It's Time Again....

It's Saturday again. Only 2-ish.

I'm so excited! I got some new cardmaking stuff in my mailslot this week and I have a bit of time to play with it!

This morning we had a Cadet fundraising breakfast at the local retirement complex. The people LOVED seeing the boys in their uniforms!! The parents scooped the eggs, sausages and hashbrowns and the boys were in the dining hall clearing the dishes up and setting the tables with fresh cutlery and cups. It went so well! All the food was ready on time and the people trickled in slowly so there were no long lineups... I stationed myself at a sink and kept the coffee carafes full. Other moms were pouring coffee as the seniors sat. I think it was very gezellig. I really love working in the kitchen on days like that. I love serving too but today...the sink was fine. It was the boys day to shine.

We also have an extra Korean son for the weekend. This boy goes to the same school as Eddy, in Korea. They are playing Guitar Hero right now, experiencing part of North American techological culture. It's very important that they have a well rounded experience right?! They might all go to a movie tonight....it depends on Ray's finishing his prepacking for Algonquin. He is going up North for the next two weekends.... He came late to the breakfast this morning and the other dads were joking that Ray was probably home waxing his canoe...they all wanted to be golfing...but duty calls. Eddy went to bed with a headache and a scratchy throat and coughing last night. ....but was fine this morning. I let him sleep in and they came a bit later. Ray got quite a ribbing. The neat thing is that the guys all went father-son Cadet camping last weekend. Neat how far the bonding goes....

I get to make some thankyou cards for the food donors to the breakfast. Duty calls, people!!!

I have all the laundry done, I painted a whole apartment with my friend Dianne, (Helina was in Holland), cleaned the church, cleaned for Pastor Koole, set up for the breakfast, made breakfast and cleaned up and now....I GET TO MAKE CARDS....
