Bumpa's Favorite Raisin Bran Muffins

I remember Memère serving these muffins to Bumpa as part of his breakfast every day. Memère would wake Bumpa up every morning at 8:00A.M. But before she did this, she would set Bumpa's favorite cereal, a glass of orange juice, a cup of coffee & a single muffin on a tray so that he could eat on the porch & watch the water. The morning newspaper, opened to the sports section, was set to the side of the tray. What a wonderful life the two had created for themselves! I can still picture them reading the newspaper today...
