Food for Thought

My team met for lunch at the home of one of our own. We were treated like queens and our palates were delighted. We knew in advance that the meal would be delicious and we could hardly wait for today to arrive. Knowing that our meal was lovingly prepared by someone who knows her way around a kitchen and who truly cares about us made the meal all the more perfect.

We enjoyed a fantastic lunch of perogis with homemade sauce, garlic bread, salad, olives, pickled okra, and Italian pomegranite soda. Our dessert was a decadent chocolate and vanilla ice cream cake with peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and a granola crust. We dined in a warm and inviting house and we shared stories and laughter.

We are a team and we are a family. We know how to laugh at ourselves and each other without anyone being offended. We know how to relax and we know how to work hard. We know how to listen to each other and we know when to speak up. We applaud each other's successes and we cry for each other when life doesn't quite go according to plan. We are the Enrichment Team and while it is our "job" to enrich the curriculum and students at the school where we work, it is truly the lives of each other that we enrich the most. I love you guys!
