Copper’s Day Off – Waffles
Many years ago, my husband began the tradition of making waffles for breakfast on Mondays. I get to snooze in bed a bit longer while he gets up to get the waffles started. As if that weren’t enough, he also brews me a huge cup of tea before coming in to wake me with a […]
