The 3rd and penultimate soup show of the season was this weekend, Yuletide Treasures in Columbia City on Saturday. Beth’s been so sore lately, and making soup is harder than ever, so I think this time she felt as unprepared as ever, but we had some of everything and plenty of Soala (renamed Christmas Harvest Soup this year, though). It wasn’t a record-setting show, but the foot traffic was fairly heavy and very consistent throughout the day, and by the end we had sold out of several of the lower-volume kinds and almost 4 dozen Harvests. In all we sold something like 146 soups, which was not an all-time record but not far off from it. 

We got a call from Matthew and Kim earlier in the week, asking if we’d like to go out to dinner with them on Thursday, and we did. We chose the Boathouse because neither of us had been there in a while, so we met up and had a nice dinner together. After dinner they asked us kind of on a whim if we were interested in seeing a movie too. They’d been thinking of seeing “Now You See Me, Now You Don’t” so they invited us to join them right then. Sounded like a good idea so we did. We all enjoyed it, although I’d say it was more entertaining than good. But it was a good time going out with friends, who invited us out!

Monday Alex had a job interview...for something more or less related to his field. It was for a position in software development with Winona IT. We are praying hard.
