Now you could also download those books via ADE; go to the Kobo website and then "My Library". In the "I'm Reading" section you will see all the books you have, and the Delver books will have the option next to them "Adobe DRM EPUB". Clicking on the buttons for those three books will download three "ACSM" files that when opened will use "Adobe Digital Edition" (ADE) on your PC to download the three ePubs to your PC.

These you can just sync via ADE to your Kobo Touch, or add them to Calibre and sync them from there. Since they still DO contain DRM you will not be able to use all the Calibre features to manage them.
hmmm I am intrigued by your mention of loading them via calibre? Does that mean even though Calibere can not decode them due to drm, that we could add the covers if they are gone missing? Btw thanks for your advice I will be exploring the options you mention. I like to have the covers showing when The unit is off or sleeping so people can see what I am reading. So a blank book with no title or graphic cover is hurting my eyes lol
