Biscuits for Conner

Today I had guests for brunch. Renee,our adopted daughter and her boys came up to raid our garage for a tag sale. Well we would have been looking thru boxes and boxes of stuff from my Antique Shop but Jon took my car this morning to work and I forgot the key was in that car. So instead we got some books out of the bedroom for the sale and a few other things. One thing I had a hard time parting with was an Indian bedspread. I bought a few years ago in a church sale and it is all plum colors. It is thin cotton just perfect for hot summer nights.Funny thou I never used it. I just look at it.I hope somebody buys it and enjoys it. I really loved it but I have NO place to put it.like I said I love it but it doesn't go in either bedroom. My grandmother  had one in her cabin in Vermont . She used it to cover an old couch.I have such fond memories of that cabin. just before Renee and the kids came I whipped up some biscuits and scones.I had some sefrising flour I wanted to use up.I made 10 biscuits and 6 scones with raspberries.Guess what i have left! Right nothing not one crumb nada none. I guess it was the right thing to make. Conner loves his biscuits with lots of butter and dips them into honey Yum.Andrew loved the scones .
