September 12

Spectacular Sunday with clear blue skies and 80 degrees.   After 7:00 Mass, Mark, Todd and I left for St. Louis after a quick stop for goodies at Panera.   Yes, we Nomads are back "on the road again"!   We had planned to take Todd to the train station this morning and on home to St. Louis.    Mark said "Well, we could drive down with Todd,  plus get to see our kids!"   Philip, Annette and Ryan were all there for a wedding yesterday.    So, sounded like a no-brainer to me and off we went.

Met the kids at the hotel along with their friends, Jeff and Ryan (female) who were married August 1st.    Those two got engaged on Catrina when they were doing the boat delivery with Philip and Annette last December.   Great to see them again.    We went to "Little Hills" in St. Charles for lunch and sat out on the patio.    Annette told our waitress that Philip had an upcoming birthday (9/21), so she brought him out a mousse parfait that was delicious (he shared like his Mama taught him)!!!

We were there only 1 1/2 hours as Mark started his scuba diving class tonight (5 Sunday evenings) and that started at 5:00.    I drove most of the way home as he was reading the first chapter (100 pages).

Anne called and invited me to join them for ice cream at Gene's.   They picked me up and we enjoyed yummy treats!

  It was a really neat weekend!
