Old-Fashion Cider Donuts

Old-fashion cider donuts right out of the fryer our mom's favorite past-time from when she lived in Michigan. Now that it's fall, we definitely were ready to get a taste of these from our favorite old-fashion cider mill here in Missouri, Dunn's Cider MIll. It's not too far from Papa and Gigi's house, so Papa met us for some pre-lunch donuts.

It was neat to watch the donuts being made. I got to stand at the window and watch each one come out, get flipped, and then go up the conveyor belt. It was so fascinating. The ladies even let us pick out some of the ones that had just come out of the fryer!

These donuts are finger-licking good!

I love the donuts coated with cinnamon and sugar. Actually, I love lots of things with cinnamon and sugar: toast, apples, donuts, cookies, and anything else I can convince mom to put it on! We'll be going back for sure at least once or twice this fall, mom, baby, and I ate almost 6 donuts! We should probably spread our our donut feasting.

I love the black and white picture of you. I have it on the bulletin board with the one in the red dress and hat. Everyone that comes in the office comments on it. You are photogenic to say the least. Do you realize that I will be seeing you in about 5 weeks or so. It will be the first time since you were 4 months old. We will have a lot of catching up to do now that you can talk and let me know what is going on.

What are you going to be for Halloween? You are going to have let me know and then have some good pictures posted on the blog so I can see. There is a package coming for you with some special
Halloween things in it so enjoy.

I love you,
