It was by far one of my favorite gifts. To this day, I still taste the better of the best when it comes to the perfection of this 'labor of love' creation. One day, I would love to attend this event. To be surrounded by air scented of maple syrup...oh heaven!Simply Mel {Reverie}https://www.blogger.com/profile/15881462293605864150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-35597467172355346032011-03-30T17:41:27.512-04:002011-03-30T17:41:27.512-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Sweat Glands Armpithttp://www.bodycareadvices.com/underarm-care/discover-how-to-deal-with-sweat-glands-armpit-problems/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-23992804291868370562011-03-29T20:00:26.620-04:002011-03-29T20:00:26.620-04:00Definitely go, Sue!

My hubby makes the best American-style pancakes this side of the Atlantic... and they have to have real maple syrup. ;o) Thanks for this outing, Gigi--great fun!

Pancakes aren't pancakes without that sweet gold poured over the top. Living in Australia is wonderful but I miss the change of season rituals so attached to New England and the eastern seaboard states. <br />Textilediva.blogspot.comMcKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470791593576032851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-47200959686974151102011-03-28T19:32:16.366-04:002011-03-28T19:32:16.366-04:00Yum, I definitely would enjoy that too! :) xxooYum, I definitely would enjoy that too! :) xxooCathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514685526355525209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-38996992826994893312011-03-28T19:25:40.163-04:002011-03-28T19:25:40.163-04:00how wonderful! thanks for sharing...my daughter an...how wonderful! thanks for sharing...my daughter and her family went to see maple syrup made at a farm in PA this year!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397618780347234868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-33565415793399245272011-03-28T19:23:35.497-04:002011-03-28T19:23:35.497-04:00Oh, that would be so lovely to taste the real thin...Oh, that would be so lovely to taste the real thing and in the real environment.
