Yeah and Hooray! Its National Peanut Butter Day!

I picked up a hand of bananas

at the grocery for my smoothies

Usually I cut them in half,

freeze them and leave one

banana out to enjoy whole

This morning when I got up

I decided to have one of my

favorite weekend breakfasts:

Toasted English muffin halves

with peanut butter, honey &

sliced bananas on top

Then it happened, while I was

making coffee, the newscaster

announced: It’s National Peanut

Butter Day!

Suddenly my heart swelled with

happiness as I thought:

I am psychic! And I love peanut

butter, too! O, the joy!

The newsman went on to announce

that peanut butter is cholesterol-free

Who knew?

Now, I am smiling from ear to ear

My mother raised no fools (well, maybe

a couple, but not me!)

I take a whole wheat English muffin

from my freezer, pop it in the micro-wave

to thaw-then into the toaster to toast

to a medium crispy brown

I get out my refrigerated, fresh ground

peanut butter (the machine at WinCo

grinds it from whole peanuts, while you

wait) I slather peanut butter on the

toasted English muffin halves,

Then I swirl the organic honey (spigotted

right from the hive, at WinCo, too)

And finally I slice the peeled banana and

top it off, making appreciative little groans

 As I enjoy the tasty treat, I know my dear

RN mother is smiling down because

I followed to the letter her nutrition

advice

I smile, contentedly as I munch,

feeling every bit ten again…
