It was great at the Celiac Walk!
The Celiac Walk was great! Made some wonderful new friends, learned more to share on my Gluten-Free Help website, and shared some “Danny” news. Overall we really had a terrific time. Now it’s time for a good foot soak – my feet are in need!
Another success for Danny – this time in Bologna!
I’ve been off much of the day doing other research, writing and making calls for my Gluten Free Help website, and just saw that everything was a complete success at the Bologna Book Fair! Who knows, perhaps Danny the Dragon and I will have to go to Europe sooner than we anticipated.
Danny the Dragon is in Bologna
Today Danny the Dragon is in Italy at the book fair in Bologna and is sure to be a big hit! I am waiting in anticipation for the news. I will keep everyone posted.
