The continuing apron saga

So, we found out the apron comes from Park B. Smith (see previous post).

60% polyester – 40% polyurethane.  Spills wipe off with cloth or sponge.  You can wash it in the washing machine.  But don’t put an open flame to it.

Can you imagine it – a flaming apron.  To go with flaming hair and a certain desire to find an open body of water

If you find something like this, available in Canada and for under $10.00 let us know!!

The search is on

Today, my culinary inclined wife was on the hunt!

With current food handling standards, you need to have a bleach wash in a commercial/church kitchen.  That bleach wash has been known to spill over and land on beautiful clothing – now ruined with a splotch in the middle.  Cloth aprons do little to stop the moisture of the bleach from leaking through.

The real need is for an apron which will repel the bleach.  A rubberized cloth type.  After hours of searching some possibilities have been found.

Have you run across this type of apron?  Where would they be found?  I’d be glad, and would receive all kinds of kudoos, if you can pass on the information to me!!

Shovelling therapy

This afternoon warmed to a comfortable temperature.  The church van that wouldn’t start in the morning was willing by noon.  The glistening snow looked inviting.

One drift just dared me to rearrange it!

As a part of working through my GERD (see previous posts), I decided that some additional exercise could be a good thing. 

I grabbed the snow shovel and began to push.  Shaving off inches/centimeters at a time, the drift began to become mere trails of snow.  The work was boring and so my mind wandered to forward thoughts — something I haven’t done well in the last while. 

As the final vestiges of the drift disappeared, I realized that I felt somewhat better.  Not perfect, but better.  And with the completion of the task, I had the sense that the next drift in my life could also be overcome.

Some days you just need a snow drift!

The Eleven

Yesterday we were privileged.  Our morning gathering saw eleven people join us.  All had been working this summer at the Luseland Bible Camp, which our gathering supports.

They came to talk to us about the Camp, about themselves and what God was doing.  Some were quite emotional as God’s working was evident.  This is the type of thing that inspires us to pray, support and believe that God is working.

And some days, you just need that!
