So. tonight I am going to the Womens Pagan group tonight. The woman who I met at the Unitarian Church and holds the meetings in her home is a delight to talk to. I am looking forward to it. A little nervous about it, but excited none the less.

I am asking a favor to you all who can interpret dreams. I had a doozie last night. Please let me know and I will e-mail you privately.

I went to our Farmer's Market on Tuesday and came back with some great goodies. A huga bag of carrots, fresh eggs, 2 vegan brownies, some great red potatoes, and Wild Mustang Grape jelly. This week I hope to get some meat. I was a little late in getting there so I missed some good stuff.

The newsletter I receive about our Farmers Mkt said even with the rain last week, 300 cars came through! YAY! If I can't find what I want I am trying to make a conscious effort to buy Texas made products at the grocery or co-op, and if I can't find that them I am buying organic. It is much more expensive, but the more we try maybe eventually, the prices will come down.

Our food bank newletter has an interesting link. The new VP (I think) is trying to eat on the weekly food stamp amout provided to those in need. $21 dollars a week!!!! He has been blogging about it. I think it is pitiful that our nation, one of the wealthiest, cannot provide more.
