An English Muffin Woke Me Up

Good morning from my little part of the world! My husband awoke before I did this morning much earlier than usual. The smell of his breakfast, a toasted English muffin and the aroma of coffee, reached me in bed. That aroma traveled all the way down the hall, took a right turn, then a sharp left, and woke me up immediately. Now he’s busy making me breakfast. After I eat it, I will ice my back, then heat it, and do my exercises. I may need a nap, too. ~Photo is mine of our morning sun, just taken when I peeked out the room darkening blinds. That’s why we need them.~

I love to wake up early and see the sun rise. I am going to make English muffins tomorrow.

Oh my gosh @LadyDuck , you make English muffins as well? I have only bought them - I've never thought to make homemade ones!

@DianneN They are good, but I remember that those we had in some hotels in the United States were really delicious.

It’s rather blinding here, but up north it’s more subtle. . I love English muffins. Yours must be delicious!

What a 'fantabulous' view and that too right across your room. Quite an intriguing journey that - the smell of your breakfast (lol)

lol I have a very good visual of that scent working its way into the bedroom. I was awoken by a text from my daughter at 5:15 and last night her husband texted me from the hospital at 1:02 am so you get an idea how much sleep I got especially snuggled between the two little dogs and the hubs lol!! I see a nap in my future. So far I have had a cup of coffee, I think I will have fried eggs when Al gets up. Kasey and I are planning a little retail therapy today and lunch at Max Amore which is closing at the end of June

I did send prayers for your son-in-law and hope they work. I don’t know how you will find the time to manage a nap with the day you have planned. Enjoy!

@DianneN, of course, your back pain is no joking matter but I had an amusing thought just the same I sure hope your back is much better when you return up North but if you need to have a special massage perhaps you can picture yourself lying face down with Doodles walking upon your back, just saying

What a guy! How wonderful that your husband is taking such great care of you! When I read your title, I had a vision of an English muffin that hasn't been split all the way, like a hand puppet saying "Wake up, Dianne!" .
