Day 2 (or so)

OK.  I was told today that I am a horrible blogger.  Supposedly, when you mention that you hope to blog once per day, people expect you to blog more than once a week.  Whatever!  So here is day two.  BTW I measure days in 168 hour blocks.  it makes life more interesting and means that I am blogging once per day still.  The length of my days can shorten or lengthen based on my wants or desires without any prior notice. 

So we are in the middle of planning Cohort 2 of our YouthBuild Peoria program.  This cohort is gonna be so much better than the last one.  I am so excited about what we can accomplish with this program and who it can effect.  I love that I am part of a program that helps people get out of poverty and build their lives instead of simply providing them with the means to stay poor forever.  Hopefully we will help 30 more young adults get started with the lives that they have had on hold.

The Thanksgiving holiday was great.  I love feeding people, so hosting this year made me feel great.  I love when something I cook, build. or create comes out wonderful.  Not to pat myself on the back or anything, but the turkey I cooked this year was one of the tenderest turkeys I have ever eaten.  I tried lifting it out of the roaster and the breast meat simply pulled right off the bone.  The legs and wings simply fell off the bird as well.  It was great.  And everybody ate a ton.  That just makes me happy. 

I have to go grocery shopping today.  Not sure what dinner will be yet, but the grocery store is a great place to plan meals.  I don't want to wait until another Thanksgiving to feed friends again though, so if anybody wants to be fed, leave me a message and lets find a time for you to come over and share a meal with my family.  You can even put in meal requests.  LOL, with the meals I cook, I probably don't even need advanced notice.  I seem to have a habit of cooking for eight. 

I hope this finds everybody well.  God bless all of you and I hope to see all old friends again someday soon.  I will try to not wait the full day before blogging again.
