Empty Bowls

Looking for my bowl

It was good to get back to our local "Empty Bowls" event last month.

For a donation, you pick your own bowl from hundreds handmade by local artists and pottery students. Then you get a scoop of soup and piece of bread to enjoy before taking your bowl home. 

(Or, if you are Elsa or me, you bring your own less-allergenic foods to eat in your empty bowl.)

The best part is that all the donations go to the local Salvation Army. Each year we get to talk to our local lieutenant and are so impressed by the work they are doing and the lives that are being touched with God's love and truth.

Back at home, Elsa's bowl works great along with chopsticks for "egg-roll-in-a-bowl."
