Lu Lu and Gwennie

This weekend was pretty packed with activities. Saturday, the asbestos people came by to remove some old steam heat pipe from the 30's under the house. It was pretty funny, they told us it was completely safe to be there because they encapsulate the pipes before removing them. We had lofty plans of leaving beforehand and heading down th Lu Lu and Bill's house in Spartanburg. We should have realized that nothing is quick with a baby. By the time we had the dogs, baby, Nana Sus and ourselves in the car they were long gone! So we still decided to head down anyhow for a change of pace. We stopped in Gaffney, SC at the Pottery Barn Outlet.....big mistake! We ended up buying a sofa for the new place and a rug for Gwennie's room. Which meant a trip back on Sunday with a U-haul in tow. And today...2 more rugs and a chair...50% off is a sweet deal though!

When we got to Lu Lu's we had a nice day of lounging around the house, catching up and dining on Sugar 'n Spice Cheeseburgers-A-Plenty and Sweet Tea. For the non-Sparkle City folks reading this...A-Plenty means with slaw, french fries and onion rings. Really...the only good thing for you on the plate is the lettuce and tomato (which is optional...Corbin, Susan and Lynne opted out of the veggies and went for mustard and slaw on the burger. Something I still can't understand but it's a southern thing and is standard at these places - like a regular coffee at D & D - cream and sugar).
