Hey all, we're back from vacation. Actually we were back a week ago but you know how the post-vacation crazies are - what a week! 


Vacation was wonderful, LOVED Charleston. SO & I have a pact - if anyone ever gives us a wining lottery ticket (since we don't buy them ourselves it would have to be given to us LOL) we will buy one of those wonderful historic (million + $) homes and move to Charleston LOL. We walked, we saw, we ate lol. We both agreed our favorite was the Charleston Museum - spent over 2 hours there and didn't get to see half of it. Unfortunately, closing time forced us out and we never did get to finish seeing the rest. We took the boat tour to Fort Sumter, a carriage ride around town, walked for miles, saw so much history and visited i don't even remember how many sites and museums. The one thing we Didn't do is eat the seafood we wanted. Every evening when the museums closed we would go back to the hotel (which was also wonderful) "for a rest" - and 3 of the 4 nights never ventured back out LOL. The one night we planned on actually going to eat, it was raining so we went to the nearest restaurant, across the street lol.


So for our first 2 meals back home, we had grilled tilapia, and a crawfish chowder lol. Katie spent 2 days at the vet getting all her shots, a much-needed bath, and spayed - and cleaning out my checking account in the process. But she is doing great, a few hours after she got home she was out in the pasture running and playing with the calf.


Hopefully later this weekend I can get caught up on all (or most) of the posts I missed, but for now it's time to attack this dirty house! Hope you all are having a wonderful, sunny weekend!!!

That's the kind of vacation I enjoy.
I love to go & see everything; not much for just sitting around.

Hi Jill and welcome back! I see I was remiss in welcoming you to the "garden" way back in January when you first signed on. Sorry about that.

I love Charleston too. Our Ladybug group (from this board) went there a couple years ago and rented a beach house on Isle of Palm. It was a wonderful trip and I'd love to go back and see everything we missed. There just wasn't enough time to see and do everything. I'm with you...if I somehow every come into a billion dollars...that's where I'm plopping down forever!!! I just fell in love with it. So glad you enjoyed it.

Glad Katie survived you being gone.
