Waffle Wednesday
The next opportunity I had to work directly with many of the residents at Lyngblomsten was at a function called Waffle Wednesday. I began by preparing coffee and making batter with a woman who is a staff person at the organization. She said that Waffle Wednesday is always very busy and she was very happy to have an extra pair of hands to help her. She told me that this is a very popular event. Soon after we had completed the first of the waffles the residents began coming in. Again I found everyone to be very pleasant and kind. I smiled at the people when they came up to get the waffles, and nearly everyone smiled and spoke kindly to me. I felt like I was contributing positively to what seemed to be a very nice morning for many of the residents at Lyngblomsten. We kept putting out coffee and making waffles as the residents continued to come in. It was somewhat busy, but not overwhelming. The steady amount of work was a fun and exciting way of passing the time. After all of the residents had been served I ate one of the waffles myself. The waffle was great, and I could see why the event was so popular among the residents.
