Onions and Cake at Siena College
For all the girls at Siena College who I met yesterday – thanks so much for making it a lovely visit. Since you had to rush off afterwards, I thought I’d post a picture of your gifts so you could see how much I appreciate them! Only readers of Peeling the Onion would understand the significance of the cake, so it really did make me smile. Even before I tasted it! (The flags say: Dear Anna, Love 8A)
(It made my husband smile too. I have to tell you the cake doesn’t look quite like that anymore…)
