Yep.........we have returned to our stick/brick after wandering around since this past Monday!!
We left the hotel in Eldon......hotel is not exactly the correct word for it......and went to the Lake for breakfast at Panera Bread. ALWAYS wonderful food.....not matter the time of day!!!! Their pastries are to die for!!!! And, we did!
Leaving there we went to the Outlet Mall and picked up a few more small items for the trip......luggage locks, a shoulder bag for the 1st Lady, etc., etc. Then it was on down the road to my sister's home......
We were there for a couple of hours as we completed the forms for the realty office in Eldon....and then we talked, looked at a few pictures, and exchanged boxes of pictures that we are sorting through. As I have mentioned before......sooooooooooooo many boxes of thousands of pictures which our mother kept....and kept....and kept........and was a joy, and chore, it is to go through all of these and relive the memories of the ones that pertain to us.....and enjoy the ones of generations of our family of many past years!!!
We left there early afternoon and drove to Rolla for a late lunch. Guess where??? HAHAHA.....Panera Bread again........and the "you pick two" was our choice. A GREAT choice as I had a hot panini and a wonderful tomato/onion/mozzarella salad with a great sweet/tart balsamic vinigarette dressing (sp?).
Arrived home around 5pm.......and then the task of unloading the car!!! UGH!!! We had soooo many packages/sacks from our shopping plus our luggage plus all of the boxes of pictures and the box of fresh tomatoes and...and...and................ Then I spent an hour watering flowers and shrubs.......whew.....this is becoming an unwanted chore. NO rain now for at least 5 weeks here.......don't drop you hot match!!
This evening I have been online to Egypt researching private guides for a free afternoon we will have on our return to Cairo from Amman, Jordan. Thought we might hire one for the afternoon to see a few more things before we make the flight back the next day to St Louis. There is soooo much learn and do before November arrives........................but......
Life IS GREAT....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
