The 1st Lady, her mother, and I went in to Hannibal this morning as her mother needed to do some grocery shopping while she had some one here to drive her there. She is legally blind....and rightfully so.....she can barely see a tiny bit of movement out of the corner of her eye.....sitting at a 90 degree angle to the television in order to see just a sliver of it.
They let me out at the Quality Inn and Suites.....and I spent the next 1.5 hours in the lobby using their "free wifi" from the hotel. And that is how I have been able to post these past three days......but tonight, I am sitting in our hotel room in Eldon, and it has free wifi in all of the rooms.
We returned to Monroe City, had lunch, and then the 1st Lady and I headed south to Eldon and the Lake Ozarks. We went quickly to the realty office and signed the paperwork that is necessary to get it listed. Then we were off to the Lake and the infamous Outlet Mall there. We shopped for several hours, picking up a few good bargains. They are oftentimes difficult to locate, but I did find a few things that qualify as "Bargains!". Bought a couple of pairs of new tennis shoes.......one to use on the trip to Egypt and the other one to put away until needed in the future. At one for full price and the other one for 1/2 price......the bill happily came to just a few coins less than $100 for both pairs!
We returned to Eldon and the little hotel room we had reserved. Clean....very clean, but small, however it has great cable tv with over 100 stations and, most importantly, free wifi. We had to drive through a horrendous rain storm returning to Eldon as more than 2 inches fell in Osage Beach, and probably here in Eldon. What a HUGE change to be driving is such a rain storm!!!
Tomorrow.......it is up for grabs! We will go down to my sister's home south of Osage Beach.....as she has to sign the paperwork for the listing of the house. And then??? Well, we may drive back up to Dr. Jeni and Darrel's estate and spend the rest of the weekend with them..........we'll see......
A good day.......and without a doubt.....
LIFE IS GREAT!!!! ........and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
