Yesterday Al andI took Mom to Dierbergs to do some shopping, and then we went to her apartment for a tasty lunch. We made ham and turkey sandwiches and sipped iced tea and chatted about many things. Mom was a little tired after the big party on Sunday night, so we left soon after lunch to give her a chance to rest and relax.
Al, Pete, Barbara Bauer, and I had a wonderful evening in Kirkwood. We met at Pete's new apartment around six, and enjoyed a drink as we sat at his small bar beside the kitchen. In some ways, it's quite a fancy apartment, with spacious rooms and high ceilings and many of the latest household features. It was a comfortable place to partake of a drink with old friends and new (Barbara). Later, we walked down the street to PJs, a local eatery and tavern, where we laughed and chatted for several hours. The food was acceptable, but the conversation and friendship was of the blue-ribbon type. Around eight, we walked back to our cars in the freshly cool St. Louis summer air.
This morning Al, Mom, and I enjoyed a bagel breakfast down at Einsteins in Old Orchard. I think Mom especially enjoyed herself as she chewed a blueberry bagel and sipped two cups of coffee with half-and-half. At noon, Al and I joined Maura for a delightful lunch in Forest Park at the Boat House. We sat right on the lagoon under an umbrella, enjoying the pleasant breeze off the water and watching the small boats taking their passengers peacefully around.
