Pancakes Washing Dishes

On Saturday we went to the Rotary Pancake Breakfast with Russ and Kathy. I stayed to help with the breakfast by clearing tables and then by working in the dish washer section pre-rinsing the plates etc. for the dish washing machine. Lots of fun. We served about 700 people breakfast by the time it was over. Then, Dee picked me up and we did some shopping with lunch later at her favorite Chinese restaurant.

On Sunday we went to church. The adult choir sang a patriotic cantata, "Land of the Free". It was well done and some children sang with the choir. The kids were especially amazing because they had it all memorized, probably because they were too young to be able to read the words.

Later in the day I just crashed awhile, read the newspaper and worked on learning some music. Dee went out in the afternoon and shopped for groceries. While she was gone, I began watching the Steeler game. We watched the disappointing end together. We watched a movie we'd recorded called "There are Butterflies in the Air." A good story about three sisters and their efforts to bring justice to the Dominican Republic by ousting a dictator. It was based on a true story and was well done.

Dee went back to the Receptionist job on Monday morning to continue the training to replace the girl who will be out for a maternity leave. However she has reservations about leaving the other job. So she has to make a decision about which job to keep and how many hours she wants to be working in the weeks and months ahead. I've started getting ready for preaching next Sunday at a church in Penn Hills that is non-denominational. A friend from my Pittsburgh days called and said he heard I was doing supply preaching and that they had a need for a speaker on the 16th. So why not?
