20161118: St Charles

Two words to the wise: 1) the weatherman isn't always right,  2) God is always right - it is just up to us to trust that. 

We knew from the weather report that we wouldn't have a beautiful day like yesterday. It was supposed to be rainy in the morning and clear and in the low 60s this afternoon. With that information our day was planned with laundry and resting in the morning. That happened. 

The morning started about 60 degrees and dry - while we were in. We left about noon to go to a Brazilian restaurant we heard about yesterday. Just before we left it started raining. The lunch was good and different. As we were finishing it started pouring. We actually sat in the restaurant just waiting until the rain subsided some. It is now 54 degrees and windy. 

We were going to old town St Charles that borders the Missouri River. There is a nice park with a walking path plus an 8 block of brick streets (not the best to drive on), cute shops and historic buildings. It started pouring again. We did drive some but no venturing out of the car. It is now 52 and very windy. 

We went and got a few groceries and went back to the room. We had a nice afternoon of reading and resting. Not what we planned but we adapted. We are happy and well.
