Mommie! Mommie! Daddy won!!
He did? What did he win??
He won the gumball machine on ebay!!
er…………………………..Wesley!?! You know you didn’t win. You know you have to actually pay for that, right??
And so went our conversation over this
I kind of love it myself! Wesley has been wanting an old gumball machine for a long time for his office. If you missed our office renovation you can check it all out *here*. It was a doozy of a renovation, but worth every second put into to it. He has several antiques on display so this really fits in perfectly, even though he didn’t actually win it!
Wesley and I both love antiques and you can find some neat pieces at most festivals. Therefore, we often go to festivals in the area. However, there’s one festival that I attend every year in a nearby town, the Amory Railroad Festival, that I don’t necessarily go to looking for antiques. Do you know why I go to this festival? Because there’s a vendor that serves the best Apple Fritters that you’ll find anywhere on the planet!! They are the perfect amount of crispy, apple-ly cinnamony goodness! If you go with me, don’t expect me to share my bag of my tasty treat, you just need to get your own.
These waffles smell amazing when they’re cooking. Cinnamon always makes the house smell wonderful when cooking it it.

I made these Gluten Free and Dairy free. I used GF All purpose flour and dairy free butter and rice milk. I also used coconut oil instead of veg oil. They turned out great!!!Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
