This looks great, but I really wanted to comment on how adorable your cats are. They are beautiful.
I have a giveaway on my blog today; no food, but saw Flip Flops food posts and decided to click on some links.
I’m in Raleigh, NC. I don’t know why my computer says Apex. But, the two are close.
Who could pass up blueberries, cream, and jelly?
