Words I love to hear...

I woke up this am @ 8:05 to be exact to a dog that needed to go out. So I drag myself out of bed and head to the kitchen where I hear the words, "You're not supposed to be up yet." To which I replied, "Then will you let Annie out? And I will go back to bed." Which I did. Grabbed my book and enjoyed some reading. Next I hear a knock at my door asking if we have anymore eggs. No, how many do you need? Just one more is the answer. I say it should be ok... What are you making? A surprise. Gotta love that. When will it be ready? In about an hour. In the meanwhile he has made some cinnamon toast. So I go out to the patio to eat my toast and play soccer ball with Annie! I am NOT allowed in the kitchen. I notice that my junior league cookbook is out. Hmmm a new recipe. I love it. I also notice that the grape jelly is out. Is that for the recipe I ask. He says it calls for raspberry jam or any other type. I think to myself that grape doesn't sound very appealing so I suggest a cherry preserve that I have in the pantry. Well, now it is time to get R to swim practice (he is so joyful about it). I decide that I am going to walk while he is practicing. Which I do for an hour and a half. When we get home, the Cherry Crumb coffee Cake is ready and the house smells wonderful. And the coffee cake is so yummy!!!

Thanks S for a wonderful surprise. I will go back to bed any morning if it means a home cooked meal!!
