Donuts and Dolphins

What could be more exciting than starting the day making donuts?

It couldn't be simpler with a package of Krusteaz Fat Free Cranberry Muffin mix and 3/4 cup of water.  And with two sets of stirrers eager to help…..

it's really a piece of cake!   Oh….I mean donut.

Mix the dough, squeeze it into the donut pans (Gramma G doesn't have any photos of this step 'cause she needs  two hands to help the squeezers)…..pop it into the oven for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, we mix up the glaze.

And, finally, the donuts are baked and ready to dip.

After one last stir.

And, don't forget the sprinkles!

And….since they are "fat free"…we can call them "Healthy Breakfast Donuts"…..right?

And, even better, they taste yummy!!  Great way to start the morning.

But that's not the only excitement of the day.  I was sitting at the beach, gazing at the ocean when a wave crashed,  and I spotted a dolphin swimming so close to the shore we could have been rubbing shoulders with him had this been Wednesday!

He was soon joined by some friends, and when they began to swim north, you could hear the "aahs" echoing from the bystanders, over and over,  as they made their way along the beach.  

Apparently we weren't the only ones impressed with their antics so close to the shore.

And, as if that wasn't enough excitement for the day, upon exploring the beach just a little ways north, we spotted what looks to us like the remains of an old pirate ship land-locked on the shore.

Don't these two make great Pirates?

AAARRRGGGH!
