I ♥ my dishwasher!

There was a lot of excitement this morning at AHOP. I can’t tell you the whole story yet, but soon. My alarm went off at 4:15 a.m. to get ready for the festivities, and there was not a minute to waste on the snooze button. Thank you to all eleven officers who stopped by to support Miss Ann's big day. Below are a few humorous pictures of my kitchen ‘after’ a typical breakfast. 

I (could) stay in the kitchen and clean up along while everyone is gathered at the table, but I choose to visit. Plus, breakfast has to be cooked really fast....there really is no time to clean up. I'm either cooking or visiting.  

You might think clean-up would be a chore -- it's anything but!  It's the time I reflect on the morning -- thinking about the officers who came and what kind of day they'll have, the funny stories, the relaxed atmosphere. It all goes by so fast.

Breakfast is a messy business. My dishwasher will get loaded (3 times) and the kitchen will get cleaned.....after my nap.
