Beginning of Winter

Well Winter is settling in here in St. Louis, the temperature dropped to 70.0 degrees today, down from 75 yesterday and we are pulling out the parkas and snow boots to "dress for the weather" (thank you mother for that age old tiding ringing in my head). Well it is not quite feeling like winter but we decided to get into the winter spirit - or start at least. We put up a few small Christmas decorations and have been listening to Christmas music and are waiting for the weather to cooperate with Matthew's wishes.

But today we went down to Soulard Market in downtown St. Louis and stocked up on fresh fruits and veggies... We got..
1. 7 ears of corn
2. 2 cantelope
3. 1 pineapple
4. a big bag of shrooms
5. 5 lbs. of potatoes
6. a bag of half molded grapes
7. 2 cucumbers
8. 3 green peppers
9. a bag of big carrots
10. 1 head of romaine lettuce
11. 1 head of broccoli
12. 1 lb. of bacon
13. 1 lb. of ground beef
14. 1 lb. of stew meat
15. 1 lb. of provolone cheese
16. 4 onions

All for $30! Now that sounds good to me!

Today I also spent an hour and a half working at the St. Louis food bank with some St. Mark's people which was a lot of fun and I think my hands are a little bit sore!

Tomorrow Matthew and I have our second American Kantorei concert which is exciting. Tonight we are having dinner with some friends and thats about it for today!
