Good Afternoon, FS Warriors!

I started my first course in the Ministry Preparation Program at the Nazarene Bible College this morning. I'm really excited about beginning this adventure at just about the time I'm ready to close out another phase of my life. As most of you know, I will be retiring from my job effective December 31st. And I've already retired once from the military. I doubt I will retire from a 3rd occupation; I think I'll make this one just for fun till I go up. :D

Drove up to the store and picked up some chicken wire and straw so I'll be ready to put the roses and other sensitive plants to bed before the hard freezes set in. Stopped at the grocery store to get all the ingredients so I could make my world famous chile for tonight's weenie roast at the church. Well, I think it's world famous; the world just doesn't know it. It will definitely clear out your sinuses. The worst part is I keep sampling it to make it just right. I've been at it for the last 4 hours. I got my daughter to try it; she loves it. DW won't come near it. I've got the roaster pan filled to the brim. I don't know how much of it will be eaten, but regardless, if there is any left, I'll take it to work for lunch until it's gone. It's that good. I don't mind saying so myself. :D

Well, that's about it. I'll let you know how it goes. Perfect cool weather for a bonfire, wieners, chile and cider. Probably coffee and iced tea too. Who knows what covered dishes will show up. Dang, I hate it when that happens! :) Well, anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Toodles!

When one door closes, another door opens really fits you :) So awesome you taking going to college and taking classes. You will succeed! Chili, as always sounds awesome. I love chili, usually the hotter the better but I have to tone it down so the rest of the family can enjoy it with me. One of my DD loves spicy heat but it breaks her face out in a red rash. So I had hot pepper flakes and Texas Pete to my personal bowl of chili :) This is the perfect weather for that activity. Have some extra fun for me!!

you sound like you are in a good place right now, ENJOY! Chili sounds awesome, I made some low carb chili at the beginning of the year but haven't had any since. I can eat leftovers day after day also....Love it!

A few months into your retirement and you will wonder how you had the time to work. It is a very true saying "If you want something doing ask a busy man." Learn to say no. Spend more time with your wife. Enjoy.
