Mema says these were Poppy’s favorites. She used to like to surprise him with them. I’ve made them too and they have an added bonus...the house smells so good when you bake them!

I took this picture of Poppy during his early years in the Miami Home for the Aging. I brought him the hat. He liked it. I love the picture.
