Oct 24, 2009: WHEW......busy two days!!

OMG, but where doe these damn days go????? Yep.....they seem to just fade away in a hurry....just like I am doing.....fading away in a hurry, except this sagging hulk of Me doesn't fade tooooo easily!!!!

Yesterday......After some coffee and moring talk with Mac and Gail.....by the way, did I explain that they are staying in their motorhome where they have all of their clothes, things, and their own beds!!! I totally understand.....as we feel that way about staying in our 5th wheel whenever we are staying some place. NO luggage to haul around, no clothes to carry in and out of some one's house!!!!

Anyway......the 1st Lady and I went down to visit with Mike for a couple of hours, and then by the time we returned it was time for dinner, soooooooooo we went to the Olympic Steakhouse here in the city center of F'town. They have very good catfish.....all you can eat....on Friday evenings...and we did eat lots of fish!!!! Very good.....and we had fun with our server....she was soooo good!!!

Then from there we drove out to Sue/Dave's for dessert at their home. Of course, we stayed and stayed....and talked and talked.....and ate some incredible apple pie!!! WOW, she can really cook those desserts!!!!! Home we went.....and fell into bed before long after arriving in our driveway!!!

SATURDAY(today):

Up and going earlier than usual, we left about 9:45 for STL......and a visit to the Gate Arch. This was the first time that Mac/Gail had gone to the top.....and it was a good experience for all of us!!!! Returning to the ground, we then took in the movie about Lewis and Clark making their historic and exciting trip up the rivers to the Pacific Ocean!!! A wonderful 45 minute movie with great photography and some wonderful background music!!!! Really enjoyed it on the HUGE screen.

Then we took in the museum.....and OMG, OMG!!!! I was sooooooo damned impressed with this newly opened museum!!!!!! YOU MUST GO THERE......and plan to spend quite a while in the museum.......just a wonderful work of art it is itself!!!

The weather was beautiful....barely a cloud in the sky....and the view from the top was spectacular.......and the walk to and from the parking area was wonderful in the yellow colored leaves. Returning to F'town......I fixed some steaks, the 1st Lady did the baked potatoes and wonderful salad....and we had a good meal. Tomorrow they must head further west, with Casa Grande, Arizona, their final destination.

It has been a wonderful few days together!!!!!! We blend so well as friends.....and we go back soooo many years......soooo many events/remembrances we have shared!! Really hate to see them drive away!!!

And....soooo, after a beautiful day....and a great visit with our friends..........

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