We decided to go to the North Rim Lodge for breakfast this morning. They have a gluten free menu since last year. I ordered the gluten free pancakes with eggs and bacon. These pancakes were soooo goood!

This was the first time since April 2007 that I have been able to order pancakes at a restaurant. I know that doesn’t sound like a big thing to other people, but to me? Heaven! Those pancakes were delicious.
After breakfast, I walked out on the back porch of the lodge to take a few pictures. Yes, this is my fourth season working her, but I don’t have enough picutures yet, OK?

It was a bit smoky out there today from the fire over in Flagstaff, but still, it was a beautiful day!

Lots of people come and sit in those chairs and watch the sunset on the back porch of the lodge.

and one more:

I still feel like I have to pinch myself sometimes to believe I get to work here. Ah, fate!
What a beautiful place you work and live in Karen. And to have healthy pancakes with it, is indeed heaven! Have a great weekend. (((hugs))) Jo
Ohhhh…that breakfast looks delish!!
Really good picture of you, Karen. And I know that feeling of something being so beautiful that you have to pinch yourself to believe it.
