Today, Benee and I took advantage of the wonderful weather (76 degrees) by going to the James Island County Park Rock Wall. Both of us hadn't been climbing in a while but were anxious to get going. I got a couple of pictures of Benee on the wall but my stupid cell phone ate the picture of me (have I mentioned that I hate my phone lately?). Anyway - we had a blast and worked up a nice "glow". We'll definitely be back.

Just finished the last of the lights. Now we are in the Spirit.

Wendy and I went to the Carolina Open Second Annual Car show on Sunday. There was a Southern bell competition that had a seasonal flair. While the show was put on by Cripple Dog Customs, Our favorite cars were well restored classics.





Yes, I know this one is not a classic. It is one of my favorites.

This car had a variety interesting features. The paint job on the hood and intake. Then there are small spikes that run the length of the car.

These are a few of the Customs.

Our Christmas tree...we have officially caught the spirit.

Our mantel decorated for Christmas.

A group of us went to the Darius Rucker concert at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center last night (Friday the 5th). We were invited to the "after party" that was held at the NCPAC when the concert was over. The concert was terrific! Darius sang all of his songs from his new album..Learn to Live...and a few others. The NCPAC was packed and by the end of the night, almost everyone was on their feet singing. It was a great night. Here are a few pictures but only one of Darius performing. I was too busy singing to worry about taking pictures. :-)

Wendy and I had Thanksgiving Dinner with Friends. As always the food was great and we enjoyed being with Friends.

After a great meal all we could do is get comfortable.

Our new bedside lamps (we bought two) that we got from the Quoizel light sale.

Home from the groomers and just too tired to do anything but nap at mom's feet.

Uncle Tommy, Aunt Icey and Thomas took Don and I shrimping on Saturday night. Don and I have never been. In the pictures below, you'll see us making the bait balls, practicing casting the shrimp net and the sun going down. The weather was windy and a bit rough when we started out but it calmed down dramatically after sunset. Don and I had a great time and were pleased with the shrimp that we caught. We may go again tonight. :-)
