Landrum, NC

Today Sherrie and I went up to Landrum. We stopped in The Hare and Hound for lunch and were able to sit outside on the patio. It was a beautiful afternoon in the 70's. Did some shopping in town, tried to find a new battery for her camera, and then stopped in The Hayrack to pick up some wormer for the horses. Of course The Sadie Lady went with us.

Jeff took us to dinner at the Mexican Restaurant in Chesnee. We spent the time talking about everything we have left to do for tomorrow and decided to trash the idea about driving over to Gatlinburg. Tomorrow night after Ray and Karen get in we're having a bonfire/hotdog roast way down in the back yard near the creek. Also invited the neighbors (Jimmy, Robin, Christy, Brian and all the kids). This will be the first time they have all been down to our place.

Jeff and Sherrie tried hard to convince me it was okay to serve boxed wine down by the bonfire with all the appetizers we're making on Wednesday. It didn't work. I just can't imagine serving boxed wine to the neighbors we just recently met. My plan for a hotdog roast was to get screw off cap wine, which seemed as redneck as the boxed kind. We laughed till we cried arguing the points of boxed wine versus screw off cap wine. Finally they decided they weren't going to convince me and so screw off cap wine is what we're getting and hoping that our first impression on the neighbors is a little less redneck than serving wine in a box!
