We found out this week that Zone Conference has been changed and is two weeks earlier than planned. Tom has cooked and frozen his 6.6 pounds of black beans and I have cooked and seasoned and frozen 10 of my 20 lbs of hamburger. We finally found cheddar cheese in a bigger quantity than 8 oz although we will need to shred it, and corn chips (tostitos) that taste just like those at home. Avocados went on half price this week so we even could afford some of those. We are keeping them cool so they will not ripen too fast. Sister Later found litres of salsa so we will have plenty of that and sliced black olives. This just leaves fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sour cream. Can you guess our menu is taco salad for 55?
The borrowed harp came for Sr. Rasmussen this week. She is accompanying our branch choir in Stake Conference on it and played prelude and postlude today. She is a harp major at BYU and it was so peaceful to listen to her.
On our trip to Creusot this afternoon, the countryside was so beautiful after a week of rain. The grape harvest is finished and the vines have changed from green to gold. This is why our area of Burgundy is called the Gold Coast.
There is a weekend celebration beginning with the conclusion of the last grapes being pressed called Paulée where samplings of different wines are in multiple outdoor areas of Chalon and partakers wander from place to place finding their favorites. This was last weekend. The huge cathedral, St. Vincent, closed for renovations and cleaning since we arrived, was also open. The main section of the church welcomed visitors and we were delighted to see inside. Thus the pictures below.
