I know they don't call it MEA (Minnesota Education Association) anymore, it is now Education Minnesota Conference but it just doesn't have the same ring to it. It just goes to show you That not every idea is a good idea. I like MEA, everyone knows what you are talking about, in fact it is a good time for kids and grand kids to come home. John and Andrew showed up last night. It seems like they haven't been up forever. I need to make some chocolate chip cookies.
Do you know I went to town 4 times yesterday. Thank goodness we only live 2 miles out of Remer. No we won't answer the question why couldn't I do it all on one trip.
One thing I an excited about is the Pastor's Christmas gift. I am collecting the funds for it and we are giving it to him on Sunday. Lucky man. I love one-hundred dollar bills.
At 9am, Janet and I served for WELCA (Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America). I may my famous egg bake, Heidi's recipe but it always seems to be a hit. It was a good Bible study too, Jean does such a nice job as leader.
At 3:30 Jean and I met Terry from school and gave her all the winter coats, hats, scarves, mittens and boots we had left from our Winter Care and Share. Jean coordinated, I was the legs. I had $400 and shopped thrift stores, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Savers, Target and Walmart, next year we plan on calling it Coats for Kids. Tells more, we learn how to better utilize our funds. It's funny because last night on the news we heard they have over 9,000 coats for kids. We are indeed small potatoes, but we feel if we have kept one kid warm, it's all been worth it.
