Life is a Journey
C. and I played tourist in our own town this past weekend. We woke up early on a Saturday morning, something we rarely do, and headed to Dora’s Sale Barn for breakfast. Their Saturday morning buffet is a fun place to catch up with friends and family over a meal that’s allyou- can-eat. I indulged in two fluffy biscuits, one with sausage gravy and the other with chocolate gravy. Although I’m not supposed to eat chocolate gravy, I couldn’t resist. It reminded me of a sweet old friend in Biggers who loved biscuits and gravy just like I do.
