If you weren't wearing red- you shouldn't be in town. As most of you may know- The Cardinals became the "comeback kids" this year. With a 1% chance of making it to the playoffs, they pulled that off and then came back in game 7 to win the world series. Not only that- but the hero of all those games just happened to be a hometown boy- David Freese. Sunday there was a parade downtown and let me tell you- it definitely choked me up. Good stuff, good stuff.

Now back to red- red wine was most delicious this weekend as well. My husband and I headed out to Chandler Hill Winery for a friend's birthday- seriously, the weather was perfect. I was able to take some pictures on my Iphone but they certainly won't do the view justice. Not being a Missouri native, I never realized how beautiful Missouri actually is- I mean folks, there are hills and bluffs like no other. With the trees beginning to change colors- this site was something else. I opted for a pinot noir that day (which I was a little apprehensive about a Missouri wine) that was quite good. I would definitely pick up a bottle at the local grocers.

Harry Houdini became America's most well-knowned magician from the age of 17. It was only fitting then for him to pass on October 31, 1926 from a ruptured appendix.
