Before I start on the road trip, I just have to post this photo of our beautiful baby Kate in her cute little dress mom Casey smocked for her! Isn't she just precious? I cannot wait two weeks for her to come visit -- well, and Casey and John too!I just returned from a road trip to South Carolina for a few days to visit my brother's family and see my nephew Graham graduate from high school. I took my mom, and then we met up with Anna in Montgomery (she was on her way back from a week at the beach). Anna drove the rest of way once we got to Georgia (thank you Anna!) -- I HATE driving through Atlanta! Eight lanes of traffic with people buzzing all around me -- it makes me a nervous wreck! I love our little two-stop-light town! The only thing between me and work is a four-way stop!
While waiting on Anna in Montgomery, I stopped at Rooms To Go (thanks Mary Tyler for the suggestion)! Just wanted to check out the Cindy Crawford sofa I found on the Internet. Well, with a little help from my mom and Anna (she totally dissed my choice of chair, said it was too 'hotel lobby') -- I ended up buying the sofa, which I totally love, and a reclining chair in blues, greens and cream. Didn't find slipper chairs to go with them, but I'm looking on Overstock.com! I can't wait to get my furniture in a couple of weeks! Haven't told Stacy yet, though, so shhhhhhh!
Actually I haven't seen him since I left on Sunday. He left the day I got home to take three of his FFA students to the State Convention in Auburn! They're having a big time and will be home tomorrow.
So, I digress! Getting back to the road trip! We ate out Sun. nite and I had some excellent fried catfish and huspuppies! Mon. nite, they had a ceremony for Graham to receive his Boy Scout Eagle Scout degree. Very proud of him! That's quite an accomplishment -- and his dad (my brother Walker) and his brother Charles both are Eagle Scouts. Walker smoked some great ribs for dinner afterwards and we all enjoyed some time with their friends and Frances' family!
Then on Tues. nite Graham graduated -- in a huge class of over 600 -- in 1-1/2 hours! What a change from our little 50-member classes here! It's a very nice new school in Spartanburg County. And they were very strict about yelling out during the announcement of the names, which they needed to, and escorted out several detractors! I think that should be done here too -- it should be a dignified ceremony for all.
On the way home, we stopped at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort in Braselton, Georgia, for a tour and "wine tasting." They weren't making wine that day, but it was interesting to see how they do it. It is very beautiful there -- would love to go back to the spa sometime! Maybe we can do that as a "girls" trip sometime -- or we could take the guys and let them play golf while we "spa"!! Thanks Walker and Frances for your hospitality -- and the great BBQ!
