We dropped......after we shopped!!!

Oh yeah.......it was up and off to the city before I even had time to fully drink my FIRST cup of Fr. Roast this morning......DAMN!!!! Thankfully, I have a good sized travel cup and so quite a lot of my pot of coffee went with me to STL.

We had a multitude of stops to make to begin to narrow down our choices for the kitchen, now that the cabinets are on order and will be here in 4-5 weeks. We also had to pick up the remaining drapery panels which we needed for the living room.......we bought one last weekend and had "reserved/put on hold" three more panels to be picked up today.

What else? WELL........we spent oodles of time checking out: 1. gas ranges of stainless steel, 2. stainless steel fridges, microwaves, dishwashers, 3. tile for the flooring, 4. countertop materials from laminate to tiles to complete granite tops, 5. recessed can lights of 3", 4", and 5" sizes, hanging pendant lights for the bar section,......etc., etc.

Decided to have a small dinner around 5pm in West County (Manchester Rd.)......at the Madison's Cafe. This was our first time to eat there.......it was just ok. The cream sauce in the pasta dishes we ate was a bit thick and heavy.........the cheese garlic bread did not have enough garlic on it and the bread itself was....well, just rather tasteless and thick. Costs??? Well, I had a prescription filler of dark red medicine.....the house kind...and was about $6.....and the entire meal was only $32.00, so it wasn't expensive, but then it wasn't that good, either.

After dinner, we headed on west out to the Moser Estate for the night. She needs a sitter (us) for a few hours in the morning and then we are headed to northeast MO for the weekend.

The 1st Lady and I have DROPPED from shopping soooo much today. Did we make any decisions??? Nope,......just narrowed down the choices we will have to choose from. GOT to get these decisions made and on order SOON!!!!!!!!

And even with all of this running around today.....

Life IS Great.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!! (Mark H.....I am jealous of your upcoming fishing trip to Canada!!)
