Baby must be near….
Well, we must be getting close to an arrival soon. While Mark had the children at the pool this afternoon, I took a two hour nap. WOW! Where did that come from. Then this evening I rearranged the freezer and made a coffee cake for in the morning. Hopefully, someone will get to eat it in the morning.
I used one of my favorite recipes for this coffee cake. I realized when putting it together that I haven’t made it in over a year. Where has the time gone?? The recipe is from Southern Living Magazine; I think it was February 1998. It’s an easy bake and tastes great!
