A room with a view.
Sunrise over Mt. Vernon.
One of the first things I do when I get up in the morning is open the dining room blinds so I can see the sunrise. This morning it was especially beautiful.
I got up early to make more rolls and then I finished spraying the roll baskets black.
Chuck and Kathy Crane brought over their 2 roaster ovens and I got mine out of the cupboard. Two will be filled with potatoes and the other will be used to heat up rolls.
Around noon Blain and Diana Curtis come and take everything to the church except the rols, potatoes, and black baskets. James came home early from work. We both needed and took a nap.
I got up from my nap and began writing the talk I am giving tonight on the Virtue value project, which is reading the Book of Mormon. I found a couple of good talks, one by Sharon Larsen and the other by President Faust. The talk only needs to be about five minutes long so I have plenty of information. I hurried to get ready to go so I could be at the church at 5. Let the fun begin!
Trenda came early to help. She is the best help. Analee and Diana were also a great help in the kitchen. The young men were our servers and James, Blaine Curtis, and John Wilhelm cooked the steaks. There weren't as many people as we had planned for so we had tons of food left over.
Here are some of the photos I took.
"Stand Ye in Holy Places"
Diana did the decorating, I did the dinner, and Kaeli did a slide show
of the girls at camp. The girls loved the slide show!
Tyler Hunsaker and Brother Ulmer.
Alice Wilhelm and Hope Lootans.
Two of our servers, Kendall Hall, and Glenzo Swift.
Kendall, Jace Applegate, Glenzo, and Tyler.
Others who served: Westin Hall, Rusty Allen, and Talon Wilhelm.
They did an awesome job!
For dinner we had steaks cooked in the dark that were delicious, baked potatoes, salad, rolls, and cheesecake for dessert. I got lots of compliments on the salad. I think it was the Olive Garden dressing.
It was a fun everning, but I am so glad it is over. Again Trenda stayed until the kitchen was completely clean. I appreciate her so much!
