My daughters adopted friend, what a blessing in service!
I wanted to stop everything tonight and take a quick second to write up this post so that I can always remember the program that we went to tonight.
My daughter Storie “adopted” a friend at a senior center this year through her school. Her friend Anna, comes weekly to her school and they read together.
Storie comes home and tells me about Anna and the books they read. At Christmas she got a beautifully hand written card from Anna, in handwriting that we just don’t see anymore. It was so beautiful, and real penmanship.
Tonight was their end of the year program where we went to the senior center to meet their adopted friends and the kids had a chance to read aloud to the room.
I couldn’t help but be filled with emotion as we walked in the room to see these beautiful seniors all dressed up and eagerly waiting for their student to arrive. My heart broke as some kept looking and looking for their little friends and they were not able to make it.
Anna is 92, beautiful, smart, and loves my little girl. She shared with me so many of the funny things Storie had told her over the year about her family and the things that she likes to do. Anna told me about all the books they read together and how much it made her entire day to see Storie. She asked us to please come visit her this summer and let Storie read to her. I couldn’t say YES fast enough!
What an amazing program they have created for kids all from volunteers. I am touched by all the time and effort generous people put into volunteering, they touch all of our lives. From scouts, to educational programs and even things like the Houston Rodeo people who give their time and talents in service to others have no idea how they bless the lives of those around them.
I am so grateful for all the people who serve and for the times I have been blessed to volunteer as well. Often I have found that I was expecting to do service and found that in doing the service I was the one who was served.
I can’t wait to bring all the kids back to read to Anna this summer and for them to meet Stories adopted friend!

Taco Salad with Catalina Dressing Recipe
My husband asked for Taco Salad with Catalina Dressing for dinner tonight, so I thought I would share the recipe with you again, as it is really good in the summer!
This has been a staple meal in our house for quite a few years now. It is a kid and hubby favorite! I love it because it is easy and yummy!!
First, brown 1lb. ground beef or turkey with 1 packet of taco seasoning. When cooked set aside and let cool.
Chop 1 head of iceberg lettuce into pieces, cut up one tomato (isn’t this a beautiful heirloom one from my garden!) and finally grate 1 cup of carrots.
Next, drain and rinse, 1 can ranch style beans and 1 can black olives. Have your kids slice the olives.
Add it all together into a LARGE bowl.
Call your kids in and make them help! Add 1 package of your favorite yellow cheese mix. Almost an entire bag of nacho cheese Doritos crushed and a bottle of catalina salad dressing. Now if you can find the sweet honey great, if not just use regular.
Add the cooled meat and cheese. If taking to a potluck, wait and put the dressing on when you get there. ** Make sure to get the Sweet Honey Catalina or the Original, not the kind with the spices in it.
Again, have your kids or the BIG kid crush the Doritos up into the salad. This is my BIG kid, I don’t have man hands!
Serve with sliced avocado… I would have but my dumb store only had rock hard avocados, darn.
Taco Salad with Catalina Dressing
1lb. ground beef or turkey
1 package taco seasoning
1 can black olives sliced
1 can ranch style beans drained and rinsed
2 c. shredded cheese
1 cup shredded carrots
1 head chopped lettuce
1 tomato chopped
1 small bunch green onions sliced
1 bag nacho cheese Doritos crushed
1 bottle catalina salad dressing
Brown hamburger and add taco seasoning, let cool. Add all ingredients together and dress with catalina when ready to eat. Garnish with avocado.
Remember to add the dressing when you are ready to eat!
