Getting caught up

     Since the last post, there have been a few events...most notably a week long visit from grandson, David, his girlfriend, Jacqui, and our great granddaughter, Brielle. Brielle is newly a teenager but without the usual annoying habits that teenage girls seem to have. They arrived on Sunday afternoon after Cindy and I had left in the morning, so Durelle had to pick them up by herself and bring them to the house. By the time I got home they had moved into their Tuesday-Thursday rental of a beach condo on the Isle of Palms. Here's a couple of shots from their balcony.

     Not too shabby, Dave.

     Meanwhile, back at our house, Dave and his grandmother were convincing themselves that surely not all of those hundreds of brown pods on the magnolia tree could possibly be blossoms. Wrong!!!

     Only a few have opened so far. Here's one of them.

     Is that a perfect magnolia blossom?

     This one almost qualifies as a tradition. Every six months Durelle and I get our teeth cleaned. Since we are done around lunchtime, we are ready to exercise our newly sharpened teeth at a local lunch establishment. Cindy often joins us. Today the favored institution was the "Home Team BBQ" in West Ashley. I had a sliced brisket sandwich with a side of beans that was tasty.

     Durelle had a chopped brisket sandwich with a side of mac 'n cheese which she enjoyed.

     Cindy had some sort of a large burrito which will provide her with several meals.
