Famous Dave’s Field Trip… and more

Posted on: 1 Comment

I know the what more important is the “and more” so I’ll start there.  About 8:45 this morning I was told I needed to call my father at home.  In my mind I immediately knew what I was going to be told.  My Grandmother was just recently diagnosed with Lung Cancer and had been under some chemo which helped.  About a month ago her doctors told that there wasn’t much more they could do, and gave her about a year.  My parent had seen them on Saturday; they enjoyed the time.   So I called my father and my dad told me that she had passed away last night in her sleep.  They think the cause of death was a heart attack, however since she was a sleep the hospice nurse said she probably didn’t feel a thing.   I went and found Renae and relay the news, and then talked with Pastor Davidson who was very comforting.

This afternoon, I had planned to take my yearbook class to Famous Dave’s in celebration of finishing the yearbook.  None of my five students had ever been so we were in for a treat.  The food was GREAT! the student’s loved it.  I had the 2 meat combo with the beef brisket and a hot sausage link, with the sides of potato wedges and mashed potatoes, along with the cornbread and corn that always come with it.  Here is some pics.  Not going to do a restaurant review here, sorry.

Entirely Way Too Long

It has been a long time since the last time I blogged, especially since I said I was going to blog the day after my previous post.  I guess I should make promises I cannot keep.  I will admit I have been working on redoing Bethel’s website. Although the final version still maybe upwards of a month away.

Iron Chef was fun.  The secret ingredient was cocoa powder.  The game plan ended up to make stuff shell noodles with a spinach, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and cocoa powder for the main dish.  It turn out pretty descent. Our appetizer was cocoa biscuits, nasty things…  we didn’t have baking powder and the girl helping out substituted it with baking soda nasty nasty nasty.  For dessert we picked a winner going with a chocolate pizza…  Topped with chocolate cream cheese, and chocolate chips and peanut butter chips, drizzled with chocolate.  My group got second place…. oh well.  if it weren’t for the nastybiscuits…

Everything else is going well.  I’ve been able to keep up with the giants more this year than previous years, I have been listening to games on the radio which in great.  they are doingok, 14-13 today.  Second place in their division….  That means everyone else in the division with the exception of the blue team is doing horrible.  The giants are 6.0 games back and have a 3 games series in LA this weekend…   BEAT LA!!! BEAT LA!!!!  Sweep the series and we’ll be only 3 games back.  Which brings up an interesting topic.  Manny…  that’s rightManny Ramirez suspended for 50 games for taking a banded substance.  Now is the time for any team in the NL West to capitalize on the blue team losing their star player.   LET’S GO GIANTS!!!!! LET’S GO GIANTS!!!!!

To Jay, This next Tuesday afternoon I’m heading with my yearbook class to Famous Dave’s Restaurant in Long Beach.  Totally looking forward to it.

To Everyone: Don’t forget to wish your mom a “Happy Mother’s Day” this Sunday!
