Wednesday: What a gorgeous day!!!

WHEW.....we were up early and by 8:15 we were on the road, going to Festus for a check-up at my urologist. And, after drinking three bottles of water on the way, as part of the exam that was going to made.........I passed all of the tests 100%!!! Nothing new discovered, plumbing is flowing just fine, and with the previously prescribed meds, I do not need to return until we return from the RGV in Texas next April. (Still can't understand why someone would want to be a Urologist!!!???) In fact, I asked mine today as we joked about several things....and he said that it stems from his childhood when his mother used to say that he was "a pain in the ass"....so, he just continued to follow that thought. HAHAHA!!!!!

After that we drove on to Washington and had lunch at their brand new Panini Bread cafe......one of our very favorite places to eat. And.....we had a great lunch.....WOW. Their new hot panini sandwich with tomatoes and mozzarella with sun-dried tomato pesto on ciabattu (sp?) bread was incredible!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG......was it ever, ever wonderful.....yum, yum!!!

And then following that delicious lunch we went on out to Dr. Jeni and Darrel's home for the remainder of the afternoon and we will be here until tomorrow sometime. We then will go to Monroe City for the weekend.....

OK...I have had a MAJOR computer problem develop in the past hour and I am using the 1st Lady's computer to write this post. A black screen saying that Windows could not open and after trying everything that was on the instructions.......it justs goes around and around saying the same thing and refuses to let me "inside". Sooooo, the worst seems to have happened, as I was expecting for the past week or so. Thankfully, I have saved all of my documents to a cd.....and all of my pictures are saved off of the computer, so as far as everything else, I can replace those things. BUT....the problem now is where the hell do I take it to get some quality work done on it??????? Anyone know of a reputable, quality place in STL?????? THANK GOD we have two laptops and the 1st Lady's works great.....so far! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And so.....our day ends with part of my Life lying helplessly in a little black case/coffin beside my feet. Worse things could have happened.........not nearly as terrible as the way the Goldsmith family has been banned from Meadow Heights Church....which I have written about in the past few days. The day never goes by for me without this incident returning to my mind..........
But........as always, today was a gorgeous day to sit on the deck overlooking the pool at Dr. Jeni and Darrel's home, sipping Fr. Roast coffee and then some Pino Grigio later on, and enjoying the quiet here in the wooded hills not too far from the Missouri River. And, as always........

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

Planet computers in Versailles has been recommended to me, but I have not personally used them. If they are too far for u, maybe he could give u a good recommendation.

I'm glad your "plumbing" has received good marks!

As far as the computer...not sure what the problem is without seeing the screen, but it sounds like something inside has died (i.e. motherboard, controller, etc.). If that's the case, it could be something simple to fix or it could be something that's a pain.

I'm not sure who to recommend. Where did you purchase it? There are lots of PC repair spots in St Louis but I don't know any personally. You could always take to Best Buy, but they are expensive. Let me know what you find out!
