Happy Anniversary!!!

43 years -- boy that went fast!!! 

Tonight at dinner we agreed to re-up for another year.  Actually, neither one of us hestitated.  We continue to drive each other crazy and love it.

On our way to St. Louis, we stopped at the Mark Twain Museum in Hannibal  which we missed yesterday.  We wanted to see the original Normal Rockwell paintings.  There was a charcoal sketch next to each one.  We had no idea that artists first sketched what they were going to paint.

Also stopped at a Dam & Lock on the Mississippi River -- one of many and had a nice chat with a member of the Army Corp of Engineers.

Arriving in West St. Louis, we had time to take a quick spin around Forest Park and stretched our legs for a bit.  It seemed almost as large as Central Park with a zoo, art gallery, and municipal theater inside its gates.  Joan always loves to see the leash law signs.

Had a declious dinner "on the hill" at Lorenzo's -- seemed to be the Little Italy of St. Louis.  Even the fire hydrants were red, white and green and the Italian flag was on all the lamp posts.
