Breakfast Sandwich and Coffee

~ Along the way to Starbucks ~

This month and thru April 10, when we buy a coffee at Starbucks we get a sticker.

Collect five stickers ~ get a breakfast sandwich

~ Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich ~

We share the coffee and sandwich.
(They say that two can live a cheaply as one.)

This gives us each a scrumptious breakfast of about 250 calories a piece.

And I mean scrumptious! This croissant bun is so delicious buttery tasting.

Mornings like this make us feel as though we are on vacation.

Apple Butter on Toast

 I had a drawer of apples I needed to use up.
So, I made apple butter.
The family likes it!

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is a big holiday in our house.

We enjoy our traditional corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.
A little strawberries and cream cake is good too.

Budget-friendly Lunches

A simple lunch of tuna fish sandwiched, carrots and olives, and spicy Cheetos.
My boys love tuna fish.

After Breakfast

My three sons, along with my husband, ate breakfast
and headed out to the driving range for a morning of practicing their gold swings.

Mornings in March ~ Marie's Donuts and Coffee

 We LOVE Marie's Donuts.
Maybe we are prejudice, but we think that there are no better donuts than Marie's.

~ 6:40 a.m. at Marie's Donuts in North Highlands on Saturday ~
(before the time change)

I could not find any photos online of the inside of Marie's Donuts shop in North Highlands
(which, by the way, has been here since 1960),
so I decided that I should take along my camera and take some of my own.

~ Happy feet at Marie's Donuts ~

This morning's walk...

 ~ 6:30 a.m. on the American River ~
I have to say that I am saddened by the time change and the later sunrise.
Yes, very, very, very saddened.

I had to take a photo of our coffee shop to show the passing of the seasons
of our walks throughout the year.

The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 

 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. 

All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.

~ Psalm 14:8-10 ~
