An appropriate photo to end the blog pics with, as it is now only a few days ro the Federal Election!
This was taken in the Legion Hall when Trudeau was passing through Dryden on the train. His wife, Margaret and two of his boys came too. It was at the height of "Trudeaumania"!! I asked him if I could get a photo of him for my kids and was surprised when he graciously agreed! A moment of history!

Here is a recipe I tried last night. A great muffin recipe!

ORANGE MUFFINS

i orange with peel, cut up into 8 pieces.
orange juice 1/2 cup
remove seeds from orange and combine orange and juice in blender. I would imagine a food processor would work too.

Add 1/2 cup chopped dates
1 egg
1/2 cup butter or margerine

Blend. Pour into medium size bowl

Mix:
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tspn. baking powder
1 tspn. baking soda

Pour over top of orange mixture. Stir to combine.
Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 full.
Bake at 400 C for 20 minutes
Remove from pans after 5 mins. standing time.
Makes 12 large or 16 medium muffins.

Very tasty!

I agree with Guin. So many pictures we haven't seen yet! I remember when the kids and me stopped in with a Farewell basket for Guin and Al!

I have visit all of your blog sites and it was great to see you all looking so well and happy. I recognise everyone se easily, a few waistlines are getting a bit bigger but none of you have changed that much. Really chuffed Guin sent me the e-mail addresses (I have sent short e-mails to all) and hope you can find time to keep in touch.

Love Gawain, Becky, Callum and Natasha
