Today was the official start of our Road Trip. We woke to unsettled weather and as we pulled away from home, the rain started. We drove south to Seattle and then turned to the east to head across the country. As we started to climb up the Snoqualmie Pass the rain turned into a downpour....thick heavy rain that made the road slick and slippery....A bad start to a road trip if you ask me......
And as we passed over the summit and headed down, the sun started to shine and the highway was dry.....and the rain was over. And then something momentous happened....we decided to stop for a very late breakfast (and some much needed coffee)....and the menu included special items for "Those 55 and over"......and by golly, didn't we order from that menu. Yes, I did it - I ordered from that menu....
Now to the full, plain, true disclosure part - I am 55....but I have never actually considered I am eligible in fact or in spirit for a senior citizen discount. What next? Early bird specials?
And so we drove on, fortified by our breakfast deal.....over the Columbia River and through the valley......

you should remember to tell the audience what town you are in....
Happy Birthday Krista!! You don't look or act your age which is a tremendous compliment. But what a bonus to be able to choose from a 'special' menu.... that infers that there was a financial incentive!! Loved your recipe for the plum dessert. I have several branches of plums hanging over the fence from my neighbour's property, so I'll try this out.
