Ronald McDonald House




Several ladies and I had the awesome opportunity to love on some families staying at the Fort Worth Ronald McDonald House.  We got to cook lunch for them!  First of all, I've never been in a RMH before, but have known friends who have been blessed by this wonderful organization. This one is located next to Cook Children's Hospital and it is incredible!  Their goal is to make every family feel like they are at home and try to provide everything they need so all the family needs to be concerned with is the sick child.  And they do a fabulous job!


Janie, me, Elaine, and Shawna.  Pat and Louise were taking a break when this photo op happened.

 Their kitchen is incredible!  They even have their own embroidered aprons!

 Louise browning the meat so we can make taco soup.

 Janie trying to figure out how much tea to make.  We were very thankful she was willing to do all that figurin'!

 Shawna and Pat making the fruit salad.

 Yep, read those directions because they are making brownies!!!

Everyone was so very grateful and thankful!  They even invited us back and asked us to cook the exact same thing.  So next week, it's taco soup, tortilla chips, fruit salad, and brownies again at the RMH! 

 I had the opportunity to talk to several sets of parents and a couple of patients of Cooks.  I was so touched by their courage....I loved hearing their stories.  And the good news was that everyone I talked to should be home by Thanksgiving.  Such a simple thing....to cook a meal with friends....but it can touch a soul.
