Today for breakfast I made grits. Yes, Quaker's enriched white hominy, cooks in about 5 minutes, smooth and creamy grits! It was a tasty way to start another busy day. Brad enjoyed it as he would his Cream of Wheat - with brown sugar, milk and raspberries but as for me, I ate mine the way Jennefer fixed them in Charleston - with butter, salt and pepper, yum! Got me thinking about that wonderful May trip to the beautiful state of South Carolina with Mom and Livona to visit Jen. A girl's trip!
We had the greatest time...
- looking for alligators in the ponds (saw none -darn it!)
- eating pecan pralines
- touring around Historic Charleston
- dipping our toes in the Atlantic
- eating the BEST fish and chips
- attending church and Relief Society Conference
- taking walks along the beautiful trails by the Ashley River
- driving to Kingstree to lookup old family records at the court house
- shopping at a random Piggly Wiggly! and eating banana puddin' and black beans and rice
- eating Charleston Chews (and thinking of Dad)
- visiting Boone Hall Plantation
- seeing endless/gorgeous trees and greenery that South Carolina has to offer
- talking, laughing, reminiscing, laughing, talking and...sleeping :)
- Bert and Jen are gracious and entertaining hosts - the best
Maybe (if my dratted computer will allow) I will post pics of this fun - what wonderful memories were made!
Loves, Colleen
