Breakfast

 

Probably my favorite meal of the day...

                                       Breakfast 

I know Marti, you made whatever your kids desired for breakfast every morning... not this Mom, but a very nice idea 

Back to my kitchen.

It is a little complicated, in fact, the "problem" is still not corrected

Ok, here is what happened:

Last week we got a post card telling us that the power would be shut off for four hours during the day on Friday.  They told us the precautions...unplug computer, tv and microwave. We did just that. 

We were out of town, but got the email saying
  " due to complexities, we will not be shutting the power off today"

When we got back on Sunday, our houseguest told us that the power was indeed shut off. All the clocks were blinking.  A big noise on Friday right in our yard, the property line on the south. We also noticed lots of bushes had been taken away.

He helped google for fix its... called Puget Power...they said call an electrician...Gordon came on Monday afternoon...assessed the problem and our fee... paid Gordon

Using our amazing microwave egg cooker ( with a quick call to Sharon for the recipe) and Presto.....    eggs for breakfast 

Gordon  returned on Thursday... new assessment called Puget Power...Jay came within an hour...another assessment.... power should be restored by 8:00 in the morning.

Just in case, I am ready with homemade pumpkin pie

Such a sweet gift... Hubby directs school traffic and often the families pass by and chat with him.  This family passed by on Thursday and asked Darrell if he liked pumpkin pie.

Mama said... I will bake you a pumpkin pie.....and she did.

I live an exciting life

Time for a little trip

First stop Phoenix.
Staying at the Hampton Inn
They have this neat "hanger" 
Hang tomorrows outfit and go to bed 

 Then the next days outfit 

We are here for some Bible meetings... spending time with old friends and some new ones.

The call for lunch and dinner....so delightful 

Stepping into a very good  weekend.



Then a visit with old friends...

Lunch around their table

Dinner and Delightful Evening
Always great stories 

Another day
Another lunch
Not just any friend...An old sweet friend 

Always time for Food
 Snooze Grill , Phoenix
Great food 

Always time to shop
Always time for footwear 

Then: Grand Canyon College and dinner with
                                   Jess !

Final breakfast,
Always give myself permission to make a waffle
And this morning
BACON

This picture carries a little story....
I usually go to the kitchen door to thank the staff for breakfast, so I found out the lady who made the bacon, which I love, was Anita. 
I said  " I have a daughter Anita....and she loves Jesus"
Anita said:  " Come here".   She took me into the kitchen where she had her Bible.
We hugged.  Something about being part of God's family.


And this is at the
  Hampton Inn, where there are no Gideon Bibles in the rooms.

breakfast

when I think of breakfast
and my grandkids,
I think about my friend Marti
         ( Hi Marti, I know you are one of my most loyal fans )

Yes, this is not my usual breakfast for my little men, but it is a waffle. They are content with the frozen kind. In fact, they go to the freezer and pull out one or two ( always Eggo, but that is another story, you will have to ask about )  and head to the toaster.  Grammy helps with the "cooking"  and sets the table with honey, maple syrup and jam . Every hole needs to be full of something sweet. 
( it is our secret, we don't tell mom )
 I will always remember Marti saying that she happily prepared any breakfast she was asked for by each of her four children. Pancakes, waffles, french toast, you name it .   No regrets ! 

And we can't go back. So this Grammy is making the most of the moments with the people she loves most.
