Ahhh...breakfast for supper. Always a big hit. At the second stop we broke out the lasagna for seconds - an even bigger hit! We went through that fast. 


We've made the switch to eating inside for the rest of the winter. It's always interesting to see the difference that a setting makes in people's behavior. If you look at some of the pictures I've posted, you'll see that the courtyard we have used for the first stop is basically a big circle that our friends sit along the edge of. Somebody is on the left and right but not right in front of them. It's a big group but you're still in a singular spot, so it's easy to eat and not engage in conversation if you don't want to. Being inside at a table puts you in a group of people and more likely to be included in conversation.


It's easier for most of the youth to engage them at the tables, too. Some of them, however, are great at it wherever we do it. Elaine King might be one of the best listeners in the world. She's great at sitting down beside one of our friends and letting them tell her everything they need to. Bailey and Sam Gates were good it it, too.


Congratulations to Mark Carr. Mark, who planned and led a Tuesday night a couple of weeks ago as part of his Graduation project,  presented his project to the Graduation Board judges last night and knocked it out of the park, just like I knew he would. 


Trying to think about the Christmas meal. We were kicking around ideas the other night in the parking lot when we were done. We came up with a couple of ideas, which is actually pretty good for us. We never need to worry about being mistaken......
