WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
Here is what it sounds like when you beat a dead horse!
I know that we have been talking more and more about the cruise but here we go again. We are booking in the next couple of days and are trying to figure out how many people are planning to go. Please e-mail us so we can get an idea of how many people want to party with us in January!
Well Greg only has one class and one exam left until he is done with school! YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! just four and a half months left. He takes his one exam tomorrow so we are going to wish him luck. GOOD LUCK!
Greg is also still doing the whole choir thing. They are practicing for the Christmas Cantata program. It is weird to think of getting ready for christmas in july (not Leon aka christmas in july) strange hearing christmas songs when it's still 90 degrees outside. I sure hope that it sounds good considering they are starting now. anywho time to get to bed yak at ya later.
A view of the world from the stance of Laura and Greg K.-C. A healthy Happy place to be on this crazy planet we call earth!!

People of many Tastes…
A few words about why working in the food biz is so cool… I find it very interesting how many different people from all over the world work in the food bizz….So people say it’s because it is so labor intensive, and the pay isn’t always great. But cooking food is something all people have in common, all over the world….we all have to eat. And it’s amazing the things you learn from all these wonderful people, about food and traditions. To give an example my crew today consisted of folks from Italy, Bulgaria, Philippines, and me. We talked about what food was like when we grew up. Who cooked, what we ate…what a typical dinner was like at home. It was really fun…And the day went very smooth. Typical Friday, 2 parties over 200, it was quite easy, but we are all pro’s. Sat should be an easy day…. Only one group of 110 for dinner… cake walk…

On A SERIOUS NOTE FOLKS!!!
A FRIEND OF MINE AT WORK WAS VERY LUCKY THIS PAST WEEKEND!!! He was doing the usual yard work in the backyard when he pulled the cord on his electric blower and fell backwards into his pool. He was electrocuted, and was fortunate to live to tell about it. So a note to all my friends trying to keep there yards nice, please be careful. It’s a danger that many of us may not see, but need to be aware of.
NEED SOME PRAYERS!!!
Also Remi, my good friend and co worker of the last 5 years is having a rough time with her health. She could use a few extra prayers. She is an awesome lady, and is always making sure everyone is doing okay. She’s kinda like our offical kitchen Mom..So if you could give a big shout out to the man upstairs, I would be grateful!!!!
On a lighter note…..
Greg has had a second interview for a job opportunity, and he said it went well!!! We will keep you posted!!! Say a little prayer for him too!!!

Then the Nich's came over after work and we took in a swim and dinner. We had pork chops on the grill, roasted potato and fresh sauted squash...yummy.

Sundays are great when you get the day off!!!
Here’s a quick run down of my day…..
Yes, I had a nice day away from work!!!! We went to church. Greg sang in the choir (lalalala) And I sat with Karen and Joe. Unfortunately, Greg had to jet off to work will I went for a coffee with The Nich’s that would be Karen and Joe. We picked up some car cleaning products, and headed over to their house. For all you guys not in the loop they bought a house in the Jacksonville area, a couple of weeks ago. I have to say it’s coming along quite splendidly. Joe and I spent the afternoon washing and waxing cars, my little car is so shiny and happy. The weather was perfect, breezy and a little overcast. It was almost like a cool front, not really. Then after Greg came over after work we had a yummy dinner made by Karen. Steak on the grill, jasmine rice, mixed veggies tooo! We even had some blueberry buckle for dessert. We popped in a movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the one recent remake. I liked it a lot it was really weird and cool!!!
If you want to see a good movie I recommend The Blue Butterfly , if you get a chance to see it you will enjoy it. It’s good for the whole family too!!! That’s a wrap on my Sunday, and it’s back to work on Monday.
Highlights from the eighth stage of the Tour de France
Stage: The 112-mile eighth stage cut westward from the town of Saint-Meen-le-Grand through Brittany to the coastal city of Lorient.
Winner: France's Sylvain Calzati of the AG2R team in 4 hours, 13 minutes, 18 seconds. Liquigas rider Kjell Carlstrom of Finland was second, and France's Patrice Halgand of Credit Agricole placed third.
Yellow Jersey: T-Mobile rider Serhiy Honchar of Ukraine retained the overall lead Sunday, after winning the seventh stage time trial a day earlier.
Quote of the Day: "I am perhaps going to set France against me, but I have chosen my side" -- Calzati on his preference for Italy to win the World Cup final against France later Sunday.
Next stage: Monday is a rest day, before a mostly flat ninth stage along 105.3 miles across the southwest from Bordeaux to Dax on Tuesday
