Topic: Hallettsville Assignment
For those of you who are wondering how things have been for me since ordination. It has been a while since I have posted an entry. I have greatly enjoyed my priesthood. The people of Hallettsville have been good...too good. The Kolaches and Pig-in-a-Blankets are absolutely delightful. My plan, that I tell everyone, is not to lose wait but to maintain the weight I have. If I can do this then I think I have performed a great feat in Hallettsville, not gaining the "New Priest" / "Hallettsville" 40, 50, or more.
Let me tell you about what I have been up to today...
It is now 10:30pm and I have just finished cleaning up from a dinner that I auctioned off at our last parish picnic. I started cooking today at 3:00 this afternoon, not to mention the cheesecake and gumbo that I cooked yesterday...well I just did mention it. Despite the long time on my feet, the evening turned out to be a great one. The group that showed up was minus one and insisted I sit down with them, so I got to enjoy the meal with my guests. I failed to mention to them that I had been sampling the meal throughout the afternoon. We had a hoot of a time and ate to our fill and drank as much. Six hours of cooking was enjoyed for two hours and required two hours of clean-up. Crazy, but worth it!
