Our Trip South part 2

Saturday after breakfast, O'Malley wanted to show us where he worked and what he does. This is the modular garage that he built the past few days. He really likes his job, and the people that he works for.
 
This is Abbeyville, SC. I loved this little town, all the cool looking shops, and not to mention the awesome coffee shop.

This hotel just looked neat.

 
Out last trip to Abbeyville on Saturday afternoon.
 
O'Malley's girlfriend has a Mini Horse. Meet Cinnamon! Of course Marie was in heaven, because she got to ride horse while we where there.
Sunday night before we left Marie wanted to set off a Chinese Lantern that we had got at a Fireworks Shop on Friday afternoon. Some of them had never seen one and where amazed as to how far it actually went. They all stood outside until they couldn't see it any longer. It was then time to say goodbye and head back to O'Malley's to get packed and get a few hours of sleep before we headed back home.

Our Trip South

     This past weekend we made a quick trip to SC to visit, O'Malley, his girlfriend and her family. I must say I was really dreading the trip. Being stuck in the vehicle for 11 hours straight, in between Toulouse and Marie, well lets just say wasn't on my list of the funniest things to do!! But I had a couple people praying for us and we made it there safely, and back home. I didn't even have to do any of the driving. Berlioz and Hubs did all of it. My best friend text me when we got home and wondered why I didn't text her while we were driving for 22 hrs. (She really don't understand my anxiety about the whole driving long distance) :-(
     We arrived on Friday at 11:15am, unloaded and chilled for a little till O'Malley had lunch ready for us. He made Fish, deep fried shrimp, mashed potatoes (instant), and mixed vegetables. For dessert he made Slutty Brownies, they were very, very good. Guess he is doing a good job and holding his own. We hadn't seen O'Malley since the very beginning of September, so it was just nice to be able to chill and visit. Hubs and I took a walk down below O'Malley's place and came across this little pond.



This house was farther back the lane and we didn't want to go back for fear of trespassing.
