the great egg souffle caper page 3 by ric gustafson


Elnora looked at her watch and knew there was only twenty minutes to go.
" Happy Easter Elnora" Sylvia Chase said with a smile as she carried in her hands an egg souffle dish. " The egg souffle is here".
Soon, a couple more church members brought more egg souffle and then helped her warm up the hot cross buns. Others helped Elnora pour orange juice into paper cups. She began to feel as if a weight was coming off of her shoulders.
The first of the sunrise service parishoners started to come down the stairs.
" Happy Easter Elnora" Mildred Gerch said as she hugged her friend. " Christ is risen".
" Christ is risen indeed". She handed her friend a plate of egg souffle and a hot cross bun.
The sunrise service crowd was small. Elnora had just enough egg souffle and hot cross buns to go around. When the traffic had died down, she sat down to rest.


Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
