We had the most relaxing stop-off in LA with Grandma and Grandpa Doell. After a summer of endless work (or rather, work and play) it was really great to just have absolutely nothing to do for a few days. The weather was pristine, the pool was a crisp 90 degrees- just how I like it,
and Cameron's chess game was really on point. I wouldn't know, but he went to the local library with Grandpa for Chess Fridays and they stayed for 5 hours. Yes, you read correctly, 5 hours of public library chess, so I should hope his game was on point after that.Anyone who has ever been to my grandparents house knows that Grandma Doell always greets you with a chocolate cake. Accompanying this cake is usually a rendition of "If I knew you were coming, I'd have baked a cake"- the only other person I've known to tout this song was Lindsey Foat after she'd had a 1/2 shot of Jack Daniels and a few Keystone Lights during the Warpath of SB2k9. (please refer to videos on my facebook page)
This bowl is also a mainstay at the grandparents house, although I assure you, I was not grumpy at all. I slept well, ate well, and lived well.
Billy and Bre also drove all the way from San Francisco to give me a nice sendoff karaoke on my grandparents player piano.
Talk about great friends, and also I got to finally meet Bre's parents, a dream I've held for a few years now. A little known fact about the Martins is their love of humming birds, they reckon they have about 75 buzzing around, and I might say this is an under-estimation.
