BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!!!!

Nothing more need be said.......it was the nicest day that we have had in Missouri since before the terrible heat of the summer arrived!!!!! Clear blue skies, "just right" temps, and no humitidy made this Saturday exceptional.

We went to St Louis this afternoon following a stop to visit Mike in Bonne Terre. We had to stop at Circuit City for one last free item that came with the 1st Lady's lappie, and before we knew it, we were totally drowning in plasma tv selections......information.......questions and answers......and sales pitches. MUCH research needs to be done on our part if we are to drop the TOOOOOO BIG bucks for one of these units........so.....I have already been doing some internet research this evening. If anyone who has a plasma wishes to give me their personal opinions, PLEASE do so!!!!!!

Then it was off to the furniture stores.............items to ponder: a complete new bedroom grouping, new furniture for the family/entertainment room, and then other odds and ends that will be needed. From there, it was to the appliance stores to look at gas ranges. I/we do not like cooking on an electric stove, so as long as we are remodeling the kitchen with the other parts of the house, perhaps we should just go ahead and get a gas range........hmmmmm,.....BUT, if we get a stainless steel range, then.....what about the fridge and the microwave which are now all white like the electric range??????? Oh my God.........toooooo many dollars!!!!

Sooooo, it will be a busy, argumentative fall and early winter!!!!!!! We will never agree on all of this.......it will be interesting to see how this all plays out..........

By dinner time we decided to overnight at the Moser Estate west of St. Louis........along the Missouri River wine country. So, we are here with the two youngest granddaughters and then tomorrow it will be back to the stores prior to heading to Harrah's(sp?) Casino for dinner with friends and then to see Sinbad in one of the casino shows.

Mr. Gipson and Mrs.-to-be Gipson.....what are your plans for tomorrow?????? Out of range of Verizon service on the Moser Estate.....but call if you are free. Will be leaving here by 10am in the morning........

Sooooo.....a busy weekend............Life is Good......and for you, too, I hope!
