It has been busy around here.....I know I keep saying that, but it is! I hope that you all have had a more relaxed one!!!!!!
The reason I have been busy is because I have been in the kitchen......baking and cooking away using the 101 Breakfast and Brunch Recipes Cookbook!!!!!!!

This would be a sweet gift to make up for that someone! Put the fruit in an old mason jar, scoop the granola in a cellophane bag with a ribbon tied around the top. Line a basket with a pretty cloth napkin. Add plastic spoons, paper plates, napkins, granola and jar of fruit.........I know you can find someone to give this to for nooooooo reason at all. Just because you care is reason enough...right? It is really very nummy and a beautiful breakfast for that special person!

Hi Linda~~~Finally got a chance to catch up on emails & blogs! Been busy today with laundry & gardening. The attack of the zucchinis has begun! Sounds like the perm party was lots of fun:0). Can't wait to see the finished look. Ladies Bible study starts up tomorrow & I will bring the recent prayer requests with me. The ladies in my group will seek the Lord along with us. Thanks for the recipes today~~~going to make the granola. Have a good night! Oh~~~something about myself~~~I am married to a wonderful Christian man & we have six grown children between us & nine grandchildren. I love our country life. I'm a retired hospice nurse & I knit, sew, scrapbook, read, bake, cook, & craft. I love thrift shops & yard sales & most importantly I love the Lord. Sorry~~~guess that was more than one thing!
