Welcome Back to Glass

Goodbye, to another wonderful day! [Amen? AMEN!]

soak it in: beautiful sunset at the end of our cul-de-sac [not our house]

So, Joe's home now, which is a great weight off our minds. He met up with Gerald today in St. Louis for his re-initiation to the world of auto glass; he spent his day getting re-acclimated, and I spent mine doing what I do best at my job [everything! :-p .. ] It was a great day, I must admit!


goggle fun 8-)


I'd been instructed to decide where Joe, Gerald and I would eat dinner - specifically, somewhere really nice. I had a tentative game plan, but that was dashed when they rolled in the driveway around 8pm. In the meantime, Sydni and I took it upon ourselves to have some good old fashioned play time with ordinary things from Mommy & Daddy's closet. This time, Sydni found a pair of goggles, and was quick to fish them out and don them around the house. It took all she had not to throw a hissy once we finally did get moving off to dinner and she had to leave them behind [proud of her for holding it together!]. We found ourselves at Lotawata Creek at 8:30pm, followed by a quick drive-by on a potential new autoglass property, then back home. I'm spent, for sure.

It was wonderful to see Gerald, as short-lived as the visit was; the two of them will be air-bound to Atlanta this time tomorrow to scope out some of the other stores. Praying for travel mercies and productivity! Looks like Syd & I will have a few more days to our own devices ... watch out, ya'll ;)

Eating... All Day.



pegs.

Raise your hand if you've ever done one of those.
Now raise your hand if you've scrambled to start over before you finished, because you knew you would have at least 2 or 3 left over, when the goal is 1.
I may be the only one with two hands up right now, because I'll be the first to admit that, unlike my husband, I am a moron when it comes to these things.
This one was at Crackerbarrel this morning when we stopped in for breakfast. Sydni has about as much fun trying to color with the colored pegs as we did chasing them down after she got frustrated that they were, "broke, " as she called them.

Today was absolutely a good day. It was spent vegging out - I titled this one appropriately, because looking back at today, I feel rather gluttonous. It was all in good fun though; we had breakfast as a family, then spent the day together and headed out again at dinner time to Lotawata Creek for a group dinner with Meagan, Rob, and a handful of Joe's Air Force coworkers.

Now, about Lotawata Creek: There aren't any of these joints in Cincinnati, so this was a new experience for me. Apparently one of their famous trademarks is their portion size. In a comical spirit, I say that this is definitely an American favorite, because the plates here are well over what any single human being would ever need to eat on his/her own.

Examples:



sandwich hiding behind fries

club. club crazy.



attempts to conquer....

We. Are. FULL.
We made it home, got Sydni to bed, and hung out with Meagan and Rob for a short bit before calling it a night. It's church in the AM! :)
