St Patricks day 2012

What a nice day. A little windy, then progressed to get a lot windy. Marg had volunteered us to work at the St Patricks day dinner. Every year in the park they have a corned beef & cabbage dinner and fill the hall with eager diners. We went over to the kitchen early and Marg & the others peeled 100 pounds of potatoes and a couple of sacks of carrots. I helped chop up cabbage heads, we did a very large box of cabbage. Then I sliced corned beef and Marg trimmed it. All in all we had enough to feed a room full of hungry would-be Irish, about 120 I think. Then about 4Pm we went back to get ready for the big event. The food was great and there was cake & ice cream for dessert. Same as last year we had Creme de Menthe to top the ice cream, why - because it's green - LOL! There was so much food that anyone who wanted could take a bowl of it home. The cost, well it was free! During the day we went to the Mesa market and I sold some books and bought 3 more. The place was a zoo, very busy. On the way Marg stopped in at a jewelery store and sold some scrap gold, she got $94, which was more than I would have thought. Stopped at IHop on the way back for lunch, my fav. After supper we got together with a nice group of people for drinks, snacks and cake.
