We had lunch here as usual on Thanksgiving day. I cooked the turkey, dressing, gravy, and apple crisp; everyone else made all the delicious side dishes & other desserts. I’m pretty sure we all ate way too much – I know I did! Here are Boo & Lesley listening to Elise read the book that […]
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving the kids were out of school, and four of the six grand ones spent the day here. Charlie & Adam got to come & hang out with Mallory & Clara, which was fun, because normally Char & Adam aren’t here that often. We spent the day making crepes. It was literally […]
Tuesday, the last day of school before the kids had Thanksgiving break, was their incentive celebration for Bethany Elementary School – they all wore their Clemson or Carolina gear, & had a big tailgate party outside to celebrate the big game coming up. Our girls are Gamecocks through and through 🙂
Last Sunday I kept the early nursery at our church, but had gotten Sunday school and the second service covered, so we – Charlie & Adam had spent the night after Parents Night Out the evening before – headed to Rock Hill to Woodland UMC, where Elise was singing a duet with her good, good […]

Since I was out of town the weekend before, when we normally would’ve celebrated Lindee’s birthday, we combined hers with Jeff’s on the 15th. She & her girls were here, & Addie & Lee – June & Mason were out of town with Lee’s mom, & Meg & her family. Here they are getting ready […]
These kids do love doing a science experiment. I wish I knew enough about science to explain some of the principles behind the things we do. A week or so ago we made the divers out of straws and clay. Then we put them in a two liter bottle filled with warm water. When you […]
