Some of the things that happened this week -

Tuesday was the birthday of Charles Grimes Rollins, Jr. aka "TWIG". Jane brought him a cookie cake and shared it with everyone.

CECELIA has been wanting to bake a cake for a couple of weeks and we finally got to it this week. Turned out great. CHAMBERLAIN and JAMIE helped. They actually made two. They iced one with chocolate icing but didn't have enough for the second one. Keep reading and you'll see what they came up with for the second cake.


CHRIS and JOSH Armstrong are home from college for the summer and came down. Always good to see them.

Had a guy visit last week named TOMMY. He's an older gentleman who says he comes to FBC sometimes. He asked about what we we did and said he had worked for a hotel chain in the food services area for a long time. He said he'd like to help and he'd be back. He came back this week.

John Liverman brought a pan of Roast beef and Mashed potatoes, a pan of green beans, and a pan of Banana Puddding from his Rotary Club luncheon. It was catered by Pearl's. That was a huge help because it allowed us to load up the plates.

If it ever comes down to a situation where I'm gonna be allowed a last meal (let's hope not, but.....), roast beef and mashed potatoes will be in the conversation.

If you read the names each week, you might notice CREEEECH! is in there every week. That's Kelsey Creech. She was in my Bible classes at Hoggard, and I never called anybody by their first name, just Mr. or Miss "their last name". And with her, it wasn't even that, it was just her last name. And when she walked in for the first time every day, it was longer and louder-CREEEEEEEEECH!
Well a couple of weeks ago I was at the comic book store looking in the dollar boxes and saw a Comic called "The Creech". I grabbed it and gave it to her last night. She got a kick out of it and that's what I was shooting for.

ALEX Miller came late and she'd never driven by herself to the 2nd stop. For some reason, she drives a big ol' full size truck. She called and got directions and I told her to just pull in the parking lot when she got there.
I saw her pull up and go past us. About 10 minutes later she came walking up. I asked where she'd been. She said"I'm not a good parallel parker". She'd been wrestling that truck into a parking space out on the street the whole time!

We set out the Banana Pudding at the 2nd stop and told them they had a choice between that and yellow cake with chocolate icing for dessert. It was never even a contest. Only 3 people had opted for the cake  by the time the Banana Pudding ran out. 
Duh. We're in the South.


My night was already complete the minute BECCA MORGAN showed up. I love BECCA MORGAN. If you don't, it's only because you haven't met her yet. She just graduated from Davidson and is home for the week before she heads for training with TEACH AMERICA. She'll be teaching High School in Charlotte next year. I have known her since she was very little. She tried to bust me last night. We were talking and a kid walked over and I said something to them and BECCA said You still using that line? You were using that when I was in Youth Group!
It's all right. I still love her. Plus, she's right. You only got to have 6 years worth of material, then you can start using it all over again.

When we started up to the first stop, I let Cecelia stay down to ice her cakes. When she came up, she showed me the chocolate iced cake and then showed me the other one. It had a fancy looking crumbly topping on it. She said it was pineapple and rice krispies with some butter. ?. I didn't even know we had any of that stuff. I asked her who made that? 
Take a guess.
TOMMY. 
First week in the kitchen and he whips up some kind of gourmet topping for cake out of scratch.
Hope he comes back. I would've told her to just.....
