These last three weeks have just flown by. Allison has been busy with school and with helping her sister, Amanda Coleman et al, move to Arizona. Allison even flew out to Mesa for four day to help unpack and organize the new house. It was hard to say goodbye but we are able to video chat with them often.
I have been assisting Al in her studying and have been busy with work too. I spent 4 days in St. Louis, MO, helping my bosses at USDA organize and run the Advancing Renewable Fuels conference. I had a great time and learned a lot. There is a picture of me at the St. Louis Arch.
While we were in town, Al and I have been to museums and parks and have really enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. Here is a picture of us in front of the Smithsonian on our way to observe ancient Egyptian artifacts for one of her classes. Here is another picture of her at the Building Museum where we observed how to make your house "Green", or more energy efficeint. It was really interesting and we left insipired.
This last weekend we were able to pick up some pumpkins with Al's family, the Toskovich's, just down the road from where they live. We carved them Sunday night and as always, it turned into a competition of who could carve the most elaborate pumpkin. Showing good form, I let her dad win.
