Here is some Pics from our little ride of Columbia, SC on Sunday

Sunday John came home from work and said he wanted to take a ride. We headed South and ended up in Columbia, SC. Here is some highlights on our trip! Enjoy the ride!


As we drove away from Charlotte and headed towards Columbia, SC we crossed over the Catawba River. The picture doesn't do it justice, it looked beautiful!



This was a beautiful bed and breakfast in Columbia on a wonderful street of old homes. They were all lovely!


This is the Mann-Simons House in Columbia. Celia Mann, a slave who acquired her freedom in Charleston, walked to Columbia and purchased this cottage in around 1850. Celia and her descendents owned the house until 1970.


We drove down this street that was like driving down the small curving streets of San Francisco. This is a new house that was built to look like an old home. It was beautiful!


Another lovely old home in Columbia, SC.


This was one of the first houses we saw. I love the witches hat by the porch!


Here is a pedestrian bridge we drove under in Columbia, SC.

John and I were married 30 years ago today! I just don't know where the time has gone. We have 2 beautiful children, Megan (28 yrs. old) and Jennifer (26 yrs. old). Here is a picture of John and I on our wedding day. Remember this was 1979 and guys wore crazy color tuxes! Don't you just love my hat!!



Jennifer, our youngest daughter was married last year in August also and she wore my wedding dress minus the hat-LOL!!

What a nice weekend!

I had a really great weekend! It started out on Friday night with a pedicure with Megan and Kaitlyn from work. Saturday I slept a little late and then had my haircut. After that I came home and cleaned the whole townhouse. I made a really nice dinner for John and I when he got home from work. We watched some TV and chatted. Sunday I got up a little late again and proceeded to have a nice breakfast, read a little, and then I made some earrings. Not as many as I would like but some. I will be making more this week. I put 2 of the copper earrings on etsy.com. If you would like to take a peek, I'm under cherylmcdermitt1. John had to work until 3:30 yesterday and when he came home he wanted to take a little ride. So we drove South and ended up in Columbia, SC. We saw some really nice older homes, which I took pics of. I'll be posting them tonight. I love old houses they all have so much history behind them. We headed back home (we live about 1 hr. 20 mins. away). We had a nice dinner of spaghetti and meatballs and then chilled out for the rest of the night. What a perfect weekend!!

Showing off my new haircut!

Yesterday I went to my daughter, Megan's hair salon. The one I was going to was really nice and very close to my house but the layers the hairstylist was putting in my hair was just too blunt and sharp. I asked her about 3 times to blend it in and she didn't. So off to try this new salon and hairstylist. I love Tammy!! She knew exactly what I wanted and she said I can grow my hair longer if I put alot of layers in it to take out the bulk I've got! I have exceptionally thick hair. She texturized, she cut, she shaped and presto chango here is my new do! I love it. It also takes less time to dry, so the mornings getting ready for work will go quicker! Thank you Tammy!! Off to make earrings and rings! Everyone have a great weekend!
