The Feeding of the 500

Last week, Pusch Ridge Christian Academy where we were working served up a Thanksgiving Feast.  The students, from grades six to twelve, all got to have a free meal.  They were very excited.

Bev and I helped with setting out the pumpkin pies.

 I pried the boxes off the pies, and Bev cut them up and arranged them in perfect formation. 528 slices.

 They didn't stay in perfect formation once the students came to pick up their dessert, cutlery, cranberries, a bun, and a bottle of water. We helped them juggle all this and their plate of food by saying, "Tuck the water bottle under your arm." Along with the turkey their plates contained gravy, mashed potatooes, corn and green beans.  Most of them thanked us warmly, as if we were responsible for the whole meal.  Well, we did our part in true servant fashion. 

 These "hamburgers" were not part of the menu, but were specially crafted for the students' stage production which began that evening.  We see some interesting things outside the Art room, which is just across from our parking spot.

Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor was set in the fifties and very well done . We were thankful to be able to watch a real stage production!
