Hi everybody
We just got home a few hours ago. We went to Fort Madison, which is on the Mississippi. It was a great time. We stayed in a beautiful B&B that is filled with antiques, the room was beautiful and had a nice view of the river. There were roses in the room, candles, silk flowers everywhere and beads. The jacuzzi was surrounded with flowers and candles. Then a bottle of spumanti and chocolates was brought to the room later. There is an excellent restaurant downstairs and we went there for supper. They had a great Valentines Day dinner. Salad was fried shrimp and marinated chicken screwers over a bed of mixed greens, then the entree was a choice of different meals, I chose the herb encrusted prime rib, with carmelized mushrooms and onions, green beans and some kind of potato that was just the best stuff I've ever had. It was loaded with cheese, cream and who knows what. Followed by a glass of spumanti, a chocolate cake and cinnamon cookie that was very good and then coffee amaretto that was extra delicious. In the morning, we had breakfast in the tea room (it is just so pretty in there. DH feels like he's eating in a museum and can't relax, but I love the place). They served a wonderful quiche, fruits, different kinds of cakes and breads. I have to have gained 10 lbs in the last 2 days, but it was wonderful. We walked by the river this morning, the temperature was still a nice 50 degrees and sunny. After walking about 4 miles, we stopped in a local bakery and had some delicious blueberry muffins and coffee. It was a relaxing and special way to spend our anniversay. Even so, we are glad to be home again. We were lucky, the weather was nice. Tonight, there is suppose to be freezing rain and a new cold front coming in, so it couldn't have been better timing for us.
Ali, that sounds like a lot more for hair color. I use to go and have mine done and it was getting higher and higher. So, I started to do it myself. But, I don't highlight, that would be hard to do yourself I bet.
Anne, I am sorry to hear about your stuff getting lost. You just got that camera too. I didn't watch much tv, but I don't usually anyway. We were car shopping while we went down the highway, looking for a cheap car for my daughter. It looks like it's going to be hard to find something in our price range that is in good shape, doesn't smell (her request), mechanically sound, etc.
Rae, a big congratulations on your weight loss
That's terrific. As you can see from what I wrote about above, I will have no weight loss to report. But, I'm getting back to my routine exercise in the morning and back on track as far as my eating goes tomorrow too. I will not let this little bit of side tracked behavior change my life or make me give up. I just decided that for this time, I was going to let loose.
Lynn, I miss you and hope your ok.
I'm beat. Talk to you all tomorrow, Nikki
