Day 10

Max and I took our Friday for a day of doing something different.  After he finished the animals and got himself cleaned up we headed into town.  The explorer was well over due for an oil change and there happened to be a Holiday Food and Gift Festival going on at the Expo center next door. (if you click on the link you will get to discount tickets)  We dropped off the explorer and walked over to the expo center.  There were all kinds of things in there and we did find some goodies. 

The latest fashion seems to be food more than crafts.  There were numerous vendors with spices mixtures for making dips, rubs, sauces and things like that.  Max and I figured we can come up with our own.  We already do for quite a bit.  We did find out that there is such a thing as pumpkin butter so I know what I can do with some of the pumpkins that we have.

Then we headed out for some lunch together.  After sampling little tidbits we were ready for some food.  We went and had some barbecue.  Then off to Whole Foods to buy some of the shrimp that was on sale.  We got there just in time because they were just about out.

No wonder I cannot lose weight. We like food!

My gift for today was paying Whole Foods $5 for them to give a family of 4 a meal.  The store on North Academy is having a holiday special and putting whole meals together for those that need.  That was a good thing for them to do and I was thankful to be able to help.

I am thankful for spending a fun afternoon with Max.  I had a good time with him.

Have a Grace day.
