Labor Day Weekend Corn Roast

At six o'clock the clouds looked grey and then with little persuasion it began to rain.  The Bethany hills grew foggy as did Stan's hopes of a great corn roast.  Once again another fellowship event seemed dogged by rain.

Yet determined corn roasters took shelter in Fox's garage.  Stan rolled the VW out of the garage, and soon there was room for everyone.  The weekend party was not going to be squashed by rainy weather.   Stan & Gord manned the BBQ, and Nat & Patty took on the corn, and soon everyone was downing burgers & dogs, and cobs of buttery corn.  And needless to say there were some other awesome and wholesome foods brought by everyone.

As the meal progressed there was a whisper of a surprise in the air.  Not only had it stopped raining, it was someone's birthday.  When the desserts rolled out, so did a chocolate cake for the birthday boy.  With gusto everyone began to sing Happy Birthday to Stirling.  Although a little embarrassed, he loved the attention and his mom's cake.

Many stayed late into the evening enjoying good conversation and lots of laughs.  The night concluded around a roaring campfire with Mike and his friend, and Gio playing us various tunes.  Nothing like good music around a fire.  Everyone went home feeling well fed, and blessed with friends and a good time.
