Springfield, MO trip


My honey at the pool




What a nice time we had!! Went to dinner at Red Lobster... pigged out on Lobster tail, Jim had the seafood feast. VERY GOOD! We stayed in the same hotel as we did 2 years ago. It is close to Battlefield Mall, but we did not go Mall Shopping, as Jim calls it. We got our eyes checked and glasses ordered, then we went to some Warehouse stores. One was for jewelry and handbags the other was clothing. We spent quite a bit of time in the first one... I bought a bunch of jewelry, all cosmetic, but really nice or just plain fun. They had some cool looking bags and handbags too, but since I just bought one from my friend in MI I really didn't need or want another one. We went to the clothing warehouse but it was so busy and way to packed with clothing items. I walked through, saw some comforters that I would have liked and for good prices, too, but, once again, I really didn't need, want or have room for any more comforters. Back at the hotel we sat in the sun, by the pool and went into the jacuzzi. We had planned on going into the 'cuzzi later that evening, but the place was flooded with kids until about 15 minutes before the pool closed, so I took a long bath instead.
We got back home just in time to have Nick tell us that the washing machine would not drain. Jim has already worked on it and decided to order a motor. Cheaper than a new washer, but is still 100.00 and a couple of days of no washer. I just hope that is all that is wrong with it.

  1. Your washer is working NOW. It's just that the motor won't keep working because it can't be repaired. I just oiled it up to work temporarily till the new moter gets here.Do the laundry! LOL
    P.S.....the weekend was fun!

    A few weeks ago my waser wouldnt work drain out..so I looked on the internet...got an idea..took off the front of the washer and saw something white stuck in the pump thingy and turned it till I could get ahold of it and pulled out some material and hooked the hose back up and waaaa laaa...worked..! I was really impressed with myself!!!
    I think as long as your not afraid of breaking something that maybe we can all do a lot of that stuff ourselves..
