Are we Italian?
As we were eating supper last night I felt very Italian. We had pasta with red sauce and steaks. Ok, so that's a pretty normal meal, but for some reason it felt like we were mobsters eating at Fat Joe's or something. I grilled steaks, crusted in crushed pepper and spices. Jen made pasta with red sauce. I sauteed some mushrooms to put on the steaks. It was a delicious meal. I love to eat and I love to enjoy food with other people. I'm so glad God created us to eat all different kinds of foods and enjoy them. It would be so boring if we only needed a pill or something to survive. Instead, we get to experience a vast array of beautiful foods!
Things continue to be great here in Gainesville. I was talking last night on the phone to a friend from Lincoln who said that yesterday when he woke up, he put on a sweatshirt and a hat as he went out since it was "chilly." I think I'll miss the fall and the distinct, crisp air that ushers in the new season. Here in Gainesville highs are still in the 90's. Mornings and nights are a little cooler but nothing like that cool fall air of Illinois. But, when all you Illinoisians are freezing your faces off in January and February, I'll be wearing shorts. You can't have it all I guess, so I'll take a warm winter.
Well, that's it for this morning. I suppose I better get some work done like, uh, sitting here until customers come. That's how most of my mornings go since it takes me about 15 minutes to get the coffee brewed, muffins wrapped and stocked, register ready, etc. Then I just sit and read and drink coffee and wait 'til the rush, which is usually around 7:15 until 9:00 or so. Then I read some more and go home. Then each week, somehow, they actually pay me to do this! It's great!

I look forward to reading your life story each night and remember you in prayer every day. I have fond memories of the 23 winters WE spent in Florida, but all this came to an end. Tonight--16 of our family were together at RYANS--a Sept-Oct. birthday party--lots of food and was fun!!God bless you.....
