I took a little road trip today with my sister to NC to check out some stores. Another trip to Ollie's and some more great little finds. As we were driving back home, we noticed strong winds & dark skies. All afternoon the winds howled & blew but we never got any bad weather.
My Aunt Willie came over to the house. It was nice to see her, and we had a good visit. She loves to read just as much as I do so we exchange books from time to time. She is my dad's sister.
Hunkered down for the night at moms and it looks like a "homemade popcorn & Coke Zero night"

Today I met with a high school friend, Betty Samuels, for lunch at River's Edge. Since our high school graduation we have only seen each other once. We had the best time chatting about everything...just trying to "catch up" with each other's family news. We spent over 2 hours together... so much fun. Lots of memories!
(forgot to take a picture...talking so much
so I swiped her pic from her FB page)
Mom & I were planning to eat at the new restaurant over in R'ham tonight. She was having her telephone lines checked today, and during the check he discovered that mom had a leak under the house. No eat out tonight.
My cousin came & took care of the leak problem, and we dined on "refrig foods".

Fairmont...here we come! My aunt loves QVC, and there were two outlet stores where we went to shop. We left & traveled to Lumberston to shop at the WPP Outlet and to eat lunch at Cracker Barrell.
After lunch we traveled towards L'burg to stop at ReStore. Each of us found new items. I was excited to find two framed golf pictures for Glenn's office at home.
-leaving L'burg ReStore-
Home again, settled down eating a sandwich, watching the news...before sleep. It's been a long day.
2.5.15.....
Hangin' around the house & doing a little exploring. Mom knew of a box of hats in one of the eaves upstairs. We found the box as well as other boxes that she had forgotten about. We had packed items years & years ago. One with items from the beach house, one with glass/decorative items and four boxes of books. Mom was styling the hats for me.
Tonight we are going to R'ham to try the new seafood restaurant. My aunt joined us, and we had a great time. Our food was delicious & the service was good...we'll be back. We even made a few side trips to Ollie's (yes, my third trip so far) & WM.

Another lazy morning...then we were off to run a few errands, gas up the car & get to mother's hair appt before the afternoon was gone.gone.gone.
My sister & brother with their spouses came over tonight to eat dinner with mom & me. We grilled burgers & hot dogs and had fried & banana pudding. Yum!!!
From the exploring in the eaves yesterday morning mom wanted all the items left out for each of us to look & choose what we wanted. It was kinda fun as we looked & talked about what we remembered about some of the items.

I mentioned last night that I might ride over to R'ham to their ReStore today & also to our town's library book sale. After waking up this morning I choose to hang around the house. My brother called & asked if I wanted to ride to Aberdeen so we drove up to the ReStore to look around. I found a beautiful framed Palmetto Tree...to remind me of my home state. Also found a small angel wearing a cap & holding a golf club...Saint Birdie. Someone's junk is another's treasure.
My cousin John took mom & me out for dinner tonight. Each of us choose something different at Pizza Time. I love pizza so you know my choice of eats. It was so good. We enjoyed ourselves and had a very nice time.
2.8.15.....
Left this morning around 7:30 EST for AL. Sure had a good time seeing family, long lost friends & my Bville church family. Stopped by Joe's house to leave a basket of goodies & then headed toward ATL where I was hoping to see my nieces & to give them a few surprise gifts. My timing was completely off today as I missed Joe & the girls. Anyway...left their surprises for them.
Home Sweet Home...and really happy to see my hubby.
