Well, not quite, but Margie did volunteer to do a breakfast and lunch for a diocesan event down at the church, planning for the 65 who RSVPed (though the actual total was closer to 50). Muffins and croissants and yogurt and granola for breakfast (plus fruit and juice coffee). For lunch, two yummy soups (potato cheese bacon and italian chicken), plus five different salads, bread, cookies and fruit for dessert. And lemonade.<\/p>\n
Yeah.<\/p>\n
Katherine and I did go down to help with final prep and setup and serving and cleanup for lunch, but Margie deserves the kudos. It was all quite yummy. And, given how ostensibly easily she did it, quite marvelous.<\/p>\n
(No, it wasn’t actually that trivial an effort on her part, by any means. But if I had to do it, it would have been five times the work for something a third as good, so Margie really does deserve a big round of applause for it all.)<\/p>\n
(Kitten was helpful, except when she was deciding not to be helpful, in which case she was passively helpful by staying out of the way.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
