No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Photos from the Conference, etc.

This pastor ordered from his Mystery Dinner menu a spoon, knife, and a slice of ham. No fork...probably had to bribe one of us for the fork, or used his hands!
Pastor Kuske got the special treatment (joke) of getting the ham bone on his plate. A side order of ham came later but he had failed to order a fork. He might have been one of those who tore a section of his plate off to scoop his food.... 
 One poor guy actually ordered wisely, getting all his cutlery, however, no food to use them for! As part of the Mystery Dinner theme, the courses are entirely cleared away before the next one is served, so he either had to bribe us for the silverware or improvised. If a pastor did not buy a fork, sometimes another pastor would kick in the buck for them, to avoid watching them eat with their hands!
The class is in session, listening to a presentation from a mission counselor, speaking about outreach and evangelism
On Saturday before the Conference, you couldn't swing a cat without hitting someone named Mike!! These two Mike's were busily painting the fellowship hall exterior, and inside this same building, two more Mike's were preparing food for the event.
