Indebted to Grace: Trip to GA: Day 3

On Friday morning, Ruth and I joined James and Mark back at James's cabin to work on chopping the veggies for the Kabobs. Among the vegetables that needed to be done were about 12 large onions. Mark told us about a really neat trick to keep from crying while working with the onions. Can you guess from the pictures what it was? :)

Yep. Matches! Place the wooden side of an unlit match in your mouth and the sulfur from the match will help reduce the tears. This worked quite well. But I'll admit that it did look a little funny... :)

After a late breakfast we drove about 3 hours to Tate City where the wedding would be held the next day. Ruth had told me that Tate City was small, but it still wasn't quite what I had expected. It was much smaller and more beautiful than I had pictured. I absolutely loved it.

Welcome to Tate City, GA

I thought the church and location were just beautiful.

After rehearsing and taking a look around, the four of us started assembling the Shish Kabobs. This project took a little longer than we had planned, but I really enjoyed the time of fellowship we had while working together. We sang a lot of hymns together, and that was such a blessing and encouragement to me.
