    Really Nice Article On Drying Fruit

    That's a good one, Scotty, thanks! I never thought of drying fruits in an oven. This is a novel idea and a good one to practice when there are plenty of fresh fruits around.

    Solar Kits

    The portable solar kit sounds interesting, and a great idea to bring on a camping trip. The downside for me is on the last post by Refrigerator about the weight of the battery and the kit. That is really something to consider...

    I am not keen on taking them, but since you mentioned here that they help the joints and increase the good cholesterol level, I will think about it.

    I think I will try this one too. Any other dip aside from cinnamon that would make it taste yummy? I'd like to try different dips for the children to decide which one they would like best.

    Going to be Autumn soon!

    You are right about Autumn being the best part of the year. Not too warm and not too cold. Just the right temperature to live in and have fun outdoors or indoors. We could go camping in the backyard again!! LOL

    Bike accident

    That is too sad. If the bikers had stopped and are on the side of the road, then something was wrong with the car driver who slammed into the boy. I hope the other boys are okay. Such incidents can cause a terrible trauma for the young guys.
