Really really big bowls


Yesterday had was a very busy day.  At one point, I realized I had forgotten to pick up the really really big bowls from the church kitchen.  I was almost home after a hectic morning of errands, so I hesitated, but then decided to turn around and retrieve them.  

I got pulled over.  It was an interesting conversation.  I live in Wisconsin.  My car is registered in Texas.  And my driver's license is from Ohio.  That's what happens when you're in the military. So it's all a bit confusing, but kosher.  Except for the fact that my driver's license was expired.  Oops.

The officer was very pleasant, and he only cited me for 10 over the speed limit.  (I will not tell you how fast I was actually going.  But in my defense, the road is brand new and I had no clue what the speed limit was and no human being born since the advent of the automobile would ever assume that such a wide, expansive road through the countryside has a limit of only 35 miles per hour!)  So borrowing those really really big bowls from the church kitchen cost me $88.

And it was totally worth it.  When you need really really big bowls, you need really really big bowls.  

Thirty potato casseroles were assembled in my kitchen and sent out the door for delivery in less than two hours.  Like I said, sometimes you need really really big bowls. 

And lots of helpful friends.

Thank you!
