Is It Fall Yet?

Ah Fall.  "What is that?" - you in Arizona ask.   Golden Days.

The day has been clear and sunny.  It actually got up to about 68 degrees in the afternoon.  Everyone is active and enjoying the warmth and beauty.  I have a feeling that when Fall truly gets underway we will be completely blown away by the scenery.  It was a perfect day and evening for a light jacket.  On one of our walks to a store, I told SK that this day was almost too beautiful...a light breeze was blowing and the contrasts and clear light made everything look glorious.

Food preparation day.  We shopped at all the usual places...Metro, Turkish Market Place (This is an interesting little fruit stand basically...indoors, with an interesting variety of fresh produce and canned and packaged foods from exotic places....all at a pretty good discount), Fotex, Netto and Rema1000.

We think we got everything we need for a simple meal tomorrow evening.  When I say simple, I mean on the serving table it will be simple....preparation, well let's just say that without Erin and Ethan it may be a long day!

For dinner:  Hawaiian Haystacks and fresh dinner rolls (using the Bosch!) and for dessert Peach Cobbler.

I spent several hours at the center today while SK was doing other things.  I sat with my computer working on the art talk about Jesus Christ.  I have many more slides than I can possibly use in an hour and so it is always a challenge to know what to NOT use.  But it is a joy to prepare for.

At home, I worked on putting some things together to take to the center tomorrow morning.  We'll carry all of the stuff we need over in the car and then SK will bring the car home and walk over.  We'll walk home in the evening when the day and Institute and dinner are over. ..that is unless SK feels up to going at some point to get the car so that we can get all of the stuff home (crock pot etc.).
