After spending three hours of a very rainy Thursday shopping and several hours yesterday helping to make quiches and coffee cakes, today I helped out at Chorale's annual Spring Brunch.
I spent hours on my feet. I helped get the food into the ovens and out of the ovens. I helped serve it up on plates and hand it out to the servers. I manned the reservation table so Linda could eat. I chatted with fellow singers who were working, or there to eat. I helped clean off tables when it was over. And I was one of the last to leave.
My dogs, they are barking.
But all in all, it was a great day. I am happy to help out and I love the ladies who run the brunch each year. It's for Chorale, so I directly benefit from helping out. And it gets me out of my apartment on a rainy Saturday.
But yes, tonight I am pooped.
Here are some pictures I took.

| I donated some of my Etsy cards and a pretty teacup for a raffle basket. |

| Someone else donated fresh-cut Delta asparagus from their farm. |

| Coffee cakes |

| Betty Ann has a flair for decorating her table. |
 |
| So does Irene. |
 |
| I wanted to win this, but alas, I did not. |
 |
| Nor did I win this. |
 |
| I had offered to provide a centerpiece for a table. Cheap and cheerful! |
 |
| It is now gracing my kitchen counter. |

| We had something like 150 people. |

Looks like a good time was had by all... I know how exhausting doing fundraisers can be (lots of church ones). Soooooo, I'm guessing you didn't cut out early for G's boot camp, eh? ;-D
