Random Fun

Our little party was fun yesterday afternoon. No photos. Lorela's camera in on the fritz and apparently she believes that I intend to share mine with her as it was nowhere to be found. We had a great time!! Good food...conversation, as you might expect, centered mainly around the goings on at work BUT the Cosmo Punch helped take some of the edge off and we were able to have a few chuckles. No takers on the bikini and speedo challenge.

We did a little shopping today. I talked Hank into going downtown with me and we had a fabulous lunch at Virginia's on King. The Tomato Pie was slap your grandmama delicious. I'm thinking that Virginia's might quickly become one of our new favorites.

After shopping at M Dumas and Sons for some shoes for Hank and Pottery Barn for some drapes for our living and dining rooms, we lugged a suitcase down to Mori in Charleston Place. Hank and I borrowed Legare's large Hartmann when we went to Washington in April and wouldn't you know, US Air RIPPED the handle right off. They weren't even sorry either...not one little bit. Anyhow, they're sending it off to be fixed...I hope we get it back sometime this year.

To top off the afternoon, we headed over to Mt. Pleasant to my favorite store, Gwynn's of Mt. Pleasant. You'll find the link over on my sidebar. Lorelai, who had been at Folly Beach all day, naturally found time to meet me for some shopping. She updated her "look" with some new Laura Mercier and got a FABULOUS pair of Tory Burch Miller Thongs in Poppy Coral. Here's a photo, but in black. The best news is that they were 50% off, today only.







Today is Mother's 81st birthday. We'll go over tomorrow morning and pick up her and Ned for lunch at the farm. They love spaghetti, made with my grandmother's recipe, so I have a pot of sauce simmering on the stove now. I sent this gorgous flower arrangement yesterday afternoon from all of us.


That reminds me...I need to call Legare and remind HIM to call her. Gotta go...

  14. Virginia's on King--yummy! We went there during the Wildlife Expo and I wish we had went back during our quickie trip down last week. Instead we tried Infuzion's on Shem Creek and it didn't meet my expectations.:(

    Love the shoe purchase! Lucky girl!!
