Pancakes, pancakes and more pancakes.

The annual Fire Dept. Pancake breakfast is tomorrow.  It's their way of offsetting the costs to the community for the things they need for their work.  In the past they've bought those cameras that they can see through in fires, jaws of life, and more.  These things are expensive and there isn't always room in the budgets for them, so they do the breakfast to help out.  Hubby will be working it almost all day, from 4:30 a.m. until after 3 in the afternoon.  He does it every year, even though he is retired from the dept. for years now. 

The interesting thing is, they have it at the local high school where we both use to work.  Me for 30 years and him 12 before going to another school district.  Still he is the one the school allows to open the doors in the morning and keep watch on things.  Makes me so very proud that they have this trust in him still. 

I think, tomorrow, I will see if I can remember how to change my page background.  I leave it up so long I forget how and have to go back to the instructions.  Since Oreo and I will be on our own most of the day I should be able to get that done and back to that sewing that needs done.  May even have time for chapter or two of reading.  May make a roast, taters and carrots for supper, or something equally as good.  Keep your fingers crossed I don't get off the track. 

Well have a good evening. 

An Irish Situation

There comes a time when you must take the Bull by the tail and face the situation squarely.

  4. One of the advantages of a small town - those local pancake breakfasts as a fund raiser. Sometimes I wish we had that small town flavor in the bigger cities.
