Maple Blessings

This weekend I visited my church in the village of Bohumilice.  Normally when I go there it's for work, I have an agenda and people to see and meet with.  This time, however, I just went to spend some time with friends.  David and Desneige have become good friends over the past couple of years that I've been working with their church.  While in MN last month for my brother Brian's wedding I received a gift of homemade maple syrup.  This is a rare treasure here in Czech, So I wanted to share this blessing with friends who would appreciate it.  I thought to myself, my friend Desneige is Canadian, Canada has a maple leaf on their flag, that's a winning combination.  So, I made David and Desneige a deal, "Make me pancakes and I'll share my syrup with you."  A wonderful breakfast was had by all.  It's funny how little things like syrup can enhance friendships and make life more enjoyable.

A note for readers in the Czech Republic: I still have more syrup, so the deal still stands for anyone who has a hankering for pancakes or waffles.

Hi Greg!
We'll take you up on the syrup offer -- pancakes or waffles -- I can do either. Plain old or we can go fancy style....banana nut pancakes, pumpkin spice waffles, etc. Let me know....
