Ham Dinner SOLD OUT!!!

Went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and got up this morning at 07:30 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got changed into street clothes. I got the five pies that my mother baked yesterday and got them loaded up into my car. I then grabbed something to eat for breakfast and left around 07:42 hours and headed up to the fire house for the ham dinner today. I got up there and stopped out front of the hall and took all my pies in and then parked my car beside the old firehouse. I then went into the hall and ate breakfast and then helped set some things up and moving some things around. Robin then called Martha and asked if anyone wnated anything from McDoanld's. I had her pick me up an Orange Juice and a Susasge Biscuit. She then got there and I ate that and then we set up some more stuff. Cakes and Pies kept coming in and Martha was working on cutting them. Bill then showed up and brought in the two cakes that his mother had made. This time we had an over abundence of cakes. We started serving people around 10:30 hours, which is pretty normal for us. We had one table seated and eating and it was myself, Robby, Jason Faust, Matt, and Andy standing at the one window when all of a sudden Martha walked farily quickly to the back room. I told Sabrina to go back and check on Martha. Next thing I know I heard Sabrina yell for me and Bill to get back there now as Martha could not breath. I took off for the kitchen and ran into the arm of one of the guys that had just come in the hall. I quickly appologized and ran to the back room. Troy and Helen were already back there. Helen was digging through Martha's purse looking for a Benadryl and Troy had already handed Martha a bottle of water. I yelled out to Robby to go get the med bag off of the Engine and bring it back up to the hall since it has oxygen in it. We got her on the oxygen and she was still having some problems and then Bill said he was calling 911. By now Martha had gotten the Benadryl in her and it was starting to take affect. Right after they dispatched for it, I told Bill I was calling in to cancel EMS as she was doing better now, and I proceeded to do so. We told her not to do anything for at least 30 minutes and to just relax. IU went back to serving and it picked up very fast at one point. By 13:15 hours, we had to shut down as we had SOLD OUT!!! That was a first for me. We sereved a total of 441 people between eat-in's and take-out's. We started cleaing up and were all done by 16:00 hours. After we had most everything cleaned up, it was time for the help to eat. There was very, very little ham left, but enough for us to eat. Jason Faust, Andy, Robby and Lyle, started having butter packet fights and then they switched to applesauce. Andy got me good with one and then I tried to get him. This continued on for a good 30 minutes. People then started to clear out and then me, LeeAnn and Helen went down to the station so that Helen could pratice with the air pack. We did that for about 1 hour and then we all left and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
