Today is National Bake Day. It doesn’t seem to matter what you bake, so long as you bake. It’s also a Monday during the busiest time of the year.

Good Morning All!
Today is going to be a very busy day at our house. We are hosting an early Thanksgiving for my sister, Jaquex and her entire extended family. I’ll share all the festivities later.

Recently on a warm afternoon in early September, Hubby and I walked over to the community pool. There we were joined by the usual group of retired ladies. The conversation eventually rolled around as it often does to matters of faith.

Oh how I miss Teacher Appreciation Day. We no longer have children in school. Even our grandchildren are grown. And as for Little Miss Hazel, she’s not yet 3 so our first great-grandbaby is only now beginning preschool.

Did you know that cinnamon is a good source of manganese, fiber, iron and calcium? I love cinnamon in my coffee, on toast, in an apple pie or today sprinkled on Crescents. It’s a good thing, too because today is National Cinnamon Crescent Day. Now if your mornings are like mine, making a big breakfast before the men folk head out the door isn’t always possible.

I adore a breakfast of pastries, fresh fruits, good coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. I hold a special fondness for light, delicate pastries on a spring morning, when the very air is an invention to linger. Fresh pastries on Easter Morning are especially welcome.
