volunteer mania

Friday led to exercise, but I went to Bonny and Joe’s for soil and to the Thomson orchard to get our free ½ gallon of orange juice. When Evelyn returned we began preparing for the etouffee dinner on Sunday. I am the souche chef so I chopped parsley, onions, celery, and scallions. I also cooked the boudin that will be an appetizer. We had lunch on our porch, and, on the way back into the house, Evelyn dropped a half full jar of Vidalia onion relish. It made a mess, but we cleaned it up in fairly short order. We used our hose to clean up the mess. Fortunately we had no time to cry at the loss because we had to jump on our bikes and ride to the hospital for our afternoon of volunteering. We rode back home at 5 and Evelyn went to bed before our next volunteering stint at the stock show. We went to Mercedes at 6:30, shared a stuffed baked potato, and worked at the Lutheran Laymen’s League booth until 9:15. We gave out free tracts and Bibles to anyone who wanted them. We left and went to Wal-Mart on the way home because we need rice for the etouffee. When we came home, Evelyn began a load of white laundry. Somehow I use my underwear and socks pretty fast.
