There are a few things that I miss about St. Louis and I think that the fall is going to be the biggest thing that I miss. However, I got pretty excited over the weekend since the temps got colder that I had expected. I really love crisp mornings and getting out there with the smell of people burning wood in their fireplaces. But I don't have a fireplace so I make do with other things that can make me feel fallish. One of the keys to enjoying fall here in the south is that you make the most of it when it comes because it could get back up to 100 before you know it. 100 might be an exaggeration but it can get warm again.
When I went to Target for our weekly meeting... me shopping them taking my money. Since it was cool I stopped by the Starbucks and grabbed a hot chocolate. I enjoyed sipping on my hot chocolate while I was looking for things for my new apartment, I didn't make any purchases I just looked around for things that I want.

Once I got home I realized that what sounded amazing to me was some chili so I quickly convinced my grandfather to let me whip up a pot of chili (recipe to follow at a later date). As a bonus I decided to whip up a little batch of my personal apple pie pickets (again, recipe to follow). It was really an amazing dinner, I really enjoyed the chili and the apple pies where the perfect ending to the meal. I always love being able to cook for other people it really brings lots of joy to my life.

I love the start of fall it is the kickoff to the holiday season, I love the holidays. I just love being able to give to friends and family. Also fall means football season, gotta cherish this while the games are on. Well I am going to get back to work and look forward to the next fall day.
