Tour of the Lawless South Day 4 We started the day by jumping in the car with Sara and Jake and driving 90 miles for lunch. We had lunch at the famous Shealy’s barbque and it was fabulous as always. It was fun trying to explain some of the Southern dishes to the girls, like…

Tour of the Lawless South Day 3 Another fun filled day in the South. Today we started out by having lunch at Captain Steve’s. We were able to meet the Captain and he’s a bit younger than I pictured. But it was very good. Plus, they have malt vinegar there and there’s nothing better than…

Tour of the Lawless South Day 2 Today we went to lunch at Tam’s Tavern, then shopped a little at the SC shop, World Market, ULTA and SteinMart. Then we met up with my Mom and tried unsuccessfully to set Lisa up with a 40 year old recovering paraplegic in high pants sporting sausage nipples.…

Tour of the Lawless South Day 1 Rachel and Lisa got in last night just before dinner. They taught me how to knit (I’m picking it up pretty quickly) and we had fun just hanging out last night. Today we slept in a bit, went to lunch at an Italian buffet (where the girls had…

Be Our Guests Today I’m in a mad race to finish getting the house ready for Rachel and Lisa. We did finish the guest room the other day. I think it turned out great (after some trial and error with the stripes colors). Before we bought the house this room was shared by 2 girls.…

Dips & Flowers Ike had to get dipped at the vet yesterday. He has a skin condition. So when I picked him up the vet sends him out in a cone so he won’t lick the medicine and make himself sick. So cute!! In other news, I received the most beautiful flowers from Stef yesterday!…

Not a girl, not yet a woman Today is my little sister Morgan’s birthday. She’s 14 years old. She’s 5 feet 10 inches tall, poised, so sweet, funny, beautiful, and totally has her head on her shoulders. I just love that child so much. We had game night at my mom’s and had a big…

Man, that’s some big fruit. Jon and I ran some errands today (my first outing since the hospital) and we stopped into Sam’s to pick up some goods. While there we saw the cantaloupe display. Those things are huge. I will never look at them the same way again. Pity too, because they are one…

Unlovable? Last week I took Kea to the vet (4.04 lbs!) and then we stopped off at the library. I carried her in sort of up on my shoulder. She didn’t move a bit, nor did she make a sound. I went in, dropped off my books, handed my card to the lady, she rang…

A much more pleasant photo today The other day Jenny posted about painting pug paws on pottery and it reminded me that I forgot to post the finished product of Kea’s work. We painted a Christmas ornament for both Ike and Kea that are stored with the other Christmas things, but we also painted coasters…
