Good Food and Family

We had planned to take our children and their dates to Fuji (an Hibachi Grill) over the Christmas break. We were unable to work around all of our work schedules so we didn't get to go.

We finally had a night where we were all off so we met at Fuji's in Fort Smith last night. I was able to snap a few pictures while we were there but the lights were low so they did not turn out very well.

Kelsey & Ismael deciding what to eat.

Becca, Craig, and Larry (probably making fun of me for having my camera with me.)

Our chef putting on a show with his knifes. (He's moving so fast, it's a blur.)

The young lady in the picture was not with us. She is cracking up because the chef made a volcano using onions. He set it on fire and then used a plastic squirt gun that was a little boy peeing to put the fire out. Funny stuff!

A fun night out. Thanks kids.

Take Care and God Bless!

Show and Tell Friday

Last Saturday, Larry and I attended a fund raiser for the small Catholic School where I taught for 6 1/2 years and was principal for the last 3 1/2 years. It was an annual Mardi Gras dinner and dance which was started 11 years ago. The evening starts with appetizers from 6 to 7 and a dinner and dance from 7 to 11. The highlight of the evening (and the money maker) is a grand silent auction. Each year it gets bigger and better.

This year I won the following item from the silent auction.

This item was made by our parish priest. He is an accomplished welder.

Last year he made a beautiful sculpture that was about three times the size as the one I won this year but was made out of the same material. I called it the Risen Christ because it looked like a man was rising from the center of a flower. I would have bid on it but the starting bid was $300 by a lady that was not attending the fund raiser. I think I was the only person attending the event that liked the sculpture. It was was too contemporary, I guess.

But, I like things that are unusual and one of a kind. And the sculptures he makes are both.

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for . . . (I think . . .)

I endured all of that for one decent picture. Mess around with me and this is what you'll get. Your goofy pictures on my blog. 

Gotta love 'em. Really, I don't know what I would do without them.

Take Care and God Bless.
