Omelet in a Bag

We were up early to get ready for breakfast at Jim and Ellie's, who live behind us facing the next street.  We took our eggs, sliced perfectly ripened avocados, chopped green onions, diced ham and a carafe of decaf coffee. Can you imagine almost twenty couples in this kitchen?  Me either, we took turns.  100_2713This was our first time to make an "omelet in a bag" in a pot of boiling water for 15-plus minutes, depending on how many eggs were in your omelet.  It was really good.  Ellie also had fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, orange juice, whole grain bread and English muffins available. 

Don and I met several people we had not met before and others we've not had the opportunity to spend any time with.  Guest Bob with hostess Ellie and that's Toma in the pastel yellow.Bob, Ellie and Toma Former pastor GH Sublett and wife, Pat.GH and Pat Sublett I don't know what setting my camera was on, but this would have been a really good picture of our hostess Ellie and host Jim Bowen.  Ellie and Jim Bowen It was a beautiful Saturday and some guest, including me, enjoyed breakfast on the front porch.Gert and  Wayne, Carolyn and Bob We met Carolyn and Bob for the first time this morning.  They attend church, but it's hard to remember everyone's name, if we have met them.Carolyn and Bob Gert and Wayne.  If you have a problem with your land line phone...

Tonight was movie night at the activity center and Jim Taylor had arranged for us to see Fireproof, starring Kirk Cameron.  If you haven't seen this movie, I recommend it highly.  Three more rows were added after I took this picture. Saturday Night movie - Fireproof We are so blessed.
