DRIVING HOME FROM ST. LOUIS WAS WILD

DRIVING HOME FROM ST. LOUIS was exhausting as the traffic was dense with semi-trailer trucks and oh so many vehicles on the interstate.  The traffic did not let up for 4 and a half hours.  I am tired as I drove the distance.  We're safely HOME now thanking GOD for the safe trip going and coming back.  We made an emergency trip to St. Louis.

Driving in the traffic affected me and I know I will need to rest.

Coming HOME, the sunset was vibrant with a solid orange ball in the sky for the sun.  It was magnificent.  A huge ball elevated in the sky.  Hubby tried to take pictures to capture the orange sun, but the camera in his phone only captured the ball and not the brilliant orange color.  

We did stop at an ANTIQUE MALL on the way HOME.  I bought a lidded, square serving BLUE WILLOW dish.  She's lovely and I have not ever seen one like it.  Pics later as I am tired and will need to have my hubby send the pics from his phone to my email address where I copy them and then paste them in my post.  More work required than I can mustard up after a 6 hour drive HOME from Missouri.

We also bought a piece of FUDGE at Kingdom City.  I shouldn't have done it, but the Peanut Butter Fudge was screaming at me to take a bite so I didn't resist and will begin again in the morning of mindful eating.  This go round I was brainless and wanted to simply enjoy the sweet savor of a fat piece of fudge in AUGUST instead of December.

We drove out Monday morning and stayed the week.  This week-end will more than likely be a slow paced one as we recover from our week.

With cooler temperatures, I might go walking first thing in the morning if I can.  Not sure if I'll be physically able to do so because I seem frailer than normal.  I will play it by ear.👂

The laundry is staring me in the face.  No sweat.  It'll get done when it gets done.  

When we got back to town, we picked up our mail with a return letter in our mail box.  It was returned to me as it said there was no such street.  When I got HOME, I checked the address I had written on the envelope.  It was correct so I guess they didn't like that I abbreviated  WEST with a W.  That's the only thing I can think of unless someone did not pay their Post Office Box bill and the mail returned to sender address unknown?  I'll resend the card and see what happens.

All my best to you as the week-end is here,
