Oh yeah.........another day of dreary weather.........and while I know we should be thankful we are not in the single digit weather of Misery, we are looking forward to the return of warm and sunny weather......tomorrow, we hope!
Today......after my French Roast coffee.....and after the 1st Lady returned from the gym, we decided to go to Harlingen for lunch.....and a movie. Sooooo, by noon we were sitting in The Lone Star Restaurant.....and not the "chain" one which is on Business 83 just to the west of Harlingen. This is a locally owned restaurant and has a completely different menu and style. And........the onion rings, not the onion loaf, are to die for!!!! OHHH SOOO GOOD!!! We then shared a large hamburger and after an hour with this nice and relaxed lunch, we moved on into town and made a quick trip into Wal-Mart and then to Office Depot. Then........
It was across the street to the CineMark......and we were soon in one of the theaters to see...."Juno". An Oscar nominated best film for this year.......we were anxious to see it. And.....while I do not call this a real Oscar winner.....it was a fun movie, with some very great lines in it!!! It was enjoyable......and was not a movie that was overly intense with drama. Yep.....I am glad we saw it!!!
Returning to WalMart for a purchase, we bought a wireless router for TheHowserHouse. Returning to our home on wheels, I began the task of setting it up for both of our lappies. And......I was able to get one lappie online wirelessly and then the other lappie would not be able to connect. Then it go in reverse!!!! Soooooo, after two hours of calling to the other side of the world THREE times to the support for this brand.......we finally got it installed.....I hope!!! It is NOT fast....and I am not certain I am going to keep it.......a Belkin brand. Hmmmmm........our D-Link at the stick and brick runs circles around this one.....and it is not even a new model!!!
What to do? What to do? Think I may go buy another brand and see how it runs for us.....and then return the one that is the weakest. The speed is just toooooo damn slow for some reason as we are just sitting four feet from the router's antenna!!!!!!!!!!!!
And sooooo, after taking a phone call from Dr. Jeni, Darrel, and Meghan....it was good to hear from them. They flew from STL out to Breckenridge, CO yesterday evening for a long weekend of skiing...returning to STL on Monday evening. This is Meg's first ski trip....and she is enrolled for three days in a ski school for young ones.....and I hear that she LOVED it today!! She got to name their skiing group.....and she was then elected the leader.....haha! Anyway...they did come down the mountain for the first time this afternoon......and she kept wanting to go faster than the group was allowed to do. They will then leave two weeks later to go on a cruise for a week......on the Mexican side of the Gulf....another first for Meghan and, this time Ava will also go with them.
And so......we are sitting here in front of the fireplace..........and thinking positively about some good weather for the weekend, hoping that out thoughts will help to generate some better days! Nevertheless..........
LIFE IS REALLY GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
