That's an interesting tale! Now you've made me hungry but cereal will have to suffice for me.

What a neat story, Lila!

Hi Lila...
Thanks for dropping in and saying hello! I have been negligent about leaving messages this last week or so but have been dropping in to see what you have been up to.
Isn't amazing what new delights serendipity provides us with? It's a good reminder to me to try new things!
Have a great week!
