BWA coffee morning

Yesterday morning I came down the stairs to start my day, and was greeted by the delicious smell of hot bread. Graeme had ordered a bread making machine, and had set it so that a new loaf would be ready in time for breakfast. It was an aromatic breakfast - filtered coffee and freshly baked, HOT bread - complements of Graeme.

Later in the morning, Graeme answered the door bell, and I heard the voices of our friends, the Terrys, in the lounge. It was great to see them again, and catch up on news after 4 months while they were overseas.

I am gearing up for the BWA coffee morning and craft sale that is to be held on Saturday morning. The profits will go towards the restoration of the Jamestown chapel. All sorts of items have been trickling in to the manse to be added to the sale tables. (Beautiful lace work, crochet, book bags, toys, jam, clothes, toiletries, books and magazines, pot plants, manure, etc). Even non-Baptist folk who have heard about our venture, have contributed things towards the sale. At one stage I was nervous that we would not have enough to sell, but now I am receiving unexpected boxes of all sorts of odds and ends. There is still a lot of organising to do to get everyone coordinated on the day, tables to be borrowed and collected, the hall to be set up, prices to be put on all the sale items, etc. etc.

It is going to be interesting to see how the day turns out - a group of ladies (all with different opinions and tastes and ideas) trying to work together to hold a money raising event...

Arthur is getting stuck into English literature homework and assignments. He got 'B's for his first 2 assignments :) Scary maths only starts next month.
