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…

    OOh, what a fun treat. Glad you got a photo to go along. When I was a kid, an older couple my parents knew would visit once a year or so and always bring donuts. I wish I had pictures...
