Not quite as early on Saturday morning, Ed and Kitty K made sure Lee's family was up and led them upstairs for a real treat in Fellowship Hall. Breakfast, lovingly prepared by Daryl with help from David. It is an amazing feast and a wonderful gift for the guests and volunteers. Lee said that her boys really ate a lot! And everyone enjoyed it.
Ed extended his volunteer time by driving the van to the IHN Day Center.
Kitty D was the On-Site coordinator and put clean sheets on the host beds. It is such a treat to just walk to the closet and select what is needed instead of having to go through bins! Thanks again Kim and FPC Youth for sharing!
Kitty also was the afternoon Van driver. Lee and the children were ready to roll and all were in good spirits.
David, back again for the third time this week...this time as Evening Host, was waiting when we got to the parking area. We stripped the beds from the second family's room, with the help of Kawami and J.R. to get a head start on Take Down tomorrow. They had fun jumping on the beds--but David and I didn't join in!
Ira, the other Evening Host arrived and immediately hit it off with the children.
Katherine, Bertis, Addie and Eliza brought dinner--Addie's favorite meal. While they were setting up Eliza played games with the boys and the rest of us played "pass the baby" with sweet ZZ, she is a doll and so cuddly.
Ira and David set the table with help from Addie.
Dinner was a lovely pasta with sausage, broccoli, and parmesan--all in separate bowls to suit the taste of all the diners. Also a large bowl of honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon. Everyone filled their plate and dug in with delight. Dessert was ice cream--and there was still a little birthday cake left (before dinner was served that is). One ballon was still holding up nicely. Lee showed me the photos that Jayne had printed and brought to her. It was fun looking at everyone having such fun at the birthday party.
Overnight Hosts are Madeline and Winston. Another good IHN host week is drawing to a close.
God bless you every one!
