The kids were waiting all day to see the whale made from a zucchini. Here they are watching and giving their input.
This little guy really liked the whale, that zucchini is from our garden. He will be coming home and will be turned into dinner or zucchini bread.
See that tree? One of the ladies in the church drew that, wait until you see her finished work at the end of the post.
Another lady made these trees for our dessert table. We have been blessed with such a wonderfully willing group of ladies who each add their work to put together a great respite environment for those at this conference.
Table settings and centerpieces.
Finishing touches
The final menu board…on the menu:
Grilled Salmon
Baked Potatoes
Green Salad
Texas Toast
Banana Pudding, really good banana pudding
There was nothing fancy about the menu but that salmon was great, better than great, and the salad contained a lot of home grown veggies mixed with store bought veggies….
What did I do, a little of this and a little of that. List making and checking and then working on what was on the list and then checking the list and the tables and drinks, you know… a little of this and a little of that.
Nothing fancy? Hee, hee. Salmon here is considered a once in a long while thing. :-) Looks like fun. Is this all week? If you ever get to Chicago, it is a wonderful place. The museums are excellent. We hope to go again in the fall when it is cooler!
ReplyDeleteYes, salmon is a great food, here though it is weekly fare for many Alaskans... Thankfully it is only three days and on the third day the church is taking the attendees to a local buffet for dinner so after they have breakfast tomorrow morning I am going to get the clean up started and then grocery shopping for our family camping/fishing trip this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks great. Sounds like a fun time. :)

I think "a lot of this and a lot of that" would be more accurate. ;O) Thanks for all the work you have and are putting into making this special!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a zucchini whale! That is so cute! And you have Texas Toast way up there!?! haha
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful!
