downtown

One weekend at the end of October, we decided to stay put in town and do some shopping downtown. It was just before the first of the November holidays, so people were buying silk flowers for the cemetery, and flags for the patriotic holidays had just started to pop up. I decided I'd hold my breath and venture into the meat area of the market so we could buy some fish, but we were too late, and it was already packed up for the day. Next time! We did buy a $1 pineapple from the sweetest man with an entire pickup truck full. I wonder how many he was able to sell! The girls were excited about the flags and hair bows we bought in preparation for the week's parades.

Oh, and before we left the house that day, we worked to rescue a gigantic moth that was trapped in our window. It was at least 6 inches wide and tough to catch!
