Plumerias and Cinnamon Rolls

I kept telling myself that I couldnt wait to move from Hawaii and I missed California way to much to ever care to return to the islands, but actually Ive taken the Aloha Spirit with me and on occasion longed for certain things. So a few months back I purchased a plumeria stalk at a local festival. Planted it in cactus soil and set it on my front porch where it would get the most sun. Well for weeks and weeks it stayed a stick and then all of a sudden red horns began to poke up which eventually turned into leaves, and then swirly horns began to grow which a few days ago finally opened to reveal the beautiful bloom that was within. Not to bust the sale persons chops but she did sell me the wrong one. I dont mind though because I worked and waited so hard for this plant to thrive that I love it so much. I want it to grow and grow into a beautiful tree, and then when Adam and I finally settle down in our own home one day I will plant this tree as a reminder of our wonderful time we spent in the beauty that was Hawaii.
Saturday is breakfast day in our house so I attempted to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. Thankfully I was successful and 3 hours later my family grubbing on gooey goodneess.
Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend all.
