Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Ava - 3/31

I am now in Ava, the land of the 5 cent ice cream scoops!  I don’t know the whole story behind it, but I believe an older gentleman wanted to share his fondness of the marketplace he frequented growing up.  So, he remodeled it to match the time period and sells regular sized ice cream scoops for the same price as it was when he was a kid—5 cents!  Everything else reflects modern day pricing, but I think he only does that so he can continue offering quality ice cream at an unbeatable deal.  Typically we go and get ice cream after battling a fire so I will let you know later how good it is!


So yeah, I’m on fire rotation this month!  There is a lot of rain forecasted for this week which puts a damper on things, but it sounds like they have a couple of cool alternatives for us to do if the nay-saying comes true.  Going to head to bed.  We’re camped in an RV—all 5 of us and I feel like I’m keeping folks awake.  Every little movement if done in a certain manner makes the whole thing shake.  By the way, I’m the Team Leader in Training this month.  Night!
