5...Happy New Year!<br />I'm glad you have this blog.<br />500 posts! <br />Coffee in my church tradition has always included donut balls.

For me, "coffee time" means about 5 pm at my parents house. When my mom was younger she always had something wonderful she'd baked to go along with the coffee --she always said she couldn't have her coffee "dry". Since I attended college (and grad school) in the same city where I grew up, I would bike over to my parents frequently for coffee time. That was a wonderful time.<br /><br />Congrats on 500, and I hope you all have a very sweet year too :-)Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-8329075277491500322014-09-26T22:41:15.576-04:002014-09-26T22:41:15.576-04:00(1) Congrats on your milestone!

My mom decided when I was about 10 or 11 years old that she wanted to be in charge of organizing the cookies each week… which actually meant she handed me a list of 'volunteers' and I had to call them every week and figure out how to get 12 dozen cookies to the church every Sunday. How this made HER the cookie organizer, I'll never know. Her job consisted of hanging up the volunteer sheet and setting out the cookies everyone else brought in. I may have a little bit of post-traumatic stress about this situation, and it may actually be the root of me not ever wanting to call people now...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741485605994137496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-56028441593853131302014-09-26T12:52:51.006-04:002014-09-26T12:52:51.006-04:00There is so much interesting stuff in this post!

In 8 or 9 years, maybe. No, i don't recall coffee time after church as a child. Possibly my parents drank coffee. I only remember going to the church book closet, er, I mean library after the service, and perusing the meager selection. Wishing you the sweetest year!Angiehttp://angiekaydilmore.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-30869700689702426292014-09-26T09:03:57.158-04:002014-09-26T09:03:57.158-04:00Congratulations on 500!

It is also a tradition to have Chinese food on Christmas Eve (see movie, A Christmas Story). :-) <br /><br />My brother and I went to coffee hour because our parents would drop us off at the First Baptist Church of Free Babysitting every Sunday. Later as a Presbyterian, I loved coffee hour for the fellowship (and the coffee). I am certain my youngest daughter came with me for the donuts (but also to hang out with her friends). :-)Cheri @ Blog This Mom!®http://www.blogthismom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-75319156655334299312014-09-26T09:02:39.971-04:002014-09-26T09:02:39.971-04:001.

One of the redeeming facts about winter was that the Church Basement Ladies also prepared hot chocolate for the young'uns.<br /><br />2. I don't know about snacks, but tonight for supper I'm making a giant pizza crust in my jelly roll pan, and everyone will have their own section to top at will. This means I can put as many veggies as I want on there without hearing "EEEEEW" and "WHY DO YOU RUIN PIZZA?"k<br /><br />3. I love dreaming about wheat acreages, as they remind me of home.<br /><br />4.

As another interfaith family, we have finally settled for having matzoh ball soup on Easter and we dip some apples in honey on Rosh Hashanah. Also, we light the menorah on Chanukah, being careful not to leave it too near the tree on those years that Christmas and Chanukah coincide. That is ALL I can handle.
