We have packed quite a bit into a couple of days here. Mom came home early, on Thursday. She just left a little under an hour ago, and as soon as she pulled out, Susan pulled in!
We went to Myrtle Beach on Saturday to hang out with Andrew. After noshing at GB and getting caffeinated at Starbucks, we headed out to do some window shopping. Then Andrew & I got our hair done. After that, we went to Broadway at the Beach, where we had another carousel ride and ate at Chicago UNO. Unfortunately, not impressive. Long wait, messed-up orders. Luckily, we had our little entertainer keeping us laughing and making funny faces & gestures. After we were through there, we went back to Market Common to get the ice cream mom had been chanting about all day, from Cold Stone. Then, with an exhausted Kiersten, we headed back to Columbus County. Poor thing didn't get to bed till about 11:30, and we followed shortly!
Sunday was much more local. Stayed in Whiteville to run a few more errands, and mom found a Dora slip & slide. Once that was set up, after a little prodding, she was off! I'm going to try to include the video. Too hilarious!
We have a countdown to the end of the year, of course, and to the (hopefully) imminent haul to the mountains. We move mom out of her apartment in Coats in a few weeks. To paraphrase Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the furniture we'll move!"
We sound like fatties, eh? We ate, then we ate, then we ate, then we ate . . . now Ricky is really convinced. Mom just wanted to avoid a wet hug at this point, I think.
