Every other Saturday, my family and I spend the day at Morningstar Mission. This is a local soup-kitchen type organization, where we help the local disadvantaged through meals, monetary support, counsellings and more. It's a wonderful organization started by my good friend and former Deacon. I am now the Volunteer Coordinator there and yesterday was my day to cook. Of course, Howard had to come along to help!
He was a bit scared at first, but found a nice little hiding spot in the mailbox.
But, after a little coaxing, he came out to supervise. Here he is, taking a look around the Mission at our new dining room set up. It met with his approval, luckily.
Of course, he had to check the coffee table to be sure we were well stocked. He got a bit distracted by the sugar, though. ;)
As everyone knows, Gumbles love music! One of the first things Howard found was the piano. He's a wonderfully talented pianist!
There was one scary moment when I couldn't find Howard anywhere! Luckily, after a frantic search, I found him hiding in a box of soup mix.
After one final check on my soup making skills
Howard takes a well deserved rest with my husband.
All in all, Howard had a wonderful day!
Check back soon to see where Howard goes next!
Have a Gumbly Day!

Howard is so cute at the mission. He ought to be careful around that hot soup! Again, a great kid's story in the making I think!
Howard you shouldn't sleep in the soup mix box, you might end up being boiled in the stew!
