The little church just up the road held a fund raiser tonight. It was called a strawberry social, to be held from 4 to 7 today. Ken and I were unclear what was being served, other than strawberries, so we arrived just after 5 expecting them to serve a dessert and tea. But we were wrong. The good folks from the church were serving a full dinner, all cooked and served by them. Donations only.
By the time we arrived they were out of Polish sausages and cole slaw, but they had plenty of everything else: sloppy Joe's, hot dogs, potato salad, macaroni salad sauerkraut, green beans, baked beans and rolls. Of course, ice cream, cake and strawberries for dessert. The place was full, with folks still coming when we left just after 6. It was amazing to us, that we know very few people there. We must make a point to get to know more people. But maybe not.
I also don't know what they were raising money for. It seems that a good idea is the most important part. The new Minister, actually he has been there for four years, is very energetic and enthusiastic and it shows in the attendance. The building that they have always served dinner has been expanded with the roof raised and fans installed, so it is much more comfortable. And two excellent singers entertained us outside. All this for a donation.

So sorry to hear about the carriage house. I have so many good memories there. So glad I have so many pictures of Steph and I in and around two summers ago.
Yes, we are pleased to have the pictures. It is amazing to see the pictures now, and terrible too. Let's remember the happy memories.
