Apple Cake and Hookers

Brian loves apples.  He also loves cake.  So you can only imagine his joy when in this month's Southern Living they had a recipe for their "best ever" apple cake.  He's been wanting to make it for a few weeks, but finally bought all the stuff to make it this weekend, and he wasn't disappointed.  He told me about 10 times (OK, maybe 3) last night alone how much he loves apple cake.  The funny part though is that aparently he ate apple cake about 7 years ago and has been looking for a recipe to make it ever since.  Who knew he's been searching for 7 years for apple cake?  I didn't!  And who remembers such an event from 7 years ago?  My Brian.  It must have been some apple cake.  I on the other hand can hardly remember what I ate yesterday, let alone 7 years ago, and have never heard of apple cake before yesterday.  It's yummy, but what makes me smile most is seeing Brian so happy over something as simple as apple cake.  What a guy!

On a totally different note - Grant has lost his hookers.  Yesterday he was playing with his trains and cars and couldn't find the pieces that hook the parts together and he kept saying "I can't find the hookers...where are my hookers?"  Brian and I couldn't stop laughing.  I hope he finds his hookers soon.

I'm happy for Brian! :) I just had my first (I think) apple cake last week, and it was heavenly. I'm glad he's got a recipe for it now! And good luck to Grant. It's tough to be without your hookers. That is so funny!

Thanks for the laugh--that so funny about Grant looking for his hookers. Hee hee.

That's cute about Brian and his apple cake. I'm so glad he has found fulfillment in the apple cake arena. :)

Science Center & Niagara Falls

Image
Brian took this picture of a bridge competition that was going on at the conference center.  That is a lot of bridge players! While Brian was conferencing, we ventured out in our car to the Science Center across town.  It was awesome!  We loved the interactive displays and things to do.  It was way, way fun. This frog is the cutest, saddest, frog I've ever seen.  He was so adorable. Haley loves turtles! We tried some Pizza Pizza for lunch in the cafeteria.  Not bad! This wooden slide was awesome in their little forest.  Grant went flying down it like a rocket.  Once he didn't get his footing right to stop and he kept on flying.  It was sooo funny.  He had a little bum rash from the slide, but was okay. What a good sister...picking out the mulch from Grant's shorts after he went flying off the slide.  hahaha. After finding so many good deals at the outdoorsy place the night before, I decided we ne...

Aquarium & CN Tower

Image
The next morning, we walked over to the Aquarium and beat the crowds.  It was a really cool aquarium - better than we expected.   Our favorite part was the tube that you could walk through.  This big sea creature was just sitting on the top of the tube.  It was so cool to check him out and to see all the sharks everywhere.  You really get a good look at all their crazy shark teeth when you are below them!   After lunch, we headed for an afternoon swim at the hotel pool. Then we headed over to St. Lawrence Market and met Brian for dinner.  I got fish and chips, Grant got homemade ravioli, Haley got chinese and Brian got perogies.  Everyone was happy!  It was fun to walk around the market. Next, we headed over the CN tower as a family.  It's a very high way up! The glass floor was super crazy to walk on.  It made me so nervous!  Man, that is a long way down! ...

Dearborn, Michigan

On our way to another conference in Toronto, we stopped over outside of Detroit in Dearborn, Michigan - where the Ford headquarters are.  We stayed at the historic Dearborn Inn, which Henry Ford designed, and is now managed by Marriott, and went to the Henry Ford Museum.   There are tons of Ford factories, offices, test tracks and museums all over...but man, do they need to pave their roads!  They were full of potholes everywhere.  Poor Detroit/Dearborn.  Hopefully they can pave someday soon.   Brian and I had been to the museum before, but it has been over 20 years for me...and they had changed quite a bit.  It was fun to walk around and look at all of the neat cars, trains, airplanes and other equipment.    This is the original oscar myer hotdog mobile.   This is the actual bus - not a replica - of the bus in Montgomery Alabama where Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus.  Grant is sitting in her ...
