Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • This year for Halloween we went to Papa & Gigi’s house. Every year all the neighbors in their cul-de-sac gather together to eat and pass out candy. We’ve always heard about it but have never seen it in action. Sara, Marc, Jacob, Joey & I piled into their truck with our potluck dishes, card table,…

  • My nephew Jacob in his Cub Scout uniform. I asked him all about his patches on his shirt. When we got to the patch of the American flag I said “What’s this one mean?” He said “That’s the Pledge of Allegiance flag.  Aunt Shanny, would you like to buy some popcorn?”  Who could resist that little…

  • CSP’s Mom’s (MIL) birthday was September 18.  We had planned on being in the mountains for the week so we invited her along.  She was really excited to get away from work and get some mountain pug love!  MIL & I are both interested in old churches so I made sure to take her to…

  • While we were in the mountains we had a conversation with my MIL about this Christmas.  We are spending this Christmas day with CSP’s side of the family.  MIL asked what did we think about a Christmas goose for dinner?  I’d only ever heard about Christmas geese in Christmas stories and carols and thought that…

  • There are so many restaurant choices in Las Vegas, it’s enough to make your head spin.  We only made one reservation for dinner before we arrived in Vegas.  We had three other places in mind where we knew we wanted to eat.  Other than that we winged it.  To keep budget friendly we ate a…

  • I just found out that there is a Friendly’s near me!  I go to Friendly’s when I’m up North.  I better go quick to take advantage of this deal! For a limited time (through 8/23), you can get a Friendly’s ice cream cone for under a buck! Yup, just $.99 for your favorite flavor. What…

  • So, what did we do while in the mountains for a week?  We visited the Mast General Store a few times, like we always do.  While driving in and out of the Valle we noticed bunny hutches across from the Mast Farm Inn. So one day we stopped to visit the bunnies. So cute!  They…

  • Yesterday morning we woke up and helped Nanny get her car all packed.  BF (bio father) had driven Nanny up here for the visit.  She’s 86 so she doesn’t drive much anymore.  CSP is not BF’s biggest fan.  I knew CSP was outside taking the pugs potty but he was taking so long.  Nanny was…
