7 October 2012

Well, of course I didn't get up early this morning after being up late last night! I'll get back to exercising tomorrow morning.

I did the weekly grocery shopping this morning. There were more people than usual on a Sunday morning, but not nearly as many as LAST week, when everyone was shopping for week of Sukkot.

We ate lunch at Il Pentolino today. We had planned on eating there Friday but had to stay home in order to be here when our landlord came to fix the refrigerator. I had whole-wheat spaghetti with a nice sautéed vegetable sauce, and David had penne with a vegetable cream sauce. I don't think I have EVER had a better pasta sauce anywhere -- this one is absolutely perfect!

This evening we drove the short loop after dark. We stopped at one point where there were NO direct artificial lights visibile in any direction. It was great to see so many stars; I saw the Milky Way, which I don't think I'd seen in YEARS!

When we came back into town, we went over to the Ice Park & Mall and had dessert -- apple pie and strawberry ice cream for David, and a slice of baked cheese cake for me. Almost all the stores were closed (because it's the eve of Simkhat Torah, the last day of Sukkot), but Kakao (where we ate), McDonald's, and the ice rink itself were all open, and lots of people, mostly kids, were out there skating and having a great time. It's nice to watch!
