Nancia, you made me hungry for blueberry pancakes! Too bad I'm out of pancake mix and bisquick. I even have blueberry syrup. I had to resort to my old standby breakfast: blueberries, strawberries and vanilla yogurt.
I'll just print off today's instructions when they show up. No sewing for me today. My table is out in the garage for my daughter's garage sale. Plus I have quite a list of things to do today before my trip to Ireland tomorrow.
