The Ice Cream Social was a success.

I wasn’t in charge so could just sit back and enjoy it.

Perfect weather.(No mosquitoes!)

Great food. Pie, Sundaes, Floats. Hot Dogs. Sloppy Joes etc.

Willing workers.  Hubby cooked pack after pack of hot dogs.

The bouncy house was a hit. I made boo boo bags of ice but we didn’t need them.

Miles of smiles! Seeing old  friends and new friends too!

The exhaustion that comes with successful completion.

5. I’m planning a ministry booth at a summer fair where our parish is giving away resources to help people grow deeper in their relationship with God and help them grow further along in their faith journey. I have been asking people across the country to donate books, religious items, rosaries, prayer cards, etc. so that we can give them away to the visitors at our booth. Within half an hour, I received my first reply back and they are happy to be donating to our booth! God sure delivers!
