The meals were piping hot, so much so that we have to be careful not to burn our fingers (or those that we give it to!) They get the hot sealed container of food, along with bread and carton of milk and a small bowl of fruit. It takes a balancing act to get it to them but I am getting better at it!

And thanks again for my award, I am tickled!<br />The blue color in the church is all from the light coming through the stained glass and the monks made that stained glass themselves. The church itself is made of CONCRETE, if you can belive it, and that too, the monks made themselves. It truly is a remarkable place and one that I am grateful to live near. I wish I could record the monks chanting and the clear tones of the bells as they ring...Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-14960256074088138162012-04-01T08:12:12.209-04:002012-04-01T08:12:12.209-04:00Thank you for finding me because now I've foun...Thank you for finding me because now I've found you!

I've always admired people that can create those types of plants. They are so cool. I love visiting greenhouses. I spend a lot of time in them during the warmer months of the year, always in search of something nice to add to my garden. All the greenhouses should get going this month and I'm very excited about that!Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-16274025785309720962012-04-01T07:26:56.366-04:002012-04-01T07:26:56.366-04:00Dear Meike,

For my background on Saturday, let me tell you this: it was my scheduled day to deliver Meals On Wheels for my church. My partner and I meet at the Methodist church on Main Street in Conyers and pick up the meals and deliver them to a 6 story building in the next county over...When I got there early Saturday morning, the roads had been blocked off due to a "Fun Run" down Main Street? AHHH!! Luckily, since I have lived here for so long I knew the closest place I could park and then walk to the church. I had to cross in front of the runners and the people in charge gave me dirty looks. Not as bad a dirty look as we got when we asked them to please move the barriers so we could drive across Main Street with all the meals in the back of the truck! They let us through but only begrudgeingly so...maybe they thought we were lying when we said we had to deliver Meals On Wheels!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-42647291792098107962012-04-01T07:18:41.019-04:002012-04-01T07:18:41.019-04:00Dear Jane, I love greenhouses too!
