Breakfast at Starbucks

I don't remember when I've enjoyed a breakfast as much as yesterday's! Brian took me out for breakfast.



The conversation with Brian was very heartwarming, and out-and-out interesting, and the oatmeal wasn't too shabby either!


And this is just a sprig of the flowers from a bouquet that my husband bought me.

    Either you grow some amazing flowers in North Dakota or you are an exceptional photographer (I think the latter). Your flower photos are just gorgeous! I find myself looking forward to your next flower posting for my daily fix of spring. Lee, John and I comment on your postings, always ending our sentence with: "She is such a good photographer!" Glad that you had a lovely Mother's Day.

    Coffee and flowers - can't go wrong there! (and don't think the beer sponsors didn't notice the subtle detour - good one Angela...hahaha!) Great shots!
