(Un)packed day

It's been a packed, and an unpacking, day.

I was up early mixing shortbread dough, before delivering the Man to work.  Then I just had time to zoom some paperwork over to Five Rivers before I had to nag the kids into the car and take them out for a baking session with the 4H-ers.  Lots of floury fun, making pumpkin bread, biscuits (which here are like scones) and apple pies and, of course, rolling out shortbread.

The children settled down to afternoon activities at separate locations, and I spent the next four hours helping to set up the fair trade market.  Wow!  So many little boxes to open and little treasures to set out!  There were plenty of volunteers, but we still had to work flat out.  I have to say though, the table displays all looked great by the time we were done. 


The church hall doors are all securely locked now until Friday, when we'll be over there bright and early to open up again.  Meanwhile, tomorrow will be a day of Thanksgiving.  For readers celebrating this holiday, we wish you a wonderful day.  For those of you who won't be - well, no harm in giving a little thanks anyway:  life is full of good things.
