Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • After I uploaded my recent Valle Crucis pictures to flickr I looked for a Valle Crucis flickr group.  There wasn’t one so I started one.  We’re already up to 11 members. I love looking at my favorite spot through other peoples’ eyes. If you’ve ever visited VC & have pics, please join our group and…

  • While we were in Valle Crucis Papa took us to visit a friend of his who’d just built a palace house.  OMG it was amazing.  It’s available for rent. It has this amazing wrap around porch that I swear is bigger than my house.  We toured the house then sat out on the porch and…

  • 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…

  • I found the best little surprise in my mail the other day…these adorable note cards made by Sandy! I love them! Sandy, you totally need to sell the awesome cards you make! I’m such a sucker for note cards and stationary, especially cute ones like these!  Thank you so much Sandy!

  • Final story from the family visit.  So, the night of the big dinner party I was busy cooking when Sara asked me for a phone book.  I pointed to the cabinet where we keep them and went back to cooking. All the sudden I hear GASP! “I’m gonna tell Nanny what you keep with your…

  • 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…

  • Momo & I took Zoe to the nursing home to visit Gmommy.  Zoe ran up to the door and got all excited.  As we neared the door we saw why: Of all the days I bring my tiny pug they have some huge dog there!  He was eyeing Zoe like she was a snack.  Luckily…

  • Papa & Gigi went to Arizona for a little anniversary getaway last week. While in Sedona they stayed in a swanky resort where at breakfast one morning they spotted Vince Vaughn! He was apparently in deep conversation. Gigi snuck out to the patio where my Vince was enjoying breakfast with 3 other people. Gigi said…

  • Today Momo & I painted faces for the Chantilly Flutterfest.  Three and a half hours of non stop little faces in our chairs asking for rainbows, hearts, and most surprisingly, snakes.  I swear I’ve never painted so many snakes!  My favorite request was a little girl who wanted me to paint a self portrait on…

  • Papa & Gigi converted their pool to salt water a couple months ago, just in time for the warm weather.  I tried it out on Mother’s Day.  Morgan, Mom & I swam for just over 2 hours.  The difference between the chlorinated pool and the salt water pool is just amazing! Cons: the initial cost…
