Missed It By That Much

Treats at St. James......
This is my last turn this year so I can relax.
We were reminded several times that it was necessary to get out of the Schola room by 11:40 a.m.
I tried to plan wisely..no tiered dishes, just get  food out on trays that can quickly be packed into our boxes and scooted out to the truck.
We were doing pretty well. About 11:30, I announced that the store was closing, so people were grabbing ziploc bags for some take-out. This was fine with me but some were shy and waited until the last minute. This is when I was forced to close down the table.
Joe left to get the car while I tried  to get things packed away. About 5 minutes from being finished, a thousand (at least it seemed like that many) children  poured into the Schola room to prepare for mass. 
They are adorable and what they were about to do is much more important than my need to get out of the room. After several attempts we managed to get all our boxes out,  into the truck and on our way home.

If possible, I would prefer not to do choir treats on the day the wonderful children sing.

  1. The treats were, of course, fabulous! I am looking forward to having my ziplock bag contents for breakfast tomorrow. Everything was super yummy, especially the biscotti, my special weakness.
