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!
