Istre in the Making is in big business!
Chelsa did a great job planning the menu, organizing the meal, teaching the kids their jobs and delegating work for everyone, including Granny Kay and Pa King. We served sausage bread ring, apple bread, fruit yogurt with homemade granola and orange juice. We spent several days baking and preparing what we could in advance and despite a couple of broken jars, dropped eggs, and spilled oil a good time was had by all.
That morning we got up at 5:00, fed our animals, and headed to the Hillcrest kitchen for final preparations where we sliced bread and loaded the contents of several refrigerators into the Yukon. We arrived at the church at 6:00 and started setting the food and drinks on 32 tables that each sat 9 people. We were supposed to be done by 7:30 and at 7:00 guests started to arrive. All we needed to finish was passing out drinks; orange juice and water for every place. As I was carrying trays with 40 cups of water, dodging people and trying to anticipate what handshake was coming next, the kids were busily distributing the drinks to their places.
It's 7:21 and the last cup is down, we made it! Now to the kitchen to wash up.
impressive and love to watch your family work together and read about it!!
