WOW....I slept like a log.....guess I was making up for the past couple of nights of tossing and turning and not sleeping. Sure felt better this morning........
After a couple of hours of "getting ready", the 1st Lady and I left for a few days....going first to STL to do some shopping/looking. Again.....another couple of hours of looking and making a list of the models of stainless steel refrigerators that we liked.....and didn't like. With closer inspection of a couple of them, we began to try to decide what we would "give up" and what we would like to have as far as storage goes. Amazing how a couple of the newer models in the GE Profile line have such horrible veggie drawers......no depth in them at all......I do believe it would be impossible to even put a head of lettuce in them......measured at a little over 4" in depth!!!!!! TERRIBLE!!! Then on one of the models you had to open both of the "French doors" all the way to get the "deli drawer" to pull out all the way!!! Poor planning on GE's part. We are wanting the newer three door models with the freezer in the bottom "drawer" which pulls out. BUT.....on some of the models the freezer drawer doesn't pull out as far as some of the other models!!! Go figure!!! Soooooooooo................we didn't buy one today. Still have some positive/negative checklists to go over......
Then we grabbed some Starbuck's......of course, mine was a grande cappuccino....which was not made correctly the first time and I had them remake it......asked for a semi-dry and the one they prepared for me was way overloaded with steamed milk to be called "semi-dry"!!!! I could barely taste the dark coffee!!!!
We had had lunch earlier at Panera Bread........always good!!! I ordered the Panini Chicken with melted cheese and Applewood cured bacon. YUMMMMMYYYYY!!!! Also had the Greek salad which was really crisp and the Feta cheese was outstanding. Great, great lunch!!!! The 1st Lady had Chicken and Noodle Soup and a Classic Salad....which she practicaly inhaled rather than swallow.....hahaha. She was REALLY hungry!
Then, we went through Fenton and picked up Rachel as she is spending the night with us at Dr. Jeni's and Darrels estate southwest of STL about 35 miles. We are celebrating Ava's 3rd birthday this weekend and tomorrow will be her "open the packages" day.....she is soooo excited!! Today was Jay's 31st birthday.......WOW!!!! WHERE has the time gone to????????
The LARGE house in the woods is filled with small children.........Darrel's mother is here from Branson for the birthday....and she brought her two other small granddaughters....one is just two years old...and the other is about one year old. Sooooo, excitement runs supreme here tonight......as I sit here at the bar typing this!!!!!
And so........another day gone........rains coming tomorrow.......and even tho we didn't get a refrig ordered/purchased today........
LIFE IS REALLY GREAT!!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
