2:00 --I came down to the church to set up the tables and chairs, put on the table cloths and fill the jar with water that had the last of my snipped roses placed inside.

3:00 already! I needed to put together a cornmeal cake before the ladies came. So with that cooking in the oven I waited and waited and waited.

The clock said 4:00 now, why wasn't anybody here yet? You can see the cornbread was cooking nicely and the smell filled the room enough to make a hungry person salivate. Finally the 'jonnycake', as we called it in those days, was ready, it smelled so good and still no one was here.

4:30, quarter to. So I decided to take bite out of the corner. Yum! Another bite. By that time I decided that the clock had not been changed from weeks ago. I changed the time and two ladies came in just then with my mouth full hahhha , so with the customary explainations, Jo told me to stay out of the food. Oh well! and promptly gave a piece to both of them (jo and bonnie)

Look how she is putting that cheese on the plate! in a perfect circle.......

bONNIE came the same time as Jo and is waiting until everyone arrives. Notice the tables how they are ????*****By then all the ladies arrived, except Valerie who went to pick up Alice because her phone was down all day and we couldn't get hold of her, she came later, and we decided to change the tables around again because that was the way we always had the tables!!!!! And yes, it was more comfortable that way...... by the time Valerie came back there was time to chat and do what ladies do--chat some more!! We were having fun anyway trying to get settled.

Here is Norman snitching some corn bread. Actually that is not true because we offered him some as he graciously helped Betty carry in her soup and he waited for her until the meeting was over.
