Our Days

Arrived in Desloge on Tuesday; time is passing slowly.  Our days are spent doing needle work (not me!) and messing with the computer (that's me).  We make a couple of trips daily to Farmington to visit Donna's dad, who, by the way, is doing very well.  He's supposed to spend another 4-5 weeks undergoing therapy, and he's bound to be stir-crazy by then.  The surgeon's office wants to see him 2 weeks after surgery, so scheduling problems have created next Monday as the visit.  That doctor is 1.5 hours away in St. Louis - we expect the long trip and various walks to create a very tiring and stressful day for both Donna's mom and pop.  We're not quite sure why the surgeon has to see him this early in his recovery process.

We ARE taking a vacation in St. Louis.  Donna's Aunt will take our place in Desloge from noon on Friday til noon on Sunday.  Wow, two nights at a Marriott!  And, I don't mean one of their lower quality chains (like Courtyard, Fairfield, etc.), but the real thing.  We plan to get an Italian dinner fix that has been missing for several years - the problem is, which one do we go to????  A book store visit is in order, and possibly a couple of women's clothing stores (oh, joy).
