The hubster and I are the leads for our parishes Labor Day Picnic. It is the 158th year for this picnic so the pressure is on. It has been an exhausting process keep all the moving parts from crashing down on our heads.
Today, all the food arrived and the most important pieces of the weekend...
grouchy_historian Ok. As far as I'm concerned the most important delivery of the day is complete. 💩 "You shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out to it. And you shall have a trowel with your tools, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig a hole with it and turn back and cover up your excrement. Because the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you. " Deuteronomy 23:12-14 #smoslabordaypicnic2016 #picnicking #shouldhavethepatienceofjob #standingonmyverylastnerve #yupiwentthere

While we were waiting for the 1100 chicken halves to arrive at the picnic site, Jerry and I took advantage of the lull and did a little fall grave clean up by our sweet Courtney's head stone. I chose purple, orange and yellow this time. By the time we were done, the Cisco truck had arrived. It made me smile to see everything looking spiffed up again.
Sunday's a BIG day in the church. The awesome and spectacularly wonderful Blessed Mother Teresa will be canonized becoming Saint Teresa of Calcutta. Imagine, my Courtney is hanging out with her (and all the other saints) in heaven. I wonder what they talk about.
After checking out Grace's post on furniture painting, I am now inspired to get going on my own furniture projects. Only a few more weeks at the church and then it's home again for this chick. Well, for a few days anyway. Then there are talks to give and books to write.

Looking for a quick summer meal...I'm here for you my friends. Check out this little diddy...

| Barefoot Contessa's Crunchy Noodle Salad |
I have made this at least once a week the entire summer. Never a complaint to be heard my friends. It is so freaking good.
One more gram from the hubster's feed. Yes, he is this funny every day. Yes, I am a very lucky girl. Oh...he is kind of cute as well.
@marylenaburg The final shipment of Twinkies arrived 1522 EDST. Operation Hostess is now complete. "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!" Psalm 100:4 #smoslabordaypicnic2016 #kingofthepicnic #standingonmyverylastnerve #shouldhavethepatienceofjob #readyforcoldtastybeverage#itsfiveoclocksomewhere #poopedpup

May your picnic be as wonderful as all the effort you put into it. May you be able to enjoy it as much as all those served. Have a blessed day and a wonderful time. And yes, those flowers are so cheery. - Blessings
ReplyDeleteMary! This is Seven Quick Tales thing is SOOO fun! I decided to write one and link up too. That crunchy noodle salad looks delicious! Have a great picnic this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything went smoothly at the picnic and that you didn't need any of the first aid kits and that all of the Twinkies got eaten and that none of the porta-potties tipped over. Wishing you enough!
ReplyDeleteHope your picnic went well. It's lots of work, but worth it in the end.
