A Typical Day in St. Louis

So many of you are asking us...........what are you doing that is taking so much time? And actually , we are asking ourselves the same questions.

So, here is what we did on Monday of this week..........

We started the day with our coffee, 2 cups, and reading the newspaper. We are always a day behind since we purchase the USA Today in the afternoon and read it the following day.
Barb walked to the shower house to shower and I worked on a few projects that had to be completed here in the motorhome. Had to clean the filter for the a/c............that required removing the filter cover, washing the filter and the waiting for it to dry. While doing that , I defrosted the refrigerator freezer. That involves placing hot water in the freezer and waiting until it melts the built up ice on the walls. Had to make hot water in the coffee maker to melt all of the ice build up we had. These two tasks took about an hour. Not hard work, but it does take time.
Then I did my shower/sponge bath here in the rig.
Okay, by now it is 11:00 am and we drove to Illinois to visit with my sister for a bit. We drove an hour to get there, had a short visit, drove an hour back to St. Louis.
I had a dentist appointment at 2:30 and we made it back just in time. Barb waited in the parking lot and made some phone calls.
Appointment last an hour and then we drove back to the Babler. Arrived about 4:30. We had an hour to relax.........I read my motorhome magazines and Barb played poker on the internet.
Had to leave by 5:30 to meet a friend from high school for dinner. We had a great visit and caught up on our lives and families. She is a really wonderful person. We talked until almost 8:00.
Arrived back home by 8:30, watched the news that had been taped from earlier in the day, made the coffee for the next day and were ready for bed by 10:00 pm.

We had a great day, but it was busy. We feel very fortunate and blessed that we are both healthy and happy and can enjoy whatever we are doing. We wish all of you health, happiness and peace in your lives. And hope the future brings goodness to you.

Love and hugs,
Linda and Barb
