This has been a day off for me, thanks be to God.
I found out from the repairman this morning that my ice maker is finished, so there’s a bit of expense coming down the pike. Meanwhile, ice is made the old-fashioned way.
At about 10.30 this morning, Glen and Tim arrived to take me on rounds with them. Before four hours were up, we’d stopped at
The central building at the Farmer's Market in Soulard.
- Soulard Farmer’s Market
- Globe Drugs in Soulard
- Jay International Grocers on South Grand
- Volpi’s and DiGrigorio’s on the Hill
- The Wine and Cheese Shop.
Here are the purchases today:
The grocery bags included sesame seeds, lentils, guarana from Brazil, pineapple, wine, Danish butter, tomato paste in a tube, capers, roasted red peppers, dried onion, beef and chicken stock, raspberry jam, pasta, and so on.
I napped, finished laundry, paid bills, answered emails, and then prepared a light dinner for D before we went to see a movie. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is curious indeed. I think it tries to hard, and it sorely needed editing, but I give the movie high praise for cinematography, art direction, special effects, and sound design.
Here are two pics of Samson today:
Samson still hasn't figured out the basement steps, so he stands at the top and barks.
I love the way the light comes in the southeast window in the morning.
