Enough....and to Spare....We Hope

I didn't work in the temple today.  I need a day to do laundry, shopping and food preparation, especially when we have two meals in a week.  Tomorrow there will be a YSA temple day.  We have scheduled baptisms, although there may be some who opt to do other things.

Two other stakes are invited, and on the Facebook invitation, 20 people have responded that they will be with us.  Unfotunately, we do not know if that was a yes for the temple or for lunch tomorrow after the temple.  And as it stands now, we do not know if the 20 could in point of fact be 10 or 40.  With some coming from far away, there is no telling if they will come to the center or do some sight-seeing around Copenhagen.

We were originally going to meet in the church by the temple for lunch and visiting, but a funeral is being held there tomorrow, and we thought it best not to have a room full of enthusiastic YSAs during that time, so we will be at the center.  That is easier for me.

But it the meantime, I am trying to fix enough but not too much....whew.....I haven't quite mastered that.  So I am making what I think will serve 24 to 36 depending upon the size of the servings.  We'll just go from there and hope.  It always turns out, one way or another.

Doris was ill today and cancelled, but we talked on the telephone for a LONG time.  She is going through some rough times, but the good news is that she is officially engaged to her boyfriend and it looks like the wedding will be in November!  I am very happy for her.

She will come to the center in the morning and help me prepare the lunch.  That will be nice to have that time with her.  I think she will enjoy the young people who come....how can you not?

In the meantime, I will be most happy to have her help. SK will be at the temple with the young people and will not arrive at the center until time to serve lunch.

It will be nice to visit with her during the preparation time.....women chatting while they are preparing a meal, or cleaning up afterwards, is a time-honored tradition that has been with us since the world began.
