10 Days

That's how many days I have left until Culinary School starts. The first day begins at 8:45 a.m. and I have to ride RTD since it's opening day for The Rockies and parking will cost anywhere up to $45 and RTD is only $3. Big difference. I spent all day yesterday baking and cooking for a neighborhood party we are having tonight. We invited everyone and their dog to come over between 6 and 10 to meet and greet those in the area. There are about 45 homes here and I know about 1 of them. Our pastor challenged us at church several weeks ago to make the effort to meet those around us and "love our neighbors". So that is what we are doing. I made hi hats, brownie cups, creamy white bean dip, corn salsa, and strawberry lemonade. Later today I am going to finish a few things and make another salty snack as well as run to the grocery for ice, semi-sweet chips, wine, and almond flavoring. I'm really looking forward to our party. We had a huge response and about 30 people have responded saying they are coming. Maybe I'll take some pictures of the whole thing and post it afterwards.
