The Antique Show

The past three days were the St. Mary's church antique show (this year's catchy wordplay title: "Baroque 'n' Eggs") so yesterday and today I volunteered with the church youth group in food service. Last year I was a food server who waited tables at lunch, but that was really stressful and not very enjoyable. Instead, this year I worked in the snack bar temporarily put up in the courtyard. Yesterday I arrived at 9:30, and the first 1 to 2 hours were spent selling donuts and coffee for $1 each.

After this, the people began sitting down for lunch and food servers began their jobs. My job was to fill lemonade and ice tea and set them out for waiters to pick up. They would sometimes come with orders for an Arnold Palmer (½ lemonade, ½ ice tea) or some custom order like "I want two thirds ice tea and one third lemonade with extra ice and a bit of water in it."



Around 1:30 today the lunch crowd left and went back to the antique show, or to the organ concert in the church, and we got sandwiches, pizza, and leftover lunch desserts.

After leaving, I went with my dad to the new Lighthouse Cinema and watched Get Smart starring Steve Carrell.
