Cheeseballs Bring Comfort in Painful Times

Notice the smile on my nephew Nolan's face... this is not normal for a 7 year old who just broke his arm. Could it be the presence of Auntie Molly? Or perhaps the cheeseballs?

The Cheeseballs didn't work too well on the doctor, but Nolan felt some extra comfort with them near!
Nolan was a great sport after breaking his arm and having to wear a cast. He did milk me for more cheeseballs than normal, though!

Even Arthur's Jewelers embraces Cheeseballs!

Katie accompanied me to Arthur's Jewelers to ahhh... well... just browse around for no particular reason, really... well... anyway - we met Mandy, who proved to be the sweetest part of our day! She took genuine interest in us and our stories. I can only hope we and the cheeseballs made her feel as valuable as she made us feel!
These kids jumped on the photo opp and free cheeseballs while their parents browsed for rings.

Out on the Town

Check out my friend, Donny Todd, at www.myspace.com/donnytoddmusic
I met Nick while listening to Donny play. We enjoyed a good chat and this quote was the hightlight of my evening: "Seriously. You ride a motorcycle, you carry cheeseballs around and you're a virgin!? I think I need a picture with you!"

More fun times with new acquaintances!

Cheeseballs go to Toronto, Canada on Missions Trip

I had the privilege of being a leader with this group as we served the city of Toronto, Canada.


I met these curious folks at a resturant along the way. Notice how comfortable everyone is! Cheeseballs break the ice!

I had fun with this group!


Random kids on a random street.

He liked my cheeseballs too.
At an info booth - notice the awe!

I met this cute little girl in the park. She must have eaten close to 20 cheeseballs before I cut her off!
Katie Hatton - I like you!

I met this little league team in Culvers while traveling through Chicago.

A Warm Welcome in Greek Town, Toronto

From Alexander the Great to Kaela at the Chocolate shop... my cheeseballs were loved by the Greeks!
Kaela was handing out chocolate samples outside a shop when she noticed my dispenser.
She quickly became enthusiastic about my cheeseballs.
We decided that chocolate and cheese go well together.
The owner of Kalyvia made my cheeseballs feel very welcome in his shop! He also served AMAZING food - check it out if you are in Greek Town Toronto!
This was my favorite resturant by far - great food and friendly staff!
The employees liked my cheeseballs too! Jennifer was our host for the week in Toronto. The gentleman on the right worked at Kalyvia's and provided great food and service!
This table flagged me down as I was leaving the resturant. We chatted a few minutes, exchanged some laughs and they sent me with a $5 tip that I tried hard to turn down!

After a sweet time with these folks, I was flagged down by another group that wanted to vote me in as the next US President, have me sit on their motorcyles, and help celebrate a birthday!

Mary Lynn spoke passionately about getting me on a campaign for the next US President!


Rob let me add cheeseballs to his birthday cake and then inisted that I sit on his motorcycle - I didn't argue!


Cheeseballs See Niagra Falls

I had a lot of requests while on the Maid in the Mist!These girls chased me down for more!

Helping out at Booth Industries, Toronto Canada

Booth Industries provides jobs for the mentaly dissabled and they welcomed our group as well as another group from Pennsylivania (above) to assist their workers by speeding up the production in the factory.
Tanner was from the group in PA and shared with me that the UTZ Headquarters (where cheeseballs are made!) is about 10 minutes from where he lives!
Nancy asked for a picture and a cheeseball.
Andrew was excited to get a cheeseball.
DJ's smile and sense of humor encouraged us all! I'll never forget when he asked to pray for us before we left.
Talking with Roy was the highlight of my time at Booth Industries.
Marilyn was sweet, not only because she liked my cheeseballs!
Jamie was a fan for sure!
Betty was by far the biggest fan of my cheeseballs - she kept calling me back for more!
Jason asked me for a couple cheeseballs a couple times!
