Sounds like a wonderful visit!!! Everyone else wants pictures (which I also
do) but what caught my attention was the French Breakfast Puff. Any chance
Lois (or yourself) will share the recipe?
Thanks!

I will ask her and I am sure she will give it to me to post. I must
warn you, these little devils are the downfall of any diet. She only
makes them when we have enough people to eat them so that I don't get
enough of them to do myself any damage. It is sad that our marriage
has come to that, but there you are. A misguided sense of preservation
on her part, probably due to the amount of butter in them, and my
ability to eat every one not accounted for. Sigh!. Tomorrow will be
the end of all the diets when I post the recipe.

I posted the recipe separately so that others might enjoy some of
these belly bombs.

Here I am!!! Waving from Boston! It is hard to find time to pop in
here due to the pressures of travel and need to do the 'important'
bits on line.
But am thinking of you all as we have been driving along the trails.
John has given a good synopsis of our trip delights. When we get home
to Oz I'll do a precis. We just had a most wonderful time with J and
Lois; they are truly special folk. To sleep in a quilty attic was
close to heaven in two ways!! The bed was like a cloud after the hard
bed in the rv! Hoping now we can call in on Judy in Maine in a few
days time.
Yes, my ankle injury is a distant memory and am walking just dandy. I
donated the crutches to a local rehab centre in Pennsyl. as we sped by
-- glad I didn't have to throw them in a river!!
Must dash and see the sights of this gorgeous city Boston. A special
evening tonite to see the Bost. Philhar. Orch.
Hugs and love
Bronnie
