So Sunday at my church (Assembly of God) they had a "harvest party". Sort of an alternative to Halloween. Lots of different activities many of them geared toward the kids. One of the men decided that they should do an apple cider squeeze. So he contacted an apple broker to buy a tote of apples. He was quoted a price. He told the broker that it was for a harvest party at the church. The broker said oh if it is for the church, he lowered the price considerably. Ron went and got the apples. Paid the man. Loaded the apples on his trailer. As he was fastening the load the broker asked "so how many wards to you have in the Baker Valley now?" Ron thinking quick on his feet said "you know I am not sure of the number." Apparently the church and "the church" have different meanings to different people. But all is well that ends well. They made a lot of apple cider. Had a great BBQ contest with delicious tri tip. And plenty of activities for the children.

us Mormons or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints, our churches are broken down into branches (really small) then wards, which sometimes in large areas 2-4 will use the same meeting house on a rotating schedule on Sundays. Then there usually 7-8 wards in a Stake.

I realize that and so does Ron. He figured the man was a Mormon and giving him a price break because he thought Ron was also Mormon. Although Ron didn't realize that until he asked about the wards. At that point he was loaded up so he said as little as possible. Left the apple broker feeling good about giving the church a price break. And Ron's checkbook felt good about the price break.
 
It seems we have some sort of potluck at the old school about once a month. We have been invited to an old people potluck at church that they have once a month. We have never been able to go. So on Friday while I was elk hunting Edna had to go to town for some things. She timed it to go to the potluck. When she got home she told me that I never need to go. It was an old hen party.
