hi there,
just thought I would drop in and see how things are going
round here..
I have a few recipes, for you today, and maybe a story or two.
I work full time at co op this year,
It has a good side to it, and a bad side.
Just like anything in life.. but here the good out weigh
the bad..
I cant tell you all how much the co op means to me.
I have spent about 7yrs there.. and wouldnt trade it for nothing..
The students there, ar elike my chidren.. they live in our houses,
for 4 or 5 years, sometimes for 7 or even 8 years..
I get to know them, know what they like to eat, how they keep there rooms
do there laundry, fold there clothes..wash there dishes and so on.
You hear there love stories, there happy days , and the bad days..
you hug them, tell them its going to be fine.
We laugh and tell stories in the kitchen, some will never be revealed.

I treat the kids like they are my own.
I cater to them, what they want, or need,
I do what I can to give them..
Im not the head of the kitchen or anything, I just give  100%
to them and the co op..
I love that place, its my dream job.. its no big executive job, I definetly
dont get paid top dollar.. but its not always about the money.
I speak to people all the time, some hate what they do.. some do it because of the money..

I was laughed at and told it was a habit..
because when we serve ice cream, I stay out there and scoop it for them..
I like to serve them dessert..
I was thanked by the students for doing it.. because they felt like there mom or gramma
was here doing it..
Priceless...............
I dont think I can ever say how this place makes me feel..
The students are my time away from the real world..
I tank them for that..
until next time..
