Lunch at Carol and David's house

oh baby.... i think I put on 10 lbs today....

Carol and david had us over for lunch today.... Ribs, big HUGE JUICY hamburgers, and all KINDS of extras... garden salad, potatoe salad, etc etc etc....

Katie and I stopped on the way home from church to pick up a couple of items for lunch.. we brought home some big olives,.... and to kick it up a notch ( to quote Emeril ) .... we peeled some fresh garlic... sliced them into slivers and stuffed the olives with garlic... OH BABY were they good.... i will say this though.....while we were singing in the evening service, the people in the first 5 rows got up and moved back... hmmmmmm!

the piece de resistance of the meal was Carol's dessert .... Death By Chocolate.... if the garlic doesn't kill you, the calories in THIS dessert WILL... ay yi yi

After church, Carol and David and Katie had a practice for VBS ... that left Jacob with me.... We played soccer in the church parking lot for a while... but since I'm so gracefully UNFIT, it was not exactly a fair game.... he could outrun me like crazy... of course, I'd just pick him up and throw him in the bushes.....

besides... it was hot and sweaty outside.... we took the game IN, and played soccer in the church foyer ( My grandmother would NOT be impressed ) ......

we didn't play SOCCER per se, we had a contest... we stood on opposite sides of the foyer, beside a big brick column... the rules were : you had to hold your hand on the column, kick the ball and try to hit the other column... it was a shoot out of EPIC proportions....

we tied 7-7 !! it was pretty fun, I'll say!
