Oh spring, with your broken promises! From Birkenstocks to boots, and back again. Should we put the shovels away? Of course not, it isn't May!
Today was chilly and rainy, and brrr, I wore my Birkenstocks to church.
We've been doing this thing after our church meeting, where someone volunteers to make a meal, the rest of us donate, and all the money goes to fundraising/youth fund. This week Benjamin and Ashley made lasagna. They went all out: garlic bread, and a garden salad with all the good veggies, set up like a salad bar. It was fabulous. The young girls also run a coffee bar, so we can sit and talk and sip...the smell of coffee along just invites fellowship. Margaret made vanilla/cake batter cupcakes with birdnests and Easter candy eggs on top, I made chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream frosting and Reeses's Pieces on top...
(We donate them, and the girls sell them with the coffee)
Later in the day, after dropping dinner off to Emily, Abigail, and Mariel, Margaret and Adrian came to visit with Wulf and Tennyson. We put some chicken drumsticks in the oven. When they were done, I put barbecue sauce all over them, and turned the oven to broil. Mmmm, and better than standing in the rain and grilling. Fries in the air fryer, sliced cucumbers, and a simple dinner after a scrumptious lunch.
