February is over. Really? Tomorrow is March? I remember as a kid that time would drag on and events never came quick enough. Now as an adult, time just passes along. There is so much going on and life keeps me busy. How have I been married almost 9 years? How is my daughter about to be 5? It is kind of crazy. Seems like just yesterday I was still in high school and now I think I will be 75 before I know it. I guess I will just have to savor every second since time is bound and determined to keep on going!
In the essence of savoring things I present to you apple fritters with butterscotch sauce. Sure, you can make yourself feel better by saying there are apples in these. But let's be honest; there is no health value in these. But there is value in the happiness that comes from enjoying a delicious, sweet treat first thing in the morning and calling it breakfast!
I also wanted to say a quick thanks for stopping by all month. NaBloPoMo has been fun and I look forward to doing it again soon. I would do it in March, but I will be out of town for 5 days and don't want to worry about getting posts up while I am gone.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

I hear you about time flying, and the older you get the faster it goes it seems. You are right to want to savor each wonderful moment.
