Orange Poppy Seed Tea Bread with Old Friends
I’d like to say that old refers to length of time. Though that is true somehow old is becoming a reality that we can hardly believe! My friends are coming by for a much appreciated catch-up time. How is it, that at this stage of our lives, it is harder to find time to connect than when our children were all little and at home. Somehow we are all busier now than ever before.
