Scratch Waffles

Every weekend (and most days), my husband gets up around 4:30 am.  I do not...repeat...I absolutely do not get up that early on weekends or any other day for that matter.  With my "wackadoodle" sleep pattern right now, I am lucky to be getting back to sleep by 4 am.

When I finally rise out of bed and come out to the kitchen for my prepared cup of java, my husband always make sure that the drapes are open for me, to let in God's beautiful sunshine, which I do love to see every morning.

This one particular morning something looked off.  I couldn't quite figure it out, as I was still a little sleepy and coffee hadn't quite kicked in yet.  Do you see it?  Look closer...

Look very close...now you see it!  Are you kidding me?!?!?!  What in the world possessed him that early in the morning to actually go out to the garage, grab Brinkley's old dog collar and use it as a curtain tie?  (Which looking at the dog tag reminds me, I forgot to register our dogs with the Town this year...oops).

Well, at least Brinkley's celadon collar matches the curtain fabric...I do love that color, it's so calm and soothing.

In addition to my morning sunshine, we always make sure to have Sunday morning family breakfast together.  He knows that family meals are very sacred to me.  We always let "Baby B" select the menu, as she is our breakfast girl.

As you can see, this recipe has been around for about 30 years.  I finally asked him, "Is this one of your family's old recipes?"  His response, "No".  "I think I found it in an old Betty Crocker cookbook a long time ago."  We actually don't really know...

Have a blessed week and continue to be safe, healthy, and sparkly!
