SD had a couple of appointments today, so I took the day off.
Late breakfasts are the best.

PLACE: School
SUBJECT: Slime making table
It was reading night at StellaDella’s school.
The kids made glow-in-the-dark slime.
Played Cosmic bingo.
Had story time.
And picked out a book to take home.
They took their slime home too.

PLACE: Kitchen
SUBJECT: Cough & Cold medicine
Besides homework, the first days of school never fail to bring home some sort of cold/virus with them. SD has a stuffy nose and a slight cough. Here’s hoping the over the counter medicine will be enough to make her feel better.
“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals.“

PLACE: Grade school
SUBJECT: WE *heart* USA
There were all sorts of remembrances for today’s 9-11 anniversary. This is how StellaDella’s grade school remembered. (It’s odd to think that more than half of the current student body were not even glimmers in their parent’s eyes on that day.) One thing I do remember about that day is how the nation came together as one. There were no Democrats or Republications, no liberals or conservatives, no right, no left…we were all just Americans.
As it should be.

PLACE: Ted Drewes on Old Route 66, St. Louis, MO
SUBJECT: A Heath Bar & hot fudge custard concrete
I managed to shower and get ready this morning and the HandsomeHusband drove me to the office so I could work for a few hours. Then, my wonderful beautician, Carol squeezed me in between early afternoon appointments and cut my hair so I can style it without needing two hands to do so. When I returned home, I took a Percocet and a nap until suppertime. After we ate, HH drove us over to Ted Drewes for some frozen custard for dessert. I’ve an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon on Monday morning *sigh*, I’m quite sure surgery is in my future.
