Random Rock Garden

This little rock, river, and floral display was outside the little restaurant where I had dinner this evening with the UMW of the Sergeanstiville UMC. The food inside was pretty good and the company was enjoyable as we chatted and ate surrounded by all sorts of televisions discussing the most heated rivalries in World Cup history. Funny, not many of those match-ups involved the USA......

Shrove Tuesday - Pancake Dinner!

The tradition of using up the fats and oils before fasting during the season of Lent continues in the form of pancake dinner at churches on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.

My dad and a few other men
belonging to the pancake brigade of Sergeantsville UMC
were there with griddles and pancake turners in hand at 4:45

Bob measuring out perfectly sized silver dollar pancakes.

Dad tending to little link sausages from the Amish market

Ray pouring out more tasty medallions

Vigilant and ever watchful of what is cooking,
conversation and good times are still had in the kitchen

Ed got lots of pointers from everyone

Everyone is a critic when the turner isn't in their hand.

His wife Mary Beth was just happy he was making dinner for a change!
