss you!
Yesterday I made an old English traditional sandwich, a "Chip Butty"! This is two pieces of bread and in the middle you put lots of home made french fries, mmm! It's more common in the North of England than the South.
Just finished watching the "Father of the Pride"--what a funny show! I love the characters!
Reading today? I'm in the middle of the Peter Robinson series of murder mysteries. Started off in my teens with Agatha Christie, of course, and have read widely in other kinds of books--e.g. science fiction, travel, novels, serious non-fiction, best sellers, cereal boxes. etc.! I remember being very frustrated at not being able to read cereal boxes when I was 3yrs. old and also some early school readers which I'd go out and buy with my spending money!
Historic memories--what are yours? Of course, 9/11 is now part of our psyches and I have various other historical ones--the assassination of JFK and Martin Luther King. The end of WW11, the Blitz, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I am giving my age away! I am proud of my age! I am now 69yrs. young!
Do you know any neologisms? You can usually find them in the press.
When I get a bit more organized I will post some pictures and try to do stuff like Alan does!
