Hey peeps! Hope you're having a great May. It'll be June already next Thursday! Not looking forward to the super HOT summer weather. It gets way too hot where I am. It's been a little warm lately but we ain't seen nothing yet!

We were in Kelowna for three weeks and had unseasonably warm weather while we were there. It's nice and cool here in Delta, BC now.
 
Still ... many absorb lightly .. not getting the depth! Tis the way of myth ... mostly denied! Cloudy or just the-IHC ...

In some traditions the sol is a fuzzy item.
 
Not too bad here this week. Low twenties, which is my comfort zone. Lots of sun, which could be a mixed blessing. Things are getting kind of dry here after a fairly wet April.
 
It's cool here today. It's a nice break from the heat. It looks like we're in for some really nice weather in the low 20's in the next few days.
 
Cool with occasional drizzle here. We planted the flower boxes this morning., with me moving very carefully to avoid setting off a headache. Hubby is continuing with other plants in the beds.
 
A yearly fundraiser, popular in Canadian churches. Coincides with strawberry season. It's cold roast turkey, ham, potato salad, coleslaw, jellied salad, buns, and devilled eggs, followed by local strawberries and ice cream.

It involves me roasting a turkey (church pays for), delivering it deboned to church Monday, buying, boiling and mashing 10 lbs of potatoes and delivering to church Monday, making two jellied salads (I specialize in a beautiful borscht jellied salad comprising beets, sweet onion, horseradish and sour cream, in a lemon jello base) delivering to church Tuesday, and washing dishes from 5-6:30 on the actual day. If I'm not so exhausted that I collapse and sleep, I do get a free dinner for this.

How many other people are doing this much work for the church supper?
 
There's plenty doing as much and more, and some of the hardest workers are 20 years my senior, LOL.

Today, we had four people in the kitchen to prep, serve and clean up after our weekly Kiwanis lunch. One in her 80s, one who must be almost 90, and George and I are "babies" in our sixties.
 
It is a community sort of work ... very disinteresting to those that are notoriously autonomous and isolated!

They may feint on their own ... thus singular black out's ... one must get beyond oneself to see it ... because of the shadow cast! Towering crap or just a Tor ...

There's a rumour that these are sources of aura G ... black? Mores on the Black Hole thing ...

This sounds like an unbelievable amount of volunteer labour to me.

What's the payoff for you and your congregation? Does it involve fellowship for the volunteers? Does it raise money for the church? Does it contribute to relationship building?
