Advent, Day 9

The Butterdome.

What a name for building! I believe the name comes from the yellow color of the large exterior of this sports facility at the University of Alberta.

Today, that facility was filled with various craft vendors. I haven't been to a craft show in so long, it felt marvelous to be there with Carla. We got there about 10:15 a.m. and left about 1:15 p.m. I could have stayed even longer!

There was one piece of art I would have loved to have been able to give somebody. It was a piece of art with some very simple pebbles that were shaped like people. The people were sitting in a circle and the title of the piece was simply "Our Circle" if I remember correctly.

We tasted some fine specialty foods, including chocolate covered toffee that was absolutely divine and something called Cowboy Crunch that was also great. Dips, sauces, coffees, ciders . . . they were all there and they were all tasty.

After making it through the craft sale, we went to Vi's for Pies for about an hour.

It felt very Christmas-y to be out and about today, even though it was warmer than expected.

Lord, thank you for a great day of fellowship, fun and foodstuff!
