I tried the Neapolitan – soon to be the [...]

We attended the 2nd birthday party for our friends’ dear, dear daughter over the last weekend.
It was a fun day despite the cold temperatures here in Florida.  We got to catch up with friends we don’t see often.  Plus there were hot dogs & cake & loads of other goodies!
Plus these things always provide lots [...]
