SURPRISE VISIT

                                   It is already a month since my last blog entry.  The time passes so fast for me, because a lot happened in the last 40 days. Actually it was an exciting February for Donna and me, but first  all about my surprise visit.

                                    On Wednesday, January 27th I was informed to pick up Tony Lucero from the airport the next day at 1:30 pm. Since we barely have visitors from out of the state, it was a special treat to have Tony here for a short weekend! It was a great surprise and we had a fantastic time.

Tony arriving at the Lambert international Airport in St Louis.

First things first, Tony is teaching me how to make a perfect 

"Bacardi, soda with a splash of diet coke" drink.

This drink is very refreshing and is Donna's and my favorites ever since.

I fixed a few that night under the watchful eye of the teacher!

Since I had not much time with planing we had to munch on

Carnitas with  tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

I just received a new phone and Tony helped me set it up.

As you see we had a great time

I guess the Bacardi got a little bit out of hand!

St Louis is the proud owner of a tiny Ski area, I would call it a large bunny hill,

only about halve hour from our house. There are 2 ski lifts and also ski rental.

On Friday Tony and I went to check it out

We did not bring the right clothing to go skiing or make a few runs.

Actually it looked much better that I remembered.

Since we could not ski and also the bar was closed (to early)

We decided to try to break the bank in the nearest Casino,

The Ameristar in St Charles.

That night we had quit a good dinner, starting with 

Lobster bisque

Montricher salad

and

Giant broiled pork chops

Recuperating from a busy Friday

we had beautiful sunny weather on Saturday

and as always the time went to fast and Tony had to return to Florida

that evening.

Tony, thank you for coming to see us. We had a great time!
