Hmmmm….. what is that smell this morning? Is that bacon and pancakes? Couldn’t be….
But it is! 😀
Normally life is so busy for Al and I we rarely have breakfast. I may grab a banana on the way out the door or an instant packet of oatmeal to take to work with me but that’s about it. Breakfasts – real breakfasts only happen when we get away for the weekends like to the cabin. Even though we didn’t make it there this weekend, I still had purchased items to make the rare breakfasts. (We pretty much have been eating everything I had packed in the cooler this weekend).
This morning – honestly…. we slept in. We had a wonderful time at our friends house for dinner last night. We sat on their deck and grilled chicken and enjoyed a lovely meal, and conversation until 10:30 at night! This morning neither one of us were in any hurry to get up and I have to say that was kind of nice too. So breakfast it is! And I have to say, it does smell gooooooood!
Today I am going to catch up on a few things around the house, I may time a bike ride, spend some time with Chance and basically stay mellow before I hit the ground running tomorrow.

Book Journey 
Good morning, Sheila! Okay, now you have me wanting bacon…and there’s none in my house!
I only ever eat turkey bacon these days, but I like it. It’s easy to throw it in the microwave (I know, the lazy woman’s cooking!), and with scrambled eggs, it’s delicious. Or on a BLT.
Okay, now I have to go to the store to get bacon! See what you started???
Have a great weekend.
Thats what it is Laurel – turkey bacon – I cant stand real bacon – too fatty…. blah! 😀
Enjoy your bacon! 😀
Bacon is just lovely. I went vegetarian for seven years, and it was the only item other than pepperoni I missed. Hmm..piggies are good. 😉
LOL Trisha!
Ooohhh. my son would be drooling by now from reading your post. He LOVES bacon!
Enjoy your day!
Vicki I keep digging in the pan…. I made way to much…. or did I? 😉
Wow! I thought I was seeing things when I saw my name! How exciting! If I’m understanding the Prize Box correctly, I can choose any book that still remains? If so, I would love to read The Girl She Used to Be. I have that on my to be purchased list. Thanks so much Sheila and enjoy your breakfast. You’ll need some fuel for that bike ride. Happy Sunday!

Thank you-bacon yummy-I am emailing you my choice-I am going to choose Daughter of Mine-PS I posted a breakfast recipe this morning you will probably enjoy.
I will be over later Esme – trying to prep some mail and heading for a bike ride with Wendy 🙂
My hubby always gets up before I do. Weekdays and some Saturdays it is because he has to go to work at 5:30 AM. I don’t get to bed until well after midnight, so I sleep a bit later. Sundays his body clock still has him getting up early, if not at 4:30. Most Sundays he has bacon frying and is just waiting for me so we can have eggs, waffles, pancakes, or now because our tomatoes are coming in the garden, a BLT. If we decide to skip the Sunday morning news programs (Meet The Press and Face The Nation), we sit out on the porch and enjoy the peace & quiet and fresh air.
LOVE BLT’s – especially with the fresh graden tomatoes – YUM! 🙂
We didn’t sleep in too late this morning, but we did have a scrumptious breakfast — http://yfrog.com/j817otj 😀
My husband’s the breakfast cook in our house, pretty much always.
Yummy! Hannah that looks good! I wish Al cooked but he does not…. we joke that if anything ever happens to me he will have to but stock in McDonalds 😀
LOL!
Yes, I’m very thankful that my husband is able (and willing!) to help around the house.
😀 Yes! Be thankful! LOL
Someone say turkey bacon!? I absolutely love turkey bacon, the only kind of bacon I eat!
Sheila- I finished The Forgotten Garden, wow what a great book. I posted my review on my blog if you’d like to take a look =)
I almost pulled it off the shelf today Colette and then seen it was over 500 pages long…. that one may have to wait until late fall 🙂
Now I have that Beggin’ Bits doggie commercial running in my head. Boo! It sounds like you had a great weekend though.
LOL Barbara – thanks, now you have passed it into my head 🙂
Ummmm….bacon, there is nothing better to smell in the morning.
I know Ryan – it made my house smell GOOD! 😀
