Wendys Rises Above the Burger King!

http://consumerist.com/2012/03/wendys-unseats-the-burger-king-in-fast-food-rankings.html - see this article for the news of Wendys rising above Burger King.

Wendys has been a FAVORITE fast food restaurant since I can remember. I used to order a single with bacon, cheese, onions, and lettuce which later became the bacon cheeseburger, which evolved into the baconator.  I remember there was a Wendys employee – that when I was 12, really made the experience fun through the drive thru. That was over 25 years ago.

From the Superbar days (when the Wendys employee had to explain to me the concept of “all you can eat buffet”)  to now, I’ve ALWAYS loved Wendys and the taste – and quality has only gotten better as I’ve gotten older and older with each passing year. Now my order is a #4 1/4lb with onions and lettuce only, upsized with an Iced Tea unsweetened and a Jr. Bacon with onion and lettuce only. I’ve been ordering that style since I can remember, no matter what the product was called at the time. It always throws off Wendys employees all over the country but inevitably most get it right.

As an adoptee I always appreciated Dave Thomas’s awareness for orphans – and as a Six Million Dollar Man fan I enjoyed seeing his cameo in “Bionic Ever After”. Wendys has been a part of my life for 25 years. Congratulations to Wendys for achieving this milestone! It’s been a great rise and I look forward to seeing Wendys continue to make it to top! – Ron Hall

Full Circle

Today was pretty cool, I have to admit, even in Ron Hall’s world. It was a rare opportunity where someone who is with me now in Camp Greenwood got to meet one of the original 8 (Josh & Kayci, Moesha and Montez, Jonathan and Lorien, Ariana and EJ)

For me it was fun to see things come full circle as the first female member of Camp Greenwood met the final female member of Camp Greenwood. There was just something fun and powerful about seeing the two of them together.

I’m all about moments – and this was definitely one of those nice little “kiss to the past” moments that I’ve enjoyed this year. 4 more months to go until the end of Camp Greenwood. But if there are more moments like this…

Blessings

I wish I could write more openly about this. But sometimes some things I just can’t. For so many reasons.

But I can say I have been blessed beyond my wildest imagination over the last few weeks. I’ve gone places I haven’t gone, done things I haven’t done, and experienced things I haven’t experienced before.

I know nothing lasts forever. But I can say that this has been the most amazing adventure and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. Some moments are uncomfortable, some are downright dangerous, but they have all been nothing short of amazing.

I can say this though, at the end of the day,  never adventure without honey mustard.
