Lauren was in heaven with a huge cup full of Grandma Cannon's famous homemade hot cocoa consisting of 1% milk (whole milk if Grandma had her choice) Hershey's cocoa, lots of sugar, ice cream and if we had it there would be some kind of cream it too. Look at that face! This is what my mom would give a couple of brother's every morning before school to get them out of bed. There were a few of us that were never converted to the dark side of so much sweet in the morning.
Grandma & Great Grandma didn't know they were coming to get a makeover. Lauren opened shop and went to work right away. Sorry Mom that I didn't have any fingernail polish remover on hand.
Grandpa did know what he was getting into when he entered the water with this crew and he gave them all a little taste of their own medicine. All good!!!!!
They were in California for Great Grandma's 90th birthday and were happy that they were able to make it to Bakersfield while in California. This was another short visit, less than 24 hours. (They are getting famous for that.) We miss them and are sad that we can't hop in the car and drive 5 hours like we used to be able to visit, now it is like 25 hours. 
One more thing we did while they were here was a visit to Famous Dave's BBQ for lunch. My dad who used to be a butcher and could live off of meat and potatoes for the rest of his life said this was better than any BBQ he has had in Texas. WOW!!!
We shared this platter of scrumptious BBQ that they serve up on a trash can lid and then supply you with a nice big role of paper towels. Oh how we love good food! We had chicken, brisket and ribs. Even all the beans, cole slaw, corn, potatoes and cornbread were good.

Really! Really? You like Famous Dave's better than Texas BBQ? It is pretty much all they have here in Virginia and it just can't compare... in my opinion. :(
