It’s our first day back from our family beach vacation so I knew to plan ahead for something good for breakfast to take my mind off the magical fun it was to be with all the family, especially the grandkids because with work, school, college and distance we might not see some of them until Christmas and even with phone calls and Face Time that’s a long ways away!
