Our new favorite Sunday breakfast spot is

Goodrich Seafood and Oyster House in Oak Hill. Our customers recommended it, because they love good food. What a surprise to find the owner is Paul Galbreath. He was our first and favorite Sysco salesmen when we opened our restaurant in Titusville. Great food runs in the Galbreath family, who owns the legendary Aunt Catfish inPort Orange, Florida.

We are happy to now be associated with this fabulous B & B in Cocoa Village. Gail Lightle worked long and hard on bringing this beautiful building to life. Parrish Grove Inn is open and ready for buisness.

Charlotte especially likes Chase. She looks at him and is reminded of many of the beautiful blue eyed Siberian Huskies she left behind atTrillium Blue Siberiansin Georgia._____________________________________________________We have great memories of our RADIO GRILL shows on WPIO fm. One Sunday at 6:15pm, Season 8 top scoring American Idol, Ricky Braddy performed LIVE from the First Christian Church at JayJay and Old Dixie Highway in Titusville. And what a concert it was! We caught it all on WPIO 89.3FM.

Carole Henry joined Gwen and ChefLarry's Z at the Titusville Cruise-In.

New Director Diana Schmidt

Rick "Comrade" enjoyed his Beef Stroganoff that I made for him so much that he took me over to his Starfighter '69 matching blue Camaro.

Now that "Comrade" is working with NASA he's in town more frequently.  Armando, Chef/Owner of Mar Azul treated Rick and his crew and fans (us) to a great dinner on the last evening of April. 

Since this photo and our last wonderful evening at Mar Azul, Armando the talented and generous and beautiful soul was killed while driving his motorcycle. May his soul rest in peace and his family learn to deal with their loss and know that the Lord had his reason for taking him at such an early and unexpected time.

  Here he  is with Jeff after the pick-up.

Then, we hopped into my DodgeTruck and headead to the Tampa area to put the order in for our new cards.  Why that far?  Because I love driving my Dodge and these guys at Desco ate the BEST.  You don't really have to go there to put your order in.  You can order on line at www.DescoPrinting.com I just like feeding the guys.  They work better that way. Or so they tell me.Jockmo barely got in the shot with Jim, ChefLarry, Tim and Chris

Sam Beddingfield flew this beauty, he fondly calls "VooDoo" back in his days as a Test Pilot in North Carolina before he signed on to be among the first 30 people at NASA for the Mercury Launch.  Sam claims that 1,200 MPH was no big thing - just part of the job.  If you're lucky to attend the Warbird Museum on any Tuesday, Sam will show you around this wonderful, Titusville adventure.

 There are a lot of things that made my Chicago trip worthwhile, however nothing topped the joy of seeing my life-long friend, Joe Yonan and his beautiful family.

Then, a few days later Joe and I met up with our buddy, Al at Reza's on Clark Street in Chicago.
