If you have never been to an egg n’ bag, let me explain it to you. It is a very different way to serve an omelet. People pick their own ingredients from an assortment including bacon, ham, cheese, onions, mushrooms, green peppers and Jalapeno peppers. Besides the omelet, there are hash-brown potatoes, sausage gravy and biscuits, plus coffee and orange juice.
The event was hosted by Jim and Judi Leitzke, plus many helpers, including Sue and George Richardson, Joan and Dave Lawrence, Sue and Galen Parker, and Clayton and Carol George.
There was much socializing and catching up on past news.
Galen Parker said grace before the tables were called forward to make their omelet. The entire community was quiet while grace was being said, and Galen did a very nice job.
As always, the breakfast ran smoothly, as each person had a specific job to do.
On Jan. 10, we had our Lunch Bunch. It was a little different than the past lunches, as the women met at an Olive Garden where they had a lovely time. The only difference was there was a misunderstanding and, for some reason, they met at two completely different Olive Gardens.
There was still a nice gathering of approximately 20 women who got together and went shopping or directly home after a terrific lunch.
I didn’t go that day, but I am sure different dishes and cheesecakes (which they known for) were served and taken home for a remembrance of a delightful, but hectic, day.
I recall, too well, the different cheesecakes that were brought out last year. The array of colors was breathtaking. I am sure the same goes for this year as well.
This lunch was hosted by Joyce Bell.
