Hank is on a shrimping expedition, so Lorelai and I larked out for King Street this afternoon for a little shopping. Retail therapy aside, it was one of the most beautiful afternoons weather-wise that we have had in ages. Sunny, no humidity, a light breeze blowing...a real blessing after some of the wretched hot and humid days in recent memory.I learned the hard way that if shopping for myself, I need to go it alone. If Lor goes, then it is a given that it is going to be all about her...don't tell her, but it's fun for me either way. We walked and talked and she found a couple of outfits and a pair of shoes. Afterwards, we enjoyed an early dinner at High Cotton and headed back home. Since she managed to work the Clemson system to her advantage this semester, she doesn't have any Monday OR Friday classes, so she gets to enjoy a long weekends EVERY weekend. I'm deeply and profoundly jealous.
Hope that your weekend was a good one...
It was a gorgeous day in the Lowcountry! I am a High Cotton lover too! Glad you guys had fun!
ReplyDeleteMy college student daughter was home this weekend too! We did a lot of shopping and eating as well and like you the shopping was all about her....but I am not complaining! It was a fun weekend. Glad yours was so much fun too!
ReplyDeleteYour shopping trip and the lovely Autumn day sound wonderful. Hope you enjoy a great week.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday readings. I've been an absent blogger and blog reader the past few weeks. Your day of shopping sounds lovely. Isn't it great to have NO HUMIDITY????
ReplyDeleteIt must have been the weekend for mother/daughter shopping trips! Cait was home this weekend, and yes we went shopping! Looks like you had beautiful weather. We had loads of rain, but I am NOT complaining! Glad you had a nice time with Lor. Kathy
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a better place to have been today than on King Street. I bet it was gorgeous. It was so humid it was almost unbearable when we there in August.
ReplyDeleteHigh Cotton sounds wonderful too! I am jealous.
PD was home this weekend, too, but very little shopping fun for us. We did a little bit on Friday afternoon!! Saturday, we were watching our Vols lose to Auburn. Such a sad day ;-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect way to spend the day!

I am so jealous of your shopping expedition, but I know what you mean...I have two twentysomething daughters, and when shopping with them it's definitely all about them. Although I don't mind because things always look so adorable on them and on me....not so much.
ReplyDeleteMy number 2 daughter is on Fall break at GT and after coming home to see her brother as an escort for Homecoming, she jetted off to NYC for the long weekend.
We lucked out with the weather for homecoming weekend because now....more rain. Sigh.
No, no, no, I was hoping Lorelai was only interested in shopping for you. Then I could have shown my daughter, who mysteriously tires whenever I ask her to enter a store in hopes of me buying something, this post, and instilled some guilt. Darn it!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh...
ReplyDeleteperfection!! shopping and girls lunch! wonderful!
belle, i am getting SO excited about moving back! your blog makes me eternally happy, i am already dreaming of next fall... :)
What a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon! i remember my last year of school I had the same schedule. I wish I still had that!
ReplyDeleteThe weather sounded fabulous, the town awesome, and shopping at a store called "High Cotton" sounds sooooo Southern!
ReplyDeleteExcuse me...dinner at a place called "High Cotton" sounds soooo Southern!
