We love attending pancake breakfasts, potluck dinners and spaghetti suppers because (1) the food is usually tasty; (2) we get to hang out with different people; and (3) such events directly support the community. This past Saturday morning we went to a marvelous hearty breakfast in Oxford where members of the Shiloh Presbyterian Church served up pancakes, cooked-to-order eggs, potatoes, biscuits, creamed chipped beef, sausages, bacon, and ham in the church hall.
The hosts and our fellow guests were very welcoming and friendly. One woman who was dishing out potatoes pointed out her grandson, who was sitting in a stroller a short distance away waving to her. She told me he had been extremely premature but was now thriving: "What a blessing," she said, beaming at him.
