Then....2ndly, I too like the morning hours when Bud is still asleep and I can get a lot of things done on the computer in the quiet before our day begins together. 3rdly, I found that little ditty you wrote about the meaning of being in the doghouse quite interesting.<br /><br />Ps...glad you found how to view all of the NCIS programs through your library!!!!Hootin Annihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811326085498312568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-72061043058933839312012-07-18T23:18:37.643-05:002012-07-18T23:18:37.643-05:00That would be frustrating with meals.

I know the lady who coordinates meals for new moms, etc at our church uses it. I know I'm making an effort when asked to provide a meal, I figure its the least I can do and would want the same if the service was needed. Hope you get people to cooperate!<br /><br />http://takethemameal.com/<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-29426473571475443302012-07-18T21:25:58.109-05:002012-07-18T21:25:58.109-05:00I did not know that the peace treaty wasn't un...I did not know that the peace treaty wasn't until 1951!!! I always assumed it was 1945 too. <br />Oh, I would not want to be in your shoes. I wouldn't have been very good at that either. I have always been in the meals ministry, as I always have enjoyed taking food to people. Our church merged with another church, it was horrible. The people from the other church started dying and dying and we were a very young church. I bet I took food to funerals 3 or 4 times a week. <br />Maybe the ladies are just burned out, that is a long stretch for meals. You said it was hot too, that might have something to do with it. <br />That is a lot of food for a older couple could you do it for say 3 days at a time? I mean they will have lots of leftovers. I am sure it will work out.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-41255665879753220502012-07-18T20:34:33.723-05:002012-07-18T20:34:33.723-05:00I agree with some of the others - it's probabl...I agree with some of the others - it's probably the heat that's causing the women not to volunteer.

I am a history fanatic and I didn't know about the WWII thing either. <br /><br />There is a WWII Museum in London I would like to see, but Kennsington Palace would be first I think. It's the Diana thing you know. <br /><br />6 weeks is a lot of meals. I hope you find some more kind souls to help you. That's such an important need these people have.Just Stuff From a Boomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440903695801765867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-86663975356003764562012-07-18T13:53:21.894-05:002012-07-18T13:53:21.894-05:00It's too bad folks aren't responding to th...It's too bad folks aren't responding to this need - could it be that they have summer plans that interfere? <br /><br />I'm a morning person too. I feel like I get so much more done in the mornings than the rest of the day.<br /><br />I wish I could send you some of our rain. We've been blessed with plenty of rain this summer, but I could do without the lightning and thunder! The heat has been pretty unbearable too.<br /><br />Have a blessed rest of your week!Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151138474298404664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-15377108858273175242012-07-18T13:12:08.541-05:002012-07-18T13:12:08.541-05:00I've been in Buckingham Palace but Windsor is ...I've been in Buckingham Palace but Windsor is my favorite.

Yes those commercials turn me off to eating there. (they are Carl's Jr. here) I'm in the 1951 club also :) Praying your get all your meals worked out.

We had a list that people had signed up for doing different things and one of them was meals. When I had to coordinate for someone, hardly any of the women would agree to bring a meal- and a few of them got mad that I called them. I'm not even going to tell you what I said to them. You're right about those Hardee's commercials- forgot about those.Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-5180099389713050422012-07-18T09:06:43.433-05:002012-07-18T09:06:43.433-05:00Maybe summer time is the problem with everyone com...Maybe summer time is the problem with everyone committing to meals??? I'm so bad - whenever they ask me at church I always say no... I have a hard enough time figuring out what to make myself. if I do ever agree - I order pizza! True...

Just slowly getting with it. I sometimes get to do that on Saturdays now.<br /><br />I think that would probably not be a good ministry for me either for the very same reason.<br /><br />I'm loving reading everyone's answers for #6, so I can find out when everyone was born. haha<br /><br />Have a great day.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662751045378148853noreply@blogger.com
