Navajo Tacos

We definitely have a communication gap around here! Luckily things all worked out and we got to where we were supposed to be when we were supposed to be there...

We worshiped with the congregation of Salem Mennonite today. This is the church where our son-in-law Todd has been called to be the new pastor in August. It's quite special for us that our dear friend Duncan Smith is serving as Interim Pastor, so we got to hear him preach today. It was also good to see Lynn Miller, another pastor I've worked with in the past as well.

Yesterday, Dawn had mentioned to me that Todd had purchased tickets for a fund-raising Navajo Taco dinner today. We both understood that it was to be this evening. But as we were getting in the van to return home after worship, Todd informed us that the meal was planned for this noon -- Sunday Dinner!

So, off we went to Louise and Glen's home. They taught in a school in the Navajo Nation several years ago and learned how to make fry bread there. When we arrived at their house, Glen had a batch of bread ready to fry. Served with a bean/hamburger mixture, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese and salsa, they were delicious. Glen made mine nice and crispy, just the way I like them. As an added treat, we all had seconds with warm honey. Then they served a wonderful dessert of angel food cake, whipped cream and fresh Oregon strawberries! We were definitely stuffed. And the kids got a nice donation towards their trip to the Phoenix convention next month.

We didn't get back to Auntie Violet until late afternoon, it was time for a nap. But, soon Granddaughter Kyra was knocking on the door asking for help on the project she was doing. She was packing the wrapping paper/bags collection from her Mom's underbed cupboard and needed someone to hand stuff back out to. (The cupboard is a narrow one that runs from the foot of the bed to the head of the king-size bed. Once she had crawled all the way to the head, it was pretty hard for her to turn around...) Once we got that task done, it definitely was time for that nap!
