Swinging on Silver

Pizza Train

Day 409:

The Deckers arrived today for a long weekend, 4th of July celebration, visit,...but we (the Kellys) had Silver Beach Pizza on our minds.

"Is that train really stopping here?" Jack looked on as the train pulled into the station and other on-lookers at Silver Beach Pizza greeted the passengers who were departing the train.
"Yeah. It's a train station," as I too stared at the giant metal frame of the train sitting on the tracks about 15 feet from our table.

After downing our pizza and waving goodbye to the train, it was one quick trip to the beach for the sunset.
"This is awesome and the best sunset ever," Shanna commented as she made her way into the sand with Max and Hannah.
"There will be another one just like it tomorrow night too," I thought I would give her something to cling to as the sun dropped below the horizon.

What would make a perfect night cap to their first night in Michigan? You guessed it,... a fire and Kim's strawberry pie.

Day 1 of the Michigan Deckers comes to a close as Shanna and Hannah settle in. Happy Fourth everyone!

Chew on This

Day 407:

"Where are you?" I had to place the call, we were already running short on cookies!
"I'm at the store. Hey, I missed 9 calls. Was that you?" Kim's response seemed a little less frantic than what I had hoped for.

"YES! That would have been me, trying to reach you," we were in the beginning of the Cookies for Cancer and already running short on inventory. Kim had planned on baking a few more batches, but the fact that we had not checked the egg supply left our ingredients a bit lacking - Chef Ramsey would not have been happy.


Hannah had a great day yesterday as the community rolled up to the the front of our house for cookies and lemonade,.. and a chance to speak with Hannah a bit. I, of course, was banned from the cookie area for no particular reason other than,.... "Dad, here comes some people, you need to go now," Hannah put to me in a matter of fact manner. I can only assume that she felt that if I were there, they would want to talk to me instead of her handling things herself. Fair enough. I became the runner man (run for this, run for that).

When the whole family got rolling we made quite the team - even Sam and Dustin (my nephew) decided to jump into the cookie making experience. We will add the disclaimer though that we DID NOT sell any of their creations. Yet, surprisingly enough, the lumped together cookie of mush was very tasty.

Hannah, along with the assistance of Max and Lilly (my niece) doubled their June sales in one day. She already has plans to purchase books, games, and crafts for the children.

Someone did ask for her hours. Good question! It's been during baseball games up to this point, but they wrap up with the league this week,....so, we'll have to put some thought to this question and get back to everyone. We've talked about it and she would like to continue. Any thoughts - place your vote on the poll.
