Coffee Cake

My wife made this tasty treat for us instead of going out :). I suffered massive migraines on Sunday :(. I had a reaction to the wine I drank Sat evening. Something in that bottle I felt like a punching bag and after my pills like I was rung out. Taught a drop shot class Monday and it went well and my helper hung around for extra lessons :)
