true story: trip post #3

By this point in our journey, we are back in St. Louis, at my mom's house. We arrived fairly late in the evening, and stopped to get Chris and Randy a few White Castle cheeseburgers for a late night supper :) We slept good Sunday night and slept in a little on Monday morning.

After lazing around a bit, we headed toward St. Peters. After lunch at St. Louis Bread Co., we then went for an afternoon visit with my Olender grandparents. It was so good to chat with them!! And then we got down to business...my grandma got a laptop!!! :) That excites me so!! However, she really had no idea what to do with it, so Chris and I spent a few hours going over the basics with her. I took notes for her and Chris set up things that I don't know how to do. From there, we showed her how to use her new cordless mouse, how to navigate on the internet, how to work her new email account. After some practice, I know that she will be flying around the wild world of internet :)

Chris being the perfect teacher...and the perfect white haired student!

It's official, she has a Yahoo!! :)

From there, we drove to O'Fallon for a wonderful evening visit with the Repps!! We met at Madeline's (?? Madisons?? Hmmm...) for a yummy dinner. My toasted ravioli was delicious! It was so nice to chat with everyone and get caught up. After we ate, we headed back to their house for dessert and a relaxing time watching the Cardinal playoff game. We chatted some more, looked at a few scrapbook albums, and watched the Cardinals. Just perfect!! And of course, before leaving, we took a good round of photos!!
