Brunch

Saturday I was sat with Bean when I got a text that baby "misses his Grandma". This evolved into Sunday brunch with the whole gang.

Saturday evening Jeff and I went to the store, grabbed pancake batter, eggs, and breakfast meat. We went home and boiled eggs, cooked the bacon ahead of time, put the sausage in the fridge until the following morning and set out the pancake fixings on the counter ready to go, and felt proud of ourselves for being so prepared...AND the power went out! Switch tracks! Jeff and I headed to the local coffee shop, as even my fancy new coffee maker doesn't work without electricity. Then we decided that we would serve bagels and another sort of meat, ham and turkey I think, and two kinds of cream cheese.

Rissy and Amy brought the fruit, no specific request, just fruit, so it was curious to see what they would come up with. Amy arrived with mandarin oranges, grapefruit, and peaches oh my. Charissa arrives with bananas, apples and oranges, oh my!

My favorite thing was visiting with the family and seeing how this brunch evolved and came together so nicely with little direction and an unexpected detour:-)
