So we were asked as a Stake R.S. Presidency to put on a meal for a visiting member of the Seventy - who was also a mission president here back in '92-95 - and Stake Presidents and their wives - 25 total.
Preparing and serving food may still be what LDS women do best - at least they excel at it.(They can do lots of other stuff too!)
Of course, I excel at getting the best people on my team!! My helpers included Dad, Noah, John and Yvonne, Amy, Elizabeth - and the next best thing to Julia Child - our own Sue Cornwall!!
I should have gotten pics of Elizabeth, but she's so busy working all the time, you don't think about stopping her to take a picture!!
Sue is a true friend - who happily and willingly shares her skill and expertise!!
I got a new apron at the apron store - just for the occasion. It's very nice and comfy. Just what an apron should be.
I had Dad take a picture when we got home. I forgot to take pictures of how lovely everything looked. You will just have to believe me!
And I'm glad to get that item checked off my list!! (Now I just have to write thank you notes!)

I wish I could have been there to help...and hang out with some of my favorite people.
My favorite part of the post is where you bought a new apron from the apron store just for the occasion.
I have a new apron for you Barbara. I bought it in Nauvoo at a cute little fabric store. I will bring it next week. It has Thanksgiving colors in it and I thought of you! Love, Leslie
I'm afraid I must absolutely concur with Sue Cornwall being one of the greatest human beings upon the earth.
i agree - sue is wonderful and so wonderfully talented.
