Such a gorgeous cake! Since you made it in grdittuae for the friends who've kept you sane, I'd better offer some good suggestions to earn a slice. 8-)I am also on Blogger and will stay put for the time being, but I'm hoping to do a little nip and tuck to smooth out the rougher edges. One thing you may not have seen is that Blogger now offers "Pages" - static pages (such as an "About" section) that readers can access by clicking on tabs below your banner/header or along the side. This way, the sidebar can be tidied up - no more long lists of web sites, which may visually compete with the text of your posts.I haven't done it yet but it looks easy enough (hmmm, where have you heard THAT before); go to 'Settings' and click the tab 'Edit Pages', which gives you the option of creating up to 10 such pages.Hope this helps! Now, about that slice of cake . . .

Zues and Hermes
Philemon and Baucis fail to recognize their guests, Zeus and Hermes, because the gods are in disguise. The character who does recognize them is their pet goose, which transforms into an eagle at the end of the story.
Jupiter and Mercury feel grateful and impressed by the hospitality and kindness they received from Baucis and Philemon. Their visit reaffirms their belief in the value of hospitality and the goodness of some humans.
