Hmmmm, didn't get to write my thoughts last night......my feelings were a bit on the back burner. We spent a busy day in St Louis yesterday(Tues)......and then didn't get home to watch Am. Idol, but thankfully we had TiVo'd it before we left.
This was a kitchen cabinet day.......decided it was time to get our fat rears in gear and take some action on this project issue. So we hit some places that make cabinets in STL and have been doing this type of work for years. We have one that is giving us a bid.....after spending over an hour with him during the early afternoon.
Following that bit of "work", we decided to have a late lunch in the Central West End (CWE). For those of you who don't know this area, it is a neat little part of STL that has several sidewalk cafes, clubs, bars, and a few shops.......less than used to be there a few short years ago.
Anyway.....even if it has a few cafes and coffee shops less, it is a very pleasant area with tree lined walkways, and large outdoor cafes nestled under these trees. We had a great little lunch.....I had tortelini (sp???) made with butter nut squash, herbs, garlic, etc., etc. Interesting....it was sweet, but herby!!! Perhaps it was the squash......it was the same consistency as yams. Not certain I would order this again, but it was a nice surprise and a good change. The 1st Lady had a panini.....which was very tasty and nice and hot!
We then went further north in the city to a very contemporary/modern furniture store, looking for "just the right" bedroom suite, but........they just didn't have what we were quite wanting. Then....haha..of course, we became immersed in the rush hour traffic!!!!!! SOooooooo immersed that we almost drowned, but after about an hour we reached the south part of town and dropped in on Sam's Club........buying way toooo many items, but stocking up TheHowserHouse on wheels for our trip to the Florida panhandle next week.
Came back......and then watched Am. Idol!! Oh well.......I'm not a fan of Taylor, but it appears that he will win this year's competition.......ugh!
Gotta run......have an appt to get the fluids checked/changed in the truck. Don't have it done around here, but up at Doe Run where there is a really good diesel truck place that I have used the last two years.
Sooooo,
Life is Great........and I hope it is for all of you.
