Spring Break - Trip to Missouri and Virginia

Sunday: We made it to Cape Girardeau (13 hour drive) and checked into our downtown hotel, Courtyard by Marriott. We had dinner across the street (and three blocks closer to the river) at Minglewood Brewery.

Inside café at the Courtyard hotel:

Monday: Met with Kaci, talked about our burial plans, visited with Ben (and Bill was there) and "Aunt" Linda.

Visiting Ben:

"Aunt" Linda; always nice seeing her!

Tuesday drove to Abingdon, VA (long drive due to construction delays of over an hour). Stayed in Jim's friend's home (is on AirBNB), Sharlene and David Warren, called River Barn, just two miles from Jim's home. We enjoyed a dinner of snacks - a charcuterie board. So many cheeses, hard meats, breads, fruit, pickles, etc. They showed us to the vacation home and we had a great nights sleep.

Wednesday. Separate post for March 16th.
Thursday: Drove home to Fleming Island, picked up Ginger from Carolyn's home.

Friday: AA had a golf lesson, I worked, and caught up with chores and laundry. We were told by Kathy that Hugh broke his hip last Saturday night, had hip replacement surgery and is in rehab. He seems to be doing well.

We were told by Bryan that he has accepted a job at Fleming Island Golf Course as EH is cutting/reducing the time youth can play in the development programs (PGA Jr. teams, Operation 36, etc.).
Saturday: Drove to Justin's to drop off Kilee's birthday gift. I cooked corned beef and cabbage for dinner.

Went to RH happy hour with Kathy and Maureen. I made a mini-chartoterie board (not very successful, hard to transport and set-up).

Beautiful amaryllis in full bloom:

Sunday: I worked for a couple of hours.

AA went to the OP Mall, met with OJH friends Angel Zheng (Ridgeview HS) and Kevin Taing (FIHS).

AA had a golf session with Coach Bryan.

I roasted turkey breasts, made mashed potatoes, had Larry B. over for dinner. Delicious!

Larry always brings great wine:
