Oh, these lovely shots are bringing back some sweet memories of your special day! Can we have some pictures of Apple Hour, esp. the Caramel Apples of my dreams?

Yes, I gave up on Caramel Apples so long ago as yucky things. Sylvan, lucky one, got to have one of your delightful wonders as his FIRST introduction. It might be all downhill from there!

I would love your caramel recipe.
