Recovery

I'm beginning to recover from all of the festivities this past week-end. The Rehearsal Dinner for Jan and Robert went well thanks to Sherry's designs and decorations and Sherry, Joann, and Martha helping all night. The BBQ was delicious and everyone loved the "Rock Crawler" cake and Martha's pimiento cheese.
The wedding was wonderful! Jan was beautiful, Robert was handsome,  and the two of them were so obviously happy. The setting, the food, the music, but especially the presence of family and friends made this a great occasion. Robert and Jan are off to South Africa, everyone got home safely - if not easily - and I am ensconced with Sadie and Coda winding down from all the fun.
I was in Gaffney, SC yesterday and while there saw a sign advertising a restaurant called Daddy Joe's. The sign indicated that it was a favorite restaurant of Southern Living Magazine, so , of course, I had to try it. Cute lights - upside down bait buckets. TERRIBLE food!!!! I was told the potato salad, the cole slaw and the hushpuppies were homemade - homemade by SYSCO, I imagine. The ribs were too tough to eat, and the couple of bites I had were tasteless. I'll have to watch what I read  about Southern Living, I guess.
Sadie and Coda are not certain what is happening in their world. Their Mom and Dad are gone and I am a poor substitute. Every time I come in the door, they wait by the back door waiting for Jan or Robert to come in also. They've been good dogs, but really like to hog the bed.
I will leave soon for Myrtle Beach and Wilmington and then back here to hook up my camper and head for a 5 week visit in Austin. Fun times already and more to come!
