Soup For Supper

A week or two back we attended the empty bowls fundraiser that our good friend JG organizes (she does an amazing job), and it was a lot of fun. Not only did we get to eat all the killer soups, but we got to see friends that we hadn’t seen in months, or at least since hockey season ended. This is especially nice for A&N. In the past, they make dozens of bowls then sell them at the supper. You can fill the bowls as much as you’d like with soup, and then take the bowls home. We have a bunch of bowls and didn’t want more, but they said we could bring our own, which we did.

We arrived a bit late because we had hockey all day, and the festivities were in full swing. We got to socialize and eat, and in the past we hung out well into the evening at a friend’s house, but this time around, the plan was to eat and then go home. The nice thing about the event is that the money all goes to specific charitable causes, and one of them is i-KODI.

There is music, fresh bread, and an assortment of incredible desserts. It’s technically all free, but they ask for donations for your charity of choice. We contributed to i-KODI and the food shelf. We chatted with friends while the kids went outside and got crazy. By the time 7:00 rolled around, it was time to go home and rest up for the week ahead. Like all things in life, we were more inclined to stay at home and just chill out, but sometimes you have to overcome that inertia to get up off your butt and get out. We had a wonderful time, and were glad we did it, but the hardest part is just making that first step. The rest is easy.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to GryNoKa for the pic.
