June 18, 2009: A day on-the-go....and a return to the stick/brick.

I slept like the dead last night, but luckily I woke up around 7:30 this morning, finished my morning rituals, and then woke the 1st Lady. About 8:30 we went down to the breakfast room and had an adequate breakfast. As usual, the hotel ran out of muffins, but the waffle maker was never without someone standing and waiting to make a waffle. These were quite good...and we did enjoy them.

By almost 10am, we had checked out....and drove the 15 minutes to my sister's home. And....I was shocked to see how bad she looked......frail is more like the correct word to describe her. But....she has an appt with a specialist for intestinal problems.....so, she is just playing the waiting game. She has lost a lot of weight....and it sure shows.....again, she just looks frail.

After three hours at her home, we didn't want to tire her out more than she already is...and so we departed. We returned to the Outlet Mall for some final shopping decisions....and I decided to purchase a couple of Izod shirts...at a great price!

From there, we went to a couple of more stores to look at patio dining sets....and couldn't find anything like we wanted.....what to do, what to do!!!!????

And then......by 6:30pm, we were unlocking the door to our stick/brick.....a bit tired, but with things to do this evening. It has been a good two days....a very quick two days up to the Lake of the Ozarks and return.....but we did get quite a bit accomplished in several categories....and feel good about all of that. I remain quite worred about my sister.....and will just try to wait out the time until her dr's appt...........

Tomorrow, I have to be in Farmington at the AT&T Store to pick up my new, up-graded iPhone....the 3G S model which comes out to the public tomorrow. As I have already ordered one last week, I can be at the store from 7am to 9am to pick it up.....and I will be. All the reviews I have read give it much higher marks for some needed improvements.....and I am anxious to get it going....and then to enjoy using it. I already have come to depend on the iPhone I have...the 3G....and it is soooo great to have email/internet as I drive down the road. What will the next 10 years bring in the way of communication technology?????!!!!

The heat is ON.....and it remains on HIGH for tomorrow here. But......even with this high heat and humidity.......

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