What’s cookin’ ??

Preparing 15-bean soupSure smells good!!

It is 15-Bean Soup for the “Soup Fest” Sunday evening at the Activity Center at Escapees Rainbow’s End RV Park. That event is the Kick Off for one week of activities for the CARE Health Fair. I’ll try to keep you informed as events unfold.

Cook smelling food in pot“Soup Fest” is another fund-raiser for the CARE Center. It’s a very popular event. For $5.00, the attendee receives five styrofoam cups. They can enjoy a generous sample from over twenty selections. Those of us preparing… do so at our own expense: A labor of love. Last year I was “the new kid” (I didn’t know the drill). I took my contribution in the large kettle–only to learn that everyone had theirs in crock pots. A thoughtful lady went home for a crock pot and transferred my (likewise) 15-bean soup. (The event continues for over two hours.) At one semi-annual CARE “garage sale,” I bought the large crock pot and said “I may only use it once a year.” This is my first occasion to use it!!

What else is new?? We are in our second day of heavy rain. One rain gauge is full and overflowing; second gauge fell off post and is lying in the water. I am living (again) on the shore of “Lake Lorraine.”
