SALVATION ARMY SHELTER LUNCHEON....CHECK!

We had one heck of a storm last night! Thunder, wind, rain and boy, was it LOUD!! Tony was down on the couch. Apparently, the pizza wasn't eaten early enough. lol  I got up at 7:30 this morning, came down and put the potatoes in the oven to bake and I went back up and lay back down till 8. When I got up, I dressed, did my hair and face and then went down and loaded the car. When it came to the big oven, I had to wake Tony up to help me load it. Then I took off. I went to Mickey Dee's for a coke. I needed a little lift to get me through. I drove to Lynn's and got her potatoes and then headed to the shelter. I went in and asked Chris if I could start using the kitchen. He said I could and then he helped me get things from my car to the kitchen. I got my cans emptied into the pot and got the spices put in and turned on the heat!

I ended up NOT adding all the chicken broth because I wanted it to be thicker than soup. After all, we were putting it on a baked potato with cheese so I didn't want it runny.

I am sure glad I baked another 10 potatoes. Between Shelly and Mom Norton we had 40 so with mine we had 50!! We used every single one!!  We fed at least 47 people and some of them came back for 2nds and some just wanted the soup. We got a lot of Thank you's and God Bless you! AND, several told us how much they loved the soup. Word's like "DELICIOUS, AWESOME, and

 SO GOOD" were being spoken. Made me feel good!

The kitchen we work in. 

The three of us  THE THREE AMIGO'S!  lol

Sure appreciate these ladies and all the sister's who made us the cupcakes. The people at the shelter were so appreciative of the meal. Glad we could provide it for them and thankful for the help I got. After, we finished, we cleaned up and the ladies helped me load the rest of the things into my car. I went home and Tony helped me put things away and we took off for the gym.

It was our day to walk but we didn't have much time. Lynn had an appointment with Dr. Hirning, at 2 o'clock. We got to the gym at 1 and started. After 1 mile, I went down to the elliptical to at least see if I could get at least 3 miles in. YAY, I did it. We left and met Lynn at Saltzer. Tony said I could go home, so I did. I read my book for an hour and then started some lunch/dinner for us. When Tony got home, we ate and watched 24 till I had to go to my RS Presidency meeting at 6:30. When it was over, I came home and we watched NCIS and then went to bed to read scriptures and get some shuteye.
