Here and About- St. Charles, Missouri

                 

                       This week has been a great connection time 

               with friends connected to the Council of Presidents

 in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod

 as we met in St. Louis, MO this week.

Went out to explore St. Charles, Missouri.

And we didn't miss the Kilwin's Ice Cream Shoppe.

We stumbled upon the Grand Opening Day

 of Fig&Sparrow

 and met this wonderful store owner 

who is also a mom of a 3 and 5 year old.  

Her long-time dream is here and the COVID hurdles

 are set aside 

and we wish her many blessings on this endeavor.

The quaint brick streets and historic buildings

 are home to many fun shops to poke around in!

Here is a highlight from JuJuB's shop

/shopjujubs/

with fun clothing and accessories.

Even if you just want to see the in-between spots

 you will find many interesting vignettes.

There are a lot of historic things

 to check out in St. Charles, Missouri.

Lewis and Clark are connected 

with the historical stories of this Missouri town.

So you get a bit of the story as you walk around.

(sorry about my reflection in the photos)

St. Charles we will be back!!!
