Just the this and that of this day!

Whew into April already! Wow where does the time go.

Grandma is back and into baking right away. Good thing because I hate baking and we need heaps of cookies for the group this weekend. Grandma’s cookies, as many of you know, are an addictive thing. Rob, we call him the “cookie monster” is always sneaking them when he is not working on the new studio across the parking space.

A busy hive of activity today around here. Pastor A is enjoying his last moments of quiet before his team arrives for the weekend. It will be almost full house with 22 of them coming. One of the secrets to having things go smoothly in the kitchen is to get as much done before hand as possible. So Grandma is going to make butter tarts, the angle food lemon dessert needs some finishing touches, I will shortly grill the veggies for the grilled vegetable pasta lunch dish and a fresh batch of granola is ready for their breakfast. Right now a pot of stew is simmering for supper tonight. It’s a new recipe I saw where you have beef, heaps of onions, carrots, herbs and two bottles of beer and then just let it simmer. Smells not bad! Ron and Gwen are off on a “dump date”. Dumping and dates are not meant to go together are they? There is just a lot of stuff needing to go to the dump today and Gwen knows if she goes along Ron will take her out for coffee! You have to grab every moment you can in a busy life right? And we had a weird lunch today, we had pancakes. Funny eh?

So the rooms are ready, the welcome letters are on the bed, the food is under control and if we can get the tables set for lunch tomorrow we will be okay. Anticipation is what we are feeling about this weekend and we hope the guests will experience it too.

We’re off to the Ukraine in May – want to join us?

That is the news, weather and activity schedule for this Friday afternoon on the first of April 2005, from Linwood House!
