Day 48

Sundermeier RV Park, St. Charles, MO:  It's been 48 days since we've been home. Still no permit to fix our house. The contractor says they're going to dismantle the deck and what's left of the concrete foundation regardless of no permit. We'll see where that goes. In the meantime we're dealing with cold weather again. Fortunately, last Friday was a beautiful day and we took the bikes out on the Katy Trail. We went east this time, passing a few parks at first, including a really nice dog park. Then before long we were really out in the country, with fallow fields on our left and lush forest on our right. We could now smell the river--and the wonderful smell of honeysuckle...mmmm. After our ride we sat outside reading for a while. It was nice to have a warm day for a change, albeit short lived. Today the high was 58. The rest of the week will only be in the 60s. Can't last too much longer, right?

Getting ready to make margaritas for our Mexican dinner with Laurie and Tim.

Ready for our bike ride. Lovely, eh?
