It was August 31st...and for some time we had been looking forward to our first ever 'Mennonite Girls Can Cook' get-together. It was the first time we would all be meeting in person. Marg and Kathy were our social coordinators for the event...and everything was planned for the entire summit. We were all to meet at the airport...where we would greet Charlotte and Betty...who were flying in from the prairies. As the time approached for the plane to arrive...we all realized our social coordinators were missing. We figured they must be up to something! It seems they had decided to come to the meet-and-greet party incognito.
Thinking it would serve a purpose one day, I retrieved the loaf from the trash...and it has been drying out in my pantry since that time.
On Saturday I received an e-mail from Marg...who was away on vacation for a few days. She suddenly realized that the turkey in her freezer would not be ready for roasting on Monday...and was wondering if I could go to her place and remove it for her. Breaking into her garage proved to be quite simple, armed with the necessary information.
Oh...and just in case she hadn't thought of bread for the stuffing...I left her a well-dried loaf next to the turkey. I'm thinking we have now seen the last of that loaf of bread!
Too funny. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteSo funny, I love the photo's of them both at the airport!
ReplyDeleteYou're too clever and cute! I know that Marg got a good laugh from that one. Thanks for clearing this up for us as I thought these two beautiful ladies were men!
ReplyDeleteThat was so funny!
ReplyDeleteWell, I love how you recycled the loaf of bread, and used it for another good laugh! Dairymary
ReplyDeleteOK...Judy it's time for payback...Oh, isn't it fun to make laughter and have friends who can laugh at you and with you.
ReplyDeleteHer time is coming...the bread is preserved.
That really is too funny.. .I read it aloud.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think Judy ..those two might be up to something now and then. .but you have your great ideas too.
oh ..and my word verification is cater. funny.
OK...that is too funny. Glad you were able to break in and save the day!
ReplyDeleteI've never met Marg, but I just knew that the bread wasn't going to end up in her stuffing - watch out, Judy!
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute!!
ReplyDeleteIf I were you, I'd keep my eyes open to see that loaf again. It might become like the birthday card that my mom and her friend sent back and forth to each other for years! You might want to shellac it :)
Aha! I am going to be laughing about this story all day.
ReplyDeleteYou are the most thoughtful, caring friend ... to think of the stuffing. I'm smiling. You must have known how much a loaf of bread gets sold for at the MCC Auction.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear how the fun of you "summit" is continuing. And I am looking forward to receiving my cookbooks when they arrive!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Judy! Trust you to think ahead and then make the most of the oppotunity. Way to go! (Will this be a "Diary of the travelling loaf?")
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! Thanks for sharing. I've laughed over the photos of the two Mennonite ladies, who remind me of my great-grandmother.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever and this is such a cute story. I have a feeling we haven't heard the end of this one.
ReplyDeleteSisterhood of the traveling bread loaf?
ReplyDeleteCould be the title of the next best seller!
Funny story! Those two girls sound like real characters! They must keep you laughing.
ReplyDeleteI knew one of those ladies was Marg from day one! It made me smile then and again now! She must have had a good laugh about the loaf of bread showing up again :)
ReplyDeleteI put a note at the end of my new blog post about the coobook, Judy! I'm so happy and thrilled for all of you ladies and I know it will be a wonderful success!
Hahahahah such a funny story! Now you've really started something, I have a feeling you'll be seeing that dried up nasty loaf of bread again, watch your back girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!
Great story! Can't wait to hear where the bread journeys to next. Congratulations on the book contract...I can't wait to purchase a copy.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do know how to add "fun" to life. I love the brown bag for the stuffing. I am sure you will see this loaf again and I hope we can share in the laugh again.
