I hope that these comments make sense - that you can remember somewhat clearly the post that goes with them so that I don't sound like I'm babbling on!!<br /><br />I haven't come in such a long while because I've just had no brain strength! I've been so tongue-tied! I keep telling myself to just come and leave a hug and a kiss so that you know that I've read the post but, the thing is, I WANT to be able to comment! So, I'm so sorry for not being punctual!<br /><br />The happy thing for me is that I get to spend this time, this morning, being immersed in reading you 'story' from the past few months! It's very refreshing and, actually, inspiring! I have so much respect for you!!<br /><br />xxoKaty Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972227249393814417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907830779862347023.post-8019605363055774432014-05-16T15:11:44.519+02:002014-05-16T15:11:44.519+02:00Now, here is a funny coincidence!

On the agenda - the very next thing that I was planning to do is to make madelines! :) I read the recipe, yesterday, and planned for it to happen, today. Great minds think alike!
