Yesterday morning.....Friday.....we were up and on the road by 8:45 .......going to Cape Girardeau for the 1st Lady's optometrist appointment....to get new glasses. But first....we drove around a few minutes more to look at the wind/tornado damage in our area of town. Trees down, limbs down, trash everywhere on the streets......such a mess. We were just damn lucky....think our neighbor's house to the immediate south of us protected our homes, both stick and brick and on wheels, from the most serious winds.
Arriving in Cape around 10, the 1st Lady was in the eye check-up room for almost an hour....while I went down the mall to Barnes & Noble to get a cappuccino.....wonderful. The 1st Lady's eyes were dilated and so she couldn't see just yet to begin the arduous task of picking out frames, so we drove over to Applebee's for lunch: the pick two selections sounded the best and they were!!
Then back to the LensCrafters and she spent until almost 2pm picking out frames for her regular glasses and then for her prescription sunglasses. After she FINALLY made the selections, we headed south for a visit with Michael for a few hours. Then it was back to Cape and to our daughter-in-law's to spend the night.
Today....the 1st Lady and our granddaughter Rachel spent the morning together while I went to the parade downtown.....the Southeast Missouri State University Homecoming parade. Well......what a disappointment!!!! Only six or seven high school bands plus the SEMO Marching Band......and the best one was without a doubt, Cape Girardeau Central HS's band. No competition here.......and that is most likely why they have so few bands participating in the parade. F'town's high school band was in it.......and well, I believe that I will not speak about this to the world and cyberspace. I was very surprised at how few students were in the band.......perhaps the word should be shocked. Enough said......
When I returned to the house, the 1st Lady was back and we had a bit of shopping to do. It very quickly became evident that we were not going to be able to make the wedding in Farmington that we had planned to attend. Felt really bad, but it just couldn't be helped with the tight schedule we had today. DAMN!!!! We still had to go to Sam's Club.....and then we had to return to LensCrafters as my glasses needed some adjustments so that it they would stay on my nose in the correct spot for my eyes!
And....back on the road we went.....returning to F'town. And since then.......it has been hectic. Still not been able to get my Tivo to call and download the programs for the next two weeks........not certain how to get this done......seems like some internal problems between the phone connection and the machine or with the Tivo's mind!! Tomorrow.......
And so......another couple of damned busy days........ugh!!!!! But.........
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!

I checked out KFVS 12 site on the coverage of SEMO parade and saw the footage of the Blackcat band. I thought it was just my math that was off but obviously it wasn't. I was a little shocked by the lack of numbers. Not to mention that the flag corps had a few problems. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PRIDE OF FREDERICKTOWN?
Well on the bright side it looks like we finally have a good football team.
