Wednesday Memes - It's October and I am back!

We were on a Western European cruise with our family, including 2 of husband M's sisters for about 2 and a half weeks in September. More on that as I gather my highlights. Travel is gruelling as you age haha but fun memories were made and bonding with family is so worth it.

Here are the memes:
 

 

Bran muffins and a Blog Break

 Here we are at the end of August!

I will be going on a blog break until the beginning of October.  

These are some bran muffins I made using a recipe from Veggies Yarns and Tails.  I did substitute Splenda Stevia one for one in the recipe and used just a half cup of raisins along with whole wheat flour.  I added a bit of butter on top of my muffin before I ate it.

 Sweden sounds like a model city.

Summer Walks

 We have enjoyed many summer walks this year.  I snapped this photo in the neighbourhood on a walk.  The flowers have been thriving as we have had a lot of rain over this summer.  We have not used our watering hose at all this year!
