The Party - Day 3 Sunday

Sunday morning in the States is chill out time. No less so at the Harpers Hide-a-Way Party. A great breakfast buffet had been assembled by a great team of cooks. By now the numbers at the party were assessed as 69 Units and about 250 people. Connie had organised to feed them all brunch. The menu was almost endless. Sausage, bacon,fruit, pancakes, muffins, biscuits, hash browns, juice, coffee and the amzing DIY Omelet, organised by Jim! How do you cook omelets for 250 people? Well Jim can. I will reveal the secret now. A big bowl of egg, smaller bowls of whatever you want in the omelet. Ziploc bags. Ladle the egg in, add your fillings, seal the bag, write your name on the bag. Hand it to Jim. He places the bags into a large water boiler. The omelet cooks in the bag. Voila, a perfect omelet. Jim your a genius.
After a very liesurely breakfast we all sat round in a circle for a Gospel Hour (or two), this was a lovely time of sharing and singing.
Lunch followed, well it was really a continuation of the breakfast buffet, and then the inevitable, it was time to say goodbyes as people packed up to leave.
What a wonderful weekend we have had. Connie and Jim are the most amazing hosts and all round wonderful people.
