Meals #22 and 23

Well, I haven't blogged every day this week but I have delivered my meals.  Obviously, this time of year makes it hard  to have the extra time.  When I was thinking about this project in October, my plan was to start this in November even though I knew it would overlap Thanksgiving.  However my dad ended up having open heart surgery the first weekend in November so I decided to push it back. I ended up starting the blog knowing I would start later in November and it was okay if it overlapped the holidays or it was in the midst of them.  It has turned out, I believe, that this has been the best season of all to pursue this project, busy or not.  I think the receivers of these meals have felt like these have been gifts.  I have certainly felt like I am giving a gift.....a gift of time, love and even monetarily, I suppose.  Regardless, it has certainly been my pleasure to give this season. 
Yesterday, I took the meal to the IT guy.  He was in the front office with  many of the other administrators that I've already taken to.  I told him that he had soup for dinner.  One of the ladies spoke up and said, "Oh, it is so good.  But I remembered hers was Santa Fe and then another lady spoke up and I had taken her vegetable beef soup.  So that was cool that it wasn't all the same stuff.
I made arrangements yesterday before I left to bring a meal to the art teacher so I took that today.  That was my last bit of 5 cup salad.  I was not able to talk to the chorus teacher so I left a message for her to call me.  She did and this was the first time in all of this project for me to not ask in-person for me to bring a meal.  But the chorus teacher knew me pretty well.  I don't think I would advise a phone conversation with people you don't know well.  It is best to talk in-person.  I will be taking her meal tomorrow.  I have one more container of the broccoli cheese soup and one more package made up of cookies.   I will need to make cornbread tomorrow to go with it.  I will have to line up someone for Friday and then I will finish out this project in my neighborhood over the weekend and into next week.  I just have a week left of meals for the 30 days.  hmmmmm what will I do next?
