SUBJECT: Pan, pot and broken handles
The handles fell off my pan and pot.
Well, the handle fell off my pan over 15 years ago, but the pot handle just fell off today.
I sent a message with the picture to the manufacturer as they are suppose to have a lifetime warranty. Couldn’t hurt to ask, right?
Turns out they DO have a lifetime warranty. I am to receive a replacement pan and pot in the mail in about 2 weeks.
That is awesome customer service!

SUBJECT: My leftover lunch
Between her classes at SIUE today, DramaQueen picked up lunch and delivered it to me at work.
I stowed my leftovers in the new 2nd floor refrigerator to enjoy again for lunch tomorrow.
I hope I can locate them in the chaos.

SUBJECT: Looking up the North Leg of the Gateway Arch
Today was the school parade and picnic for our school district. I really don't like going to the picnic, ride tickets were $1.75 each and I didn't feel like spending $35 on tickets to be divided among the three kids. So I made a proposal to them, they could be excused from the parade and not go to the picnic, but instead, I would take them over to St. Louis and we'd do something there. They were agreeable to this. Our first stop was the Anheuser-Busch complex. My kids love "How It's Made" so we decided that the complimentary tour of the brewery would be a neat thing to do. On the tour, we saw some of the Clydesdale horses, their stable, the beechwood aging cellars that each hold 3,600 barrels of beer, the brew house and finally, the bottling and packaging facility. After the tour was over, we each got a bag of pretzels and I was able to sample a complimentary adult beverage (score!), while the kids received soda and water. Alas, I was not carded. Darn.
Then we headed to the riverfront and the Gateway Arch. I haven't been up in the Arch since December 1990 when Iben Browning predicted a 50% chance of an earthquake along the New Madrid fault. HandsomeHusband and I had gone up the Arch, the Sunday before it was suppose to happen. We wanted to be in the group that was at the top of the Arch if it did occur. It didn't. (We did have an earthquake occur in our area last year around this time!) DramaQueen and MonkeyBoy had been up in the Arch before with HH, but this was StellaDella's first time. She loved it. "I can't believe I was in the tippy top of the Arch Mom!" I just wish it there was more wind. I love feeling it sway when you are at the top.
Finally, we went to my hairdressers where everyone received a haircut, myself included! A long, but fun day.
