The Early Morning Phone Call

Well Saturday morning the phone rang at 7:21 AM (usually the phone ringing at that time of the morning is a bad sign). It was Darcy dad asking if we were up and dressed for the day :o) (with having kids… it seems like we are always up and dressed) but anyways he asked if he could stop by. I said “sure” not knowing what it was all about. Darcy had a silly little grin on her face knowing what it was all about. A few minutes later he pulled in the drive way and walked up to the door. Ma Pete convinced him to do an early morning doughnut run. I guess when Darcy was younger they would do that every once in a while, I guess the tradition will continue on. The boys thought that was the best thing in the world. I was wondering if he wanted to start early morning DQ runs. lol

Thanks for all the great comments over the past few days, it is fun to hear everyones stories…
