I take pictures for the church and take about 400 that day. I meet so many different people and see friends I don't see much otherwise. Some of the ladies from church hand quilt the quilts they auction off. They get together once a week in the winter to quilt. Our church has put out 3 cookbooks since 1980 and are currently selling all 3 yet. This year the ladies made 278 pies and they already gone before the picnic. They sell them frozen.
