our town has a thing called "Sharefest" where all the churches get together and do stuff for the community like put roofs on houses, yard work, and anything someone needs done. We are making 100 dozen cookies

What a wonderful way to spread happiness! I would totally pitch in and bake a few dozen (being sure to test them for quality, of course. )

It's enormously heartening to know there are communities that still have a sense of community, KWIM? If I was closer I would surely lend a hand, or cookies, or something (-:

Yay for cookies. It's amazing how you can make someone happy with a burnt pat of dough and chocolate.

My area is getting a thunderstorm tonight. This is after the rush of 86 degree air. So long summer-temps-in-spring.

Spiral, we got the same storm, I think. It happened this morning. It was a litle freaky. I was worried about the skylights, but they held up fine.

Where I grew up, my church would do the community helping day. My friends and I would always rake leaves for the same elderly couple. They were great. I think they really just wanted us around to talk and feed cookies and lemonade to.

That is so awesome. I almost can't believe people can still be that nice with some of the things in the news anymore...

On a side note, today was an awesome day and a great way to end my weekend. I'm a happy girl tonight! Bailey's, anyone! It's party time!!!

I never even thought of the skylights in our outdoor room! I'm glad both of our skylights were fine!
My daughter collected some of the hail and put it in the freezer

It's not too early if you put the Baileys in your coffee. I think there's something in the saying that's okay. I'll join you for a cuppa, Spiral.

Man, if I put Bailey's in my coffee, I'd be sound asleep on my desk inside of ten minutes. Bleah, Monday. Maybe by the time I get out of work tonight I'll have figured out the stupid plot to my stupid story. Not betting on it.

I'm good, victory is only the taste you get directly before you relies that the brigade you just ambushed was the scouting force. the legion behind them is the main force.
