I'll try too !

It would be a disaster for the BB if our most regular scribe is unable to post ! Keep trying Rosey ! It surely must have just been a temporary glitch in the system.

A cooler and wet morning here. Things are still growing in the garden, they will get a shock when the frosts come (so will I !) A day at home today and I plan to make some soups to put in the freezer. I seem to be out a lot these days so I like to prepare food on the days that I am home. Belonging to an active church is exactly where I want to be, but , since the earthquake, there have been many needs in the community and not so many people free and able to help out. Eight years ago we built our new church (more like a community center than a traditional church building) and it is being well used. We kept the small house that was on the section , and it has been used for various purposes over the years. This year we converted it into a cafe . We are open three days a week for four hours a day. It has become a bit of a drop in center and a place where people can access information. We prepare the simple food in the commercial kitchen at church and sell it on a "donation only " basis. In the three months that we have been open we have covered costs and made a profit of $60 ! It's a fun place to be and we get to meet some really interesting people.

Not a lot of time for quilting but I've always got one (or two) on the go ! Maybe I'll get some time later today or over the w/end.

We are off out tonight to see the local production of "Guys and Dolls" . It should be fun , they put something on every year and, with virtually no entertainment available in Christchurch these days, they will probably be performing to sell out crowds, every night !

Enjoy the w/end.
Marion.
