Easter Day went much as I predicted yesterday and I'm pleased to report that the peanut butter cookies were delicious. So was everything else. But Easter wasn't finished for me when we all went our separated ways this afternoon. I had promised, some time ago, to help serve the Rescue Mission supper today. And so I strolled over there. Their new location is only four blocks from my apartment, which is kind of reassuring in case I ever fall on hard times. I do find it amusing that they built their new, large and very nice, building right across the street from a liquor store. I also found it interesting that the meal we had cooked yesterday and delivered earlier today wasn't what we served. I'm not really surprised. Today was the day they passed out a couple thousand carry-out Easter dinners from noon to three. The leftover ham, mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy and green beans were what we served this evening. I'm assuming they will use our dinner sometime later this week. Anyway, there were four of us from First Pres serving the supper and my job was to fill the glasses with liquid refreshment. I didn't taste it but I was told it was either cool aid or grapefruit juice with sugar added. The whole serving experience was very pleasant with plenty of thank you and Happy Easter greetings. I did not come away feeling particularly uplifted or virtuous but it was fun and I will probably do it again sometime. Since various committees of the church are required to take a turn at least once a year, I'm pretty certain I will be serving again sometime. Happy Easter everyone.
