I am really going

I finally emailed Ed and Irene a couple of weeks ago to ask about coming to serve at DVF in May and got this reply within an hour:

"Absolutely!!!! We would count it a privilege to have you! And your friends!!!!! Stay in touch and we will plan to see you early May!!!!

Blessings and Love,
Irene & Ed"

So I guess I'm really going!! To say I'm excited is an incredible understatement...I can't wait to be there!  Two more weeks of classes, 2 days of final exams, a few days of unpacking dorm stuff and doing laundry, and then repacking bags to be gone for a month. 

But for now, homework's a reality...  Another 3 page "overnight write" about America's external empire in the 20th century.  It really is actually interesting stuff, but I just keep thinking about the summer.  I have to remind myself that all the reading and writing will be done soon and summer will be here.  :)

Lots of black beans and rice! Yum!

Yep, that's certainly one thing I'm excited about!!

Next weekend, I will make some more! I wonder if black beans and salsa help you concentrate for studying for finals like blueberries do...

I'd go for the blueberries! Maybe in a pie.

Or you could make blueberry cobbler the easy way.

1 stick butter/margarine
1 c. milk
1 c. sugar
1 c. self-rising flour
2 cans of blueberry pie filling

Melt butter in 9X13 baking dish.
Combine milk, sugar & flour and pour into dish.
Pour pie filling on top and bake at about 350 for 30-40 minutes.

(Works with other pie fillings too...peach is my favorite.)

Of course, you probably don't have an oven in your dorm room...that could be a problem.
