ReplyDeleteAah, NC is North Carolina! Mystery solved, well for me, I bet most other readers knew already. I have loved your holiday blog entries.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are all having a nice holiday. I go on Saturday - we are going to a small town about 15 miles from Orleans in the Loire valley.
We are staying in a cottage - very cheap - called a 'gite' in France.
I am looking forward to it. There is no doubt that the French know how to make fab cheese!
Cool, it looks like candy.
