A good nights sleep in the new 4th bedroom at Dr. Jeni's home......and I was up before anyone else. Planning on that, I quietly left the bedrom in the lower level and went upstairs to the great room and made some.......Folger's coffee....hmmmm!
The morning went quickly.......VERY, VERY windy with storms and heavy rains predicted for today and tomorrow.....ugh. Misery has returned..........I took a couple of hours off and went into Washington to do some shopping at Lowe's, their new Super Walmart, and have a quick bite of lunch.
Returning out into the gorgeous countryside around Washington where Dr. Jeni and Darrel have their wonderful home sitting a very wooded five acres.......I relaxed on the deck and just enjoyed the warm, warm temps brought in by the Texas-size winds. We all decided to go into town for dinner.......and ate at Applebee's. Orderin the fried shrimp dinner.....I was really surprised to see 18 medium shrimp on my plate, a large serving of french fries, and some great creamy slaw.......can you believe it....18 SHRIMP. I was not all that hungry, but managed to get all of these crunchy little critters stowed safely away deep inside my evolving body.......all for $11.95 or some sort of change like that. I also had their Perfect Margarita......yep....that is a great drink.......sooooo damn smooth!!!!! I could have let slide down really quite quickly, but didn't dare as I was driving back to the house. The one thing about this drink......it is at the very least two completely fill margarita glasses full of this wonder concoction.....as they bring it to the table in the chilled shaker....and it certainly gives a hefty drink for the $7 and change!!!!! Highly recommended!!!!!
Back to their home in the woods.......the storms began to approach....and Washington and the surrounding area went under a Tornado WARNING about 6:30 or soooo........and then the winds died completely down to an hushed silence to say the least.....a bit nerve-wracking as May 8th of last year still lies in the front of my mind to surface quickly on evenings such as this! But......we missed any tornadic activity around here.....just some heavy rains.
Tomorrow is the 5th birthday party for Ava....and it will be at some "play place" in STL that is strictly for smaller children. Soooo, we will all journey into the city with the birthday cake and spend two hours their for the little ones to enjoy to the max!!!!!! And speaking of Max.......I'm sure he will really have fun there!
And sooooo, another day ends.....and, hopefully the evening has smoothed out as far as storms go........we are keeping a radar site online open all evening and checking it closely as there are no storm warning towers out this far from Washington.
LIFE IS REALLY REALLY GREAT!!!!!!....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
