Exploring Edwardsville

We woke up today to find that Joe’s wound hadn’t really started healing yet, so he resigned himself to an earned day of R&R here at the house. I would dare anyone after today to challenge him at Wii cornhole [because we don’t play enough of that in real life] or any of the games on the original Wii Sports. He invested himself in going pro at all of them today.

wii sports :)  

I decided to run some errands and then do some exploring. I dropped off yet another bin of random stuff at the Salvation Army and then headed north a bit towards Edwardsville, IL. I have a meeting later this week with the owners of that Express office; I wanted to be sure I could manage finding it via GPS. I was successful on the first attempt, which was reassuring, so I headed back towards home.

stinkin' ice cube trays!



One more stop and I was done. Or so I thought. What I hadn’t counted on is that apparently either nobody uses standard ice cube trays anymore, or I and the 6 combined sales associates I asked are all blind, because it took 4 different stops before I could track them down. It’s funny how we found ourselves with about 9 of these things at our old house, and now hunting like fools for just 2.

Mission accomplished. I headed back home to find Joe perfecting his form at Wii Cornhole and joined in for a few rounds.

Tomorrow = Joe getting his last two wisdom teeth removed.

Let’s pray hard for no dry sockets!
