Barbecue and Wild Turkeys

Lise and I enjoyed being with David at Haywood Smokehouse, the barbecue place with my favorite sauce, Raspberry Chipotle. Lise’s exclamation was that she couldn’t believe she was here for over a week before having her first meal of barbecue. I’m sure she thought it was worth waiting for. We’ve already planned to go to the nearest BBQ place next week.

After having our fill of wonderful meat with the sauce of our choice, we had dessert. Lise chose peach cobbler, while David opted for chocolate pecan bourbon pie. They let me have a taste of each, which was all I wanted.

Lise spotted wild turkeys, perhaps 10 of them, on the way home from walking to the stop sign. We were too far away to see them clearly, but she took a quick photo. This shows them marching down the road, heading back into the woods.

Visiting South Carolina Relatives

Niece Chrissie and Chris drove from their new home in Utah to a relative’s birthday party in Kentucky. The next day they picked me up before noon, and we went to a town near Charleston to see Chrissie’s parents, Chris and Steve. We hadn’t even left my neighborhood when we had an exciting surprise. A flock of wild turkeys crossed the road. I had never seen so many at once, and Chrissie counted nine while snapping a photo of them. I think I can see six in the picture.

On the highway, I nestled into the large seat and enjoyed chatting while watching the scenery slide by. The back seat arrangement is different from any I’ve seen before. An armrest divides the space into one large seat and one quite small one. I felt like a queen, ready to wave to the crowds.

Steve treated us to dinner at an Asian restaurant. Three of us had sushi, and oh! how good it was!

As we relaxed later, Chrissie caught all the seniors on their phones.
