Living out loud in the Carolinas

Category: family

  • Christmas Eve after CSP got home from work we loaded up our presents in the car and headed out for his parents’ house. The first picture is his parents’ ginormous tree- so pretty! Marsha & Larry were there too (our honorary aunt and uncle). We all had dinner (their traditional oyster stew) then opened presents.…

  • The other day I had to run some errands on Momo’s side of town so I picked her up and brought her along. For those of you who have not met Morgan in real life let me fill you in. She’s 6 feet tall. Gorgeous. Big, beautiful smile. Funny. And wicked smart. Now let me…

  • My aunt Marcia (wife of my Uncle Kevin who cut off his thumb a couple years ago) always sends the most beautiful Christmas cards.  She hand draws gorgeous Winter scenes.  Cardinals in pine trees, poinsettias, etc.  So when my card came in the mail this week I couldn’t wait to see what she came up…

  • Last night we attended my Gmommy’s nursing home’s Christmas party.  There was food, dancing, and music.  There was this sweet old guy wearing a baseball cap.  CSP was wearing his Twins cap(of course) and at one point turned his cap around so he was wearing it backwards.  Then the old guy turned his around too. …

  • Yesterday was CSP’s 37th birthday! My honey and I went out to his parents’ house to celebrate.  I serenaded him with birthday poems and a little bit of “Womanizer” in the car. He was thrilled. Heh. His mom always makes a cake and gives presents within a theme, so on the way out there we were…

  • I’ve got my first Winter cold so I think I’m going to take the lazy way out on this post and use some bullets. Love the new WordPress Dashboard design! The preview to Nothing Like the Holidays bugs me because one of the characters says “They’re conversating.”  Conversate is not a word!  Neither is conversating!…

  • On Black Friday I received a text from Jon’s Aunt (love all our texting relatives!) inviting me to dinner that night with the rest of the gang from Thanksgiving (save Jeff, Tess and their girls as they had already left for Virginia). Well, Uncle Erv was Momo’s 4th grade teacher and they hadn’t seen each…

  • It seems like forever since I’ve been home long enough to blog so I’m behind.  We alternate holidays so this Thanksgiving was spent at Jon’s parents’ house.  CSP had to work in the morning of Thanksgiving.  We met up at the grocery store then drove out to his parents house where all kinds of relatives…

  • Now that Thanksgiving is over (holiday report to come), it’s time to get in the Christmas spirit! Note the new blog header above. My sister has been making my headers since October. Aren’t they cute? She can make one for you too! Go check her out!

  • So, with all those trip report posts, 2 weeks of my life have flown by and not been blogged about.  THE HORROR!  What have I been up to?  Well, I put away all the Halloween decorations, put out all the Thanksgiving decorations, then put away the Thanksgiving decorations.  All in 2 weeks time.  I really…
