{Husband Pieter's Selfie from the Mid Sixties}

Yay; I'm almost DONE scanning!!!

Only some remnants left and the feeling is GREAT.

So many treasures unearthed and relived!

Everyone should do this... archiving their family treasures.

Guess our digital era began with the Millennium year.

But before that, there were fun photos as well.

This Selfie (in a big mirror obviously) by my husband Pieter made me laugh!

Guess this photo has been made at the Open Lucht Museum in Arnhem, The Netherlands or Open Air Museum.

Happy that Pieter did quit his smoking when he turned 50!

This is one of the pipes, his Big Ben Pipo, that we still keep on our pipe rack.

Here, my Pieter is almost 22... A very handsome man, this was at one of his graduations.

Looking at him, he might as well have become a 'Dressman' (male model) with his always impeccable style.

I'm still very proud of him and very much in love as well.

Yes, yesterday my handsome husband turned 87!

Much to be grateful for and we hope and pray that God grants us many more years together.

At least, Pieter too is very happy with all the organized photos now to view as a slideshow on a big screen and reliving many fond moments.

Yes, due to his age also I was in a hurry doing and accomplishing this.

First I've done all his family photos and all of his thousands of slides.

In order to pass them on to his adopted daughter who's also related by blood to his ex, so there is lots of sentimental value in those early photos.

Pieter is the only surviving member of his family and now his Goddaughter and other niece do have that part of history preserved and explained by text.

That was a lot of work; hell it was a MEGA TASK!

LAST I've done our photos and it is amazing what we lived through with our job as International Consultants.

For sure I could no longer do that... not in the health condition I'm in right now, neither Pieter with his heart condition and knee problems. Both of us also do have occasional back problems.

Thanks for your patience and soon I will be catching up!

Happy Easter to my friends in Greece and all others I wish you a Happy Weekend.

{Healthy Vegan Pancakes Recipe}

For a healthy and very easy pancake recipe, this one will do the job!

Again I did substitute the whole wheat with whole wheat pastry flour from Whole Foods Market and it works just perfect.

Instead of berries I used the first time just fruits I had available... kiwi, cantaloupe melon and seedless grapes.

Dusted off with desiccated coconut (unsweetened!) that is available at Trader Joe's also, together with the coconut sugar.

Of course I also use the real Maple Syrup, grade A that we usually buy at Costco Wholesale 

This is how the batter looks like...

You can find the recipe under Vegan Fluffy Pancakes  by clicking it. 

Using my large 32 cm (12.5") cast aluminum Select Cuisine pan from Europe that we found at a Hanos.nl wholesale in The Netherlands, where I went with my best friend Ellie.

It came home with me in the suitcase!

Mine did not turn out that Fluffy though, so I omitted it in my title.

Yes, you can be very generous in using this healthy Coconut Oil, also from Costco.

Pieter and I both loved them very much and I like to make a larger batch. Easy for having something on hand when you have no time.

Just add fresh fruits and flaked coconut with maple syrup and you are eating!

Hope this helped some of you that look for healthy recipes for diabetes type 2 or other health reason!

Thanks for stopping by! Ⓜ

{Life is Paradise, and we ALL are IN Paradise, but REFUSE to SEE it}

Hope you all are enjoying spring, even for those Europeans that are facing snow...

Because I'm still scanning my final albums, no time for posting, nor visiting blogs. 

Sorry for my absence but I have to complete this!

For that I share with you our beautiful Lilac Clematis 'Silver Moon' and a great quote:

 "Life is paradise, and we are all in paradise, but we refuse to see it." −Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Yes indeed, Life is in many ways PARADISE!

Look at all those precious blossoms in spring.

ENJOY them and wishing you a lovely week.

Holy Week for my blogger friends in Greece.

Happy Spring! Ⓜ
