I don’t think I’ve mentioned this, but the reason for our quick trip east is Abe’s grandmother, who passed away in January. The official services are tomorrow, but today a small group of us piled into a rental van for a little memorial in Beach Haven, NJ (where she often vacationed)
Appropriate music from her time on satellite radio!
My breakfast:
The clouds parted and the sun shone down right as we were on the beach!
Afterwards we had lunch around 2:30 at nearby Buckalews
Dinner reservations at 7:30 so I ordered just a soup (Manhattan Clam Chowder)…
…knowing full well I’d be stealing bites. Some of Abe’s Portabello, Veggie, and Cheese
and David’s crab cake sandwich (too salty)
A whole bunch of fried foods! Half of these surprisingly yummy french fries
And a couple reeeeeally long sweet potato ones
My favorite were these Toasted Onion Battered Green Beans
I filled up on a few too many of those, with Ranch and Sweet Soy dipping sauce.
On the drive back we quickly stopped by Evergreen Dairy Bar for soft serve
Just a taste
Now we’re off to dinner! I’m still full so I’m sure I’ll just wind up eating off of everyone’s plates again…

what a lovely get together for Bubs.
aww sorry about abe’s grandma. that was a nice little ceremony. and the sun came out at the perfect time. very nice.
i cannot wait for summer and all that ice cream that needs taste testing! right? it’s a tough job but i’m ok with that.
Very nice get together. Looks like the weather cleared up a little there..
Those Onion Roasted Green Beans look mighty yummy. Gonna try to make them sometime.. Could be an innovative appetizer.
Have a good weekend!
Sounds like it was a lovely memorial.
Abe’s burger looks sooo yummy, portabellas can do no wrong!
I am so sorry to hear about Abe’s nana. I lost mine no too long ago and I know it has left an aweful hole.
My warm wishes and prayers are being sent your way.
In other, happier news, last night I saw source code and the entire time I watched it, I thought of you! The supporting female… christina, i think.. (played by Rachel or michelle moynahan?)
Just reminded me of you! I must have said to myself at least 5 or 6 times “Lynn is perfect for this role! She could play it SO much better!!”
I have been crossing my fingers for your “huge” audition! I really Really hope you get a call back!
even if you don’t, I sincerely believe that its only a matter a time before you’re such a big star you’ll have to start dodging nosy TMZ reporters!
Glad you were able to get together to acknowledge Bubs. Big hugs to you and Abe. I know she was very special to you all.
I am glad the weather cleared up so that there was perfect weather for the memorial.
The onion battered green beans look amazing.
I love to travel all over the world. I really enjoy reading your blog very much. Thanks for sharing this post.
