The 1st Lady and I were up and going by 7:30 this morning......morning rituals, packed, and left town around 10:30am for the 200 mile drive up to the Lake of the Ozarks. We made on pit stop just outside of Rolla and then arrived in Eldon, north of the Lake around 2pm. Our mission there was to visit the cemetary and put some Christmas flowers on my parents' grave and our daughter's grave(she died quite unexpectedly at 8 years of age).
After those few moments in the very brittle cold, we then drove back down to the Lake and went to the Osage Outlet Mall. We were there about an hour and a half, and did find some very, very good bargains. Example: Geoffrey Beene(sp????) clothing store is closing down and everything that was left was 80% off!!! Yep......I bought a couple of items that I couldn't pass up....a $45 shirt for just over $10......now that's a BARGAIN!!
Before long, it was time to meet my sister and husband at Outback for dinner. We had a great meal and a wonderful two hour visit there. We just don't seem to find the time to get together very often.......both of us are involved in our own activities.....and we need to correct that problem before time moves any quicker!!!
We left the Lake around 7pm and in two hours of rapid, but legal, driving we were at Dr. Jeni's home. And...........for the second time, it appears that Meghan's Christmas play will be postponed again!!!!! From what we can read online, there will be no school there AGAIN!!!! She had already gone to bed when we learned of this, and I know she will be sooooooo disappointed!!!! Hopefully, it will be presented on Friday as we can hang around here an extra day so that we can see her "debut performance" in a play!
I am currently attempting to get some updates and downloads done for Dr. Jeni on a laptop pc that has been giving her many problems ever since she purchased it. It has been back in the shop once, but the "shutdown" problems continue, so I am downloading some solutions(??) hopefully from HP, so time will tell.........and with my LUCK(????????????????), it won't work. Don't forget......this sagging hulk of Me is very, very technically challenged........just remember the past 3-4 weeks with the new AT&T landlines, the new internet service providers, and finally the problems with the Directv!!!!
Freezing rain is predicted for here.....about 35 miles west/southwest of STL.....so guess that is why her school has been cancelled for tomorrow.....UGH.
As it is now midnight, my shrinking bones are tired, and so I will close this little post now and hopefully Dr. Jeni's laptop will finish with the downloads soon!!!! Even though the weather continues to be just really crappy..........I do still believe that.....
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
