| Piles of potato salad cups |
Today I did some volunteer work at the Senior Center, after having been talked into it by one of my new hiking buddies, Barb. She got several of us to sign up to help package 1,000 lunches to give away tomorrow at the annual Senior Day in the Park, held in Hovander Park in northern Bellingham. We managed to make sack lunches with potato salad (I was the Chief Lid Securer), fruit cups, a fresh baked cookie, and all the fixings for a barbeque sandwich, which I guess will be provided there. There were lots of us working, so it was actually quite fun. After I helped with this part, I then added condiments to the bags before they were boxed up and put into the huge walk-in fridge to keep them safe and fresh for tomorrow. It was enough fun that I think I'm going to have to volunteer more often at the Senior Center.
I won't be going myself, since I couldn't get a ride and the bus was full. Instead, I'll go to the movies with my friend John to see Oppenheimer. I have already seen Barbie, which I enjoyed very much. This is the most indoor cinema I've been to since the pandemic. I'll wear my mask, just in case. Now that I've had a chance to recover from two hours of standing (and working hard to keep up) in an assembly line like that, I'm feeling pretty darn good.

That sounds like a fun way to help out! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGood on ya, as they say now. At least I think they do, but maybe that has already been replaced. lol
ReplyDeleteWell done. As you know volunteering is a huge and valuable part of my life.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your movie time with John too. It is years since I have been to the cinema.
Too bad you can't go, but a movie with John sounds really nice! Let us know how you like that movie, please. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad you won't be there but I love the photo DJan! Wow, that's a lot of lunches! 🙂
ReplyDeleteGood for you to volunteer for such a project. I'm not doing that type of volunteering or any volunteering.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding volunteer work! I'm proud of you, DJan.
ReplyDeleteI commend you for your service. My mother volunteered in her senior center kitchen for many years. They practically had to carry her out when her poor mobility, eyesight and hearing left her too debilitated.
ReplyDeleteNice of you to do volunteer work! And to see that John is out and about with you!
ReplyDeleteI just loved seeing that photo of you, DJan! It's so good of you to help out. I'll look forward to hearing what you think of Oppenheimer.
ReplyDeleteA good cause.
