Happy Friday!
I started the workday off jamming…that is, I helped out with
kitchen prep by scooping jam into containers for popover eaters. It’s sticky
work, but someone has to do it.
Sarah, Jami, and I handled things in the info booth today. I
took a call from a local. I’ll just call her Anne to protect her identity. She
made a dinner reservation for next week. This will be her third time coming in
this summer. Her second time was about a month and a half ago. I remember
making the reservation. She talked for about 10 minutes about her thoughts on
the restaurant and the changes since Dawnland took over. Today she only talked
for 5 minutes, and she sounded much more positive about how we’re doing.
Apparently, she’s been coming to the Jordan Pond House every year since before
World War II. She’s had a lot of popovers over the years so I think she has a
valid assessment.
This evening I talked Derick in to giving me a ride to the
edge of town as he drove the employee shuttle back to the apartments. I had to
pick up the sign about the ACMNP services and some fudge for the evening
version of God and Fudge. He’s one of those people I work with at the JPH who I
desperately wanted to hang out with but never seemed to have the opportunity to
do that. Tonight, that changed. He’s just as cool as I predicted.
God and Fudge went great tonight. There were five of us
which I believe is a new record. We decided to meet down in the lobby area of
the restaurant by the wood stove since all the customers had left by then. We
discussed the first three “acts” of the Bible: God’s Intention, Exile, and
Calling Israel to a Mission. Next week we agreed to discuss the final three
acts: The Surprising Victory of Jesus, The Renewed People of God, and God Comes
Home. I’m really excited for how well it went. I’ve wanted to do this study for
months, but the necessary group never seemed to materialize. It finally did and
not a moment too soon. Next week will be the final week of God and Fudge.
Crazy!
