On Feb. 3, more than 100 people attended egg-in-a-bag that was hosted by Paul and Freda Williams. This breakfast was at the community center, and people came early so that they could catch up on the news of what transpired in the past few days.
The egg-in-a-bag consists of eggs that are made into omelets with such ingredients as onions, green peppers, cheese, bacon, ham and more. You can choose whatever ingredients you want. The omelets also are served with home fries, biscuit and gravy, plus orange juice and coffee.
Jim Leitzke said grace before the meal, while everyone bent their head in prayer.
The breakfast ran very smoothly and efficiently with the help from Sue and Galen Parker, Doris Sutfin, Tom Cooper, Jim and Judi Leitzke, Paul and Freda Williams (the hosts), and Carol George. Her husband, Clayton, was out this day, but usually is a volunteer.
At the end of the delicious breakfast, cupcakes were given out to everyone at the tables. These were given out to celebrate the birthdays of Jim Leitzke and Rick Huey. Jim’s was on this specific day, while Rick’s was the very next day. The cupcakes were supplied by Joan Lawrence and hit the spot. Jim’s and Rick’s chair was decorated with balloons with “happy birthday” on them. It was a nice way to start off the morning.
A couple of days later, on Feb. 6, 20 women went to the lunch bunch that is held once a month by a different person.
This month, it was held by Rosie Semian who did a fabulous job in arranging it.
The place was nice and cozy, and the service was superb. Each place setting had a gorgeous napkin ring holder with a cloth napkin, and tea was served in dainty little cups and saucers.
On the menu was chicken salad with walnuts in wraps or croissants, egg salad sandwiches or croissants, and so much more.
There were all types of tea, hot or cold.
As it was, the Grand Horizons people took up most of the restaurant, but a few pictures were still taken. It was delightful, and I can’t speak highly enough. Thanks again, Rosie!
