407 days to go......

WOW......what a dreary, drizzly day!!!! We went into STL around noon....about 45 minutes from here in the Sunday traffic. We spent some time at Chesterfield Commons, ate at O'Charley's and then drove up out of the valley to the Chesterfield Mall. Dr. Jeni spent some time looking for gifts for her office workers.....all 10 of them....and made some decisions about what to purchase for them. Won't reveal anything here......

Then the rest of the afternoon was spent taking Santa Claus pictures at the mall, shopping, shopping, waiting, shopping, waiting.....etc., etc., We returned to Dr. Jeni and Darrel's estate about 8pm.......and now it is hurry, hurry to get the girls in bed.

Nothing new from here since this morning.......so won't bore you with useless patter from this sagging old hulk. The weather has not improved very much.....and the predictions don't look much better, either. Oh well.......it IS that time of the year here in the state of Misery.

However...................

LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
