Hmmmmm.......this morning was not the restful, relaxing morning that I usually have been experiencing.....drinking my Fr. Roast coffee on the patio, reading the major newspapers from the country, and enjoying the day's beginning. Instead......it was hurry, hurry, hurry as we tried to get everything ready to leave no later than 10am......birthday presents loaded, some semi-dress clothes for Meghan's music program tonight, and enough things to do us until we return late this weekend. Did we do it???? NOPE.....just as it was 10AM...the sacred departure time...the 1st Lady discovered that her tiny little case where she carries her driver's license, some cash, and a credit card.....was missing! Yep......and she could NOT find the damn thing. Soooo, I went through the trash bags in the trash container in the garage, we went through the dirty laundry, I searched the Buick, I searched the truck,.....we looked everywhere......and just as she was about to give it up, she found them in a jacket that she forgot she had worn this week!!! DAMN, but it is HELL to get older and discover that the short term memory loss so often discussed has become a reality!
She had a 10:30 appt for a Dr.'s checkup in Farmington.....sooo, we were late for that. And, from that time on.......we were running behind on our self-made schedule for the afternoon. We had planned to look in STL for a couple of pieces of furniture....however, that wasn't possible. We finally arrived in Washington and on to Dr. Jeni's home by 4pm. WHEW.......what a day!!!
Dr. Jeni's mother-in-law arrived about an hour after we got there....and by 6pm, we had everyone loaded and on the way to the elementary school out here in the countryside for Meghan's spring music program. Luckily......Dr. Jeni and Darrel had attended the fund-raising auction for the elementary school sometime this winter.....where the liquor flows freely...literally....and by the time the auction begins, everyone is in a wonderful mood to purchase items at the auction......GREAT idea for making money....right?????!!!!! Soooo, they bid on six front row seats for tonight's program.....paid a small fortune for them, but it was all for a great cause....the elementary school!!! Soooo, we didn't have to rush and arrive an hour and a half early to get decend seats in the gym......Dr. Jeni/Darrel's last name was on the chairs, as well as having a reserved parking space right in front of the school.
The program was great!!!!! And, Meghan is soooo musical and rhythmic....such a great little dancer!!!! Soooo much fun she has.....and then soooo much fun WE have watching her!!!!! She steals the show.....everytime!
Back at their home by 7:30......the evening was not quite and reserved, not with soooo many kids and people in the house for the weekend!!! A loud weekend is expected....haha!!!
I didn't mention about seeing Darrel and Dr. Jeni's new custom-built motorhome which they just picked up in Nashville, TN a couple of weeks ago. It is one of those units that is on a heavy duty truck frame with a regular heavy duty cab, motor, etc. WOW.....is it ever beautiful....and it will be great for pulling his LONG trailer with two race cars in it to the various races over the summer season!!!! Just sooooo well made......and soooo beautiful with marble tiled floors which are heated floors, all cherry wood solid cabinets...LOTS of them.....four flat screen tv's, surround sound throughout the three rooms in the coach part, as well as recessed lighting throughout, leather sofas, king sized bed, just gorgeous!!!!! A great way to travel to races....or, anywhere for that matter!!!!!!! They designed it in Nashville, and then continued to run down there every 3-4 weeks to check on the progress and check on their design ideas to see if they were being constructed and detailed correctly.........WOW!!!!!!
And sooooo, a busy day......VERY busy day......but, as usual......
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
