Things have been quite busy since my last post. The weekend of September 10-12 was the Popeye Picnic in town. I don't think we will ever spend that much time at this particular festival ever again. (I wound up spending almost 15 hours there over the weekend, and Pete pulled in a good 17.) One of the highlights of the weekend was the 5K run/competitive walk. We didn't think we were quite in shape enought to do the run, so we did the walk. We both ended up coming in second in our age group (although I had more people in my age group to compete against than Pete did). It was good exercise and a good motivation to be ready to do the run next year. (Oh, and we got trophies, too! My students thought it was great.)
Last Friday we went up to St. Louis to go see Shrek the Musical. They changed it quite a bit from the Broadway show, and it was abit of a disappointment. But, it was nice to be able to eat dinner at a Bread Co. (Panera) and do a little shoe shopping in a place that actually has multiple good eateries and stores to shop in. (Boy, I never thought that I would consider St. Louis the fun place to be!) This Friday we will be back in St. Louis to go to the St. Louis Repratory Theater's production of You Can't Take It With You. We plan on getting sushi for dinner (something you definately cannot get here), and hopefully spending time with some friends.
As a side note, the senior pastor at our church declined the call he had received, so there are no major changes there for now.
