Senior Coffee

It was supposed to rain yesterday, but it's warm this week and the sun's shining. There were a few blackbirds on the lawn, one of them them was huge. They're not my favourite birds.

I just found out you can get a cup of coffee at McDonald's for 93 cents if you're a senior. You have to order a 'senior coffee'. Otherwise it's $1.22 plus tax.

A friend sent me this 'International Dance Day Flash Mob at the Toronto Eaton Centre, Official Video' "Canadas National Ballet Schools community members celebrate the Schools 50th anniversary on International Dance Day, April 29, 2010 at the Toronto Eaton Centre." Her daughter's in it but I had to look very carefully and still haven't found her! Anyway, it looks like it was fun.

Hi Christine,
Just finished our chicken paprika ! I told R that it was one of your recipes and he said "Thanks,Christine and awarded it 10/10 "! I didn't make the purple rice but served roast potatoes,parsnips and carrots, and used the chicken juices to make a delicious gravy !!!Thank you !

Another cool thing for seniors is that in North Bay there are certain places that will take Canadian Tire money at par for items. I think that is a wonderful program especially for some of the elderly that don't have a lot of money!

OH yes! It's a big thing with the seniors in Hawaii! :-)
Fun!

Christine said...

good for you, LadyCat

Japra, I love the music on that video

Barbara, so glad you and R liked the recipe. Sounds delicious with the roasted veg and gravy.

SoccerMom, I didn't know about the Canadian Tire money...that's a good perk.

Kay and of course you get the free refills!
