Days 106, 107 & 108 - Friday, Saturday & Sunday, March 14, 15 & 16 - Pie Day & Birthday Party

Friday, March 14 (314) was Pie Day. We had more pie than we could eat. A lot of folks ate 2 pieces and some 3 pieces. There was still plenty left to take home for snacks. There were still pies in the kitchen waiting to be brought out when there was room on the tables.

Saturday afternoon there was cake and ice cream at a birthday party for two ladies who do a lot of work keeping events running smooth.
There was still cake left over to take home, even though turnout was good.
After finishing my cake I went into the puzzle room to see the latest finished puzzles.
These 3 sections of the bookcase are full of puzzles people can choose to work on.

It was such a nice day that a little relaxing, after all that cake, was in order. The high was 90 degrees but the humidly was low. There was some breeze. It was quite comfortable in the shade.


The main Cowboy Church Service was at the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show in Mercedes, TX today. The Cowboy Church was putting on the Team Penning & Ranch Sorting event in the afternoon. I was on the volunteers list. Saturday afternoon I got a call asking if I could help with opening/closing cattle gates starting at 6PM Sunday, I said yes. Instead of going to Mercedes for church Sunday Morning, driving back to the campground and then back to Mercedes to volunteer I went to the campground church service with Kathy. 
About 4PM I drove over to Mercedes and was in the process of finding out  where I was supposed to park when I received a call letting me know that the event went much faster than anticipated and that they didn't need me at 6. I thought by going over at 4 I would have time to walk around and look at things. It was such a hassle finding a place to park that I just came home.
The weather was beautiful again today. Sunny, low humidity and a high of 83. At 11:30PM the temperature is 61.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
