Today is a two for one since I didn't get a chance to post yesterday.
First up is Saturday and Volleyball Cookies.

Yesterday I took cookies to our daughter's volleyball team.  It was kind of a cop-out because I wasn't really taking them to someone to say thank you or anything like that.  We were going to be spending the whole day at a volleyball tournament, so I knew that I wouldn't get a chance to take cookies/desserts any where.  The girls and parents liked them.  I will do better next time.

Now for today.
                                     

I had made these football cookies (it is Super Bowl Sunday after all) to take to a friend at church, but I forgot them at home when I took the kids to Sunday School. 
 I work part-time for our church as the Director of Religious Education.  Yesterday while we were at the volleyball tournament, I remembered that I needed to get the soup pot out for our Souper Bowl of Caring collection.  Well we didn't get home until almost 5:00pm and our daughter had a band concert last night as well.  So we were only home for a few minutes to change before heading to the school for the concert.  Because of all that I didn't get to the church with the soup pot.  This morning when I took the kids to Sunday School, one of teachers told me that Zeke (a really wonderful man at our church) had taken care of the Souper Bowl collection and left the money for me.  Well I thought about those cookies I had forgotten and realized I had a better recipient.  
I had to teach the Confirmation Session after church, so on my way to the Session I stopped my the house and picked up the cookies.  After the session I went back to the church to drop off the books and noticed that Zeke's truck was there.  He was there with one of our Men's groups setting up for our Pancake Supper.  I went over and delivered the cookies to him and told him thank you for covering for me with the collection.  (This was not the first time he had helped me out).  He said thanks and said that he would share them with the other men setting up for the dinner.  
Even this is only day 3 of my project, I find myself making a list of all the people that I want to thank with Desserts.  Hopefully I will be able to keep it up for a whole 365 days.
