Food and Drink in St. Louis

One of the things that is always fun when I visit St. Louis is including food and drink into our activities. Because of my darn stomach it's not nearly as much fun because everything has to be thought through. In other words, "How will I feel after I eat or drink this?" It's a drag but IIWII and I'm making the best of it sometimes choosing to go ahead and eat or drink something knowing I'll have to deal with the consequences.

The first Friday I was there,  Rick, the kid's hockey coach was driving his oldest son and friends to prom in a limo that he owns so he suggested coming by and picking us up to go out for dinner.. We had a really good time.









The next day after Haley's volleyball game Tom, Stacie and I went to El Maquey for late lunch and margaritas.. I knew in advance I wasn't going to get my favorite, Steak Tapatia because of my stomach but they had a really good three enchilada dish with very good sauce and I will definitely have it again before I leave  And the margaritas were very good  





I always make time to go to my favorite St. Louis book store when I visit. It’s a good time to bring my “To Read” book list and replenish my paperback novels. Afterwards I went to Chipotle and got a steak burrito bowl. It was as good as I remembered. I think the last time I had one was either here or in Denver in 2018 or 19. I’m sure it’s in a blog somewhere. 😊

New Mexico with Charlie 🦮

Image
The time in Ruidoso, actually Alto at Ken and Kristi’s was a really nice rest. They always make me feel at home and being dog people they took to Charlie right away. We got there on Saturday afternoon and Kristi took Charlie and I on a golf cart ride to show us around Alto. (I had actually played golf there once many years ago with Paul Crown). Charlie fell in love with their deck and would hang out there by himself.  Sometimes he would just chill in the chair I usually sat in or he would hang with us if we were eating (we ate all our meals on the deck) and watch the animals hang out in the yard. One day we had elk then deer and finally horses.  Sunday they played golf early and I just hung out, relaxed and as I often do worked on tentative trip planning.  When they got back from golf we had lunch and then Kristi and eye took a drive down to Ruidoso Downs to a nursery looking for just the right deer resistant shrub. We didn’t find one but took a drive all through the Down...

Olympic Trials!

Image
The Trials were worth waiting for. The competition was amazing over the ten days with world, national, meet and Hayward Field records. Incredible. I took a lot of pictures because I had a great seat. Obviously I won’t even try to put them all in this post but I did put some of them together in collages.  I was fortunate to get a picture with Canadian 400 meter Olympic hurdler, Sage Watson as well as American Steeple Chaser Emma Coburn. They were both so gracious.  This is a picture that showed up online. It’s a perfect view of my seat. I’m the one with the red shirt and gray head with my hat on my knee. 😂 I was really fortunate that Smitty’s friends, Pete and Lori who live close to the stadium let me park in their driveway every day. I don’t think I could have handled standing in the heat for shuttles coming and going every day. Speaking of heat I didn’t see the events on the last day because when I got there they had just postponed everything because of the heat. It got to ...

Heading Home Early!

Image
When I was sitting in the River Dog with Don in Bullhead City I got a call from Dr. Lonergan’s scheduler wanting me to come in for blood work. I told her I couldn’t make it and she said no problem since I was coming in the next week anyway. That was Friday. Then on Tuesday I got a call from his nurse with the same request so I decided to head back in time to get back Monday for labs. I got the labs and when I saw the doctor two days later he explained that he was just trying to collect more lab data so he could go to the insurance company to possibly get my treatments moved closer together. We’ll see what happens.  We stayed at Spell’s in Denver on Wednesday night and had a nice visit. I had hoped to spend another day in Colorado but 🤷‍♂️ IIWII! The nice thing going home the way we did was it was cooler so we were able to stop more. We stopped in Green River, Wyoming and even got to see a bald eagle on her nest watching one of her babies hang out by the river. It was a good stop. ...
