Great First Day

Today was my first day at the new job at "The Coffee House".
I am really going to love working there! I am so thankful to the Lord for providing me with a job I will really enjoy :)!

I spent the rest of the afternoon helping out upstairs in the kitchen as The Brother In Law is visiting and Mum wasn't feeling up to doing much cooking.
One of the things I helped with was "cabbage rolls". We made them with grape leafs instead of cabbage, a bit like a Greek recipe. Mom also told me how to make them with cabbage for future reference.
And yes, I'm "one of those people." Yes, I love candy corn...it's a like The Husband and I do not share, which is fine with me!
