I have never heard of such a thing in my neck of the woods. Very cool indeed. I'm going to have to check into it for sure. I would love to do my annual online picnic in person!<br /><br />As for those Cake Pops of yours Johanna, they are just delightful. However, I too am intrigued with those crackers. I must remember to check out that recipe. <br /><br />I'm in awe of the fact that Sylvia is old enough to now socialize and make her own choices. She sure seems to be growing fast. <br /><br />And YOU, you too have found a comfortable path in the world of blogging and I am thrilled for you! Your excitement lights up my page.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing...~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-80451390823478068632011-09-20T13:49:52.933+10:002011-09-20T13:49:52.933+10:00look at that light!
