A hot....but a good day!!

Both the 1st Lady and I were up and on the road by 7:45 this morning. We spent the morning and early afternoon with a visit to Michael.....and enjoyed our time together!!!

From there we went on to Arnold and then to the Gravois Bluffs Shopping Area..........did you really expect us to hit the suburbs withOUT doing some shopping?????? We found only one panel of some draperies and purchased it, along with a 140" drapery pole for our large window in the living room. Not certain if we would actually like the panel drapery, we didn't attempt to find another shop in the city that had three others in stock. As wide as the window is, it will take four panels to cover it completely at night, so we need three more.

Yep......when we arrived home .....we quickly tried out the new panel......and the colors look great at night with only table lamps on. In the morning we will see how the colors "hold up" in the streaming sunlight of the early part of the day.

After a bit more shopping, we headed to the Arnold Cinema and caught a really enjoyable movie: The Devil Wears Prada. I really enjoyed it.........not a very deep thinking or complex movie, but it was good study in the characteristics of a fashion diva. AND....the scenes that were made in Paris.....WELL......it made me salivate to get back over there SOON!!!!!!! I, and the 1st Lady, BOTH love Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is beautiful city and is always soooooo wonderful to stroll around, not to mention the wonderful art museums....and the croissants and the WINE!!!!!!! OMG..........it has been five years since I have been over there.....and the urge to get back there is overcoming me. I have been to Europe twelve times and 2 or 3 of those times I have gone to Paris more than once on each trip. I can't imagine anyone NOT liking and enjoying Paris.

We returned to TheHowserHouse this evening and caughter some Tivo'd shows we missed today. All in all........a wonderful day, albeit a bit hot this afternoon.........but,

LIFE IS GREAT.......and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!! (GO TO PARIS!!!)
