Dave, Mo, Jenna (with her beignets) and Jen Hen When we arrived on Friday, it was Jennifer's birthday. Her lovely husband got her this lovely sheet cake (LOVE sheet cake!) from Publix, the grocery store that is Jen's current South Carolina obsession! (Dave's is the Piggly Wiggly, to which he refers with great affection as simply "The Pig.")

How often can you catch the Horse and buggy tour rounding the corner at the same time as a classic car like this one? And the tires match the house! Love it.

Love it!
Our host and hostess.... and Sugar Daddies, as it turns out! They treated!
The food was phenomenal! And everything was a platter! That's my kind of dinner.

When we got home, we went casual. This is Jen getting into Facebook.

Jenna and her Grits
Dave, before his "Big Nasty" arrived. No, I'm not being dirty; that was the name of the dish he ordered.
Dave had to go to work (BUMMER) but we girls headed to the Beach on Sullivan's Island. This picture is for my brother Bill, who believes wholeheartedly that Metal Detector Man is the LOWEST form of man in existance today. (You should get Bill started on this, seriously ... it's hilarious. Also ask him about glutin allergies.)
The sand was so hard, some people were riding bikes. It was a gorgeous day, so we took a long walk and entered into some deep conversation. 
We laughed at this ... HARD. Jenna found - count them! - FIVE bags of chips in Jen's pantry! Each one had about 4 chips in the bottom. What happened here???? We had a Potato Chip / Tostito Intervention and made her toss them out. Not before Jenna ate the remains of a couple of bags, which she insisted weren't stale. If you say so!!
On Sunday before Jenna and Mo headed out, we Skyped with Padma, who couldn't come down. Pretty funny how girls weekends can be over the Internet nowadays!Happy Halloween, everyone!!
Love,
Aunt Crazy

That looks like SOOO much fun! My Mom is the same way about chips. She'll leave 3 chips in the bottom of the bag and save it FOREVER... I do an intervention about once a few months, too.
AND... for Bill. Ok, I have to defend the metal detector guy. Matt has one and he and the kids LOVE to take it into the woods to "treasure hunt".... Ok, so sure they haven't actually FOUND actual treasure, but they have tons of fun digging up bottle caps, old quarters and probably bullets, which I don't wanna know the story behind. Come on, it's for the kids!! :)
I knew you were going to get me on those chips! :) I wonder now why there's so much more space in my pantry--hee hee! These photos are awesome. I had SO much fun!! I'm with Jenny on the metal detectors...sometimes they can be fun. Dave's Dad has one and we find all kinds of things in the woods behind his house.
Okie dokie ... I will use your arguments to try to turn him around on the whole Metal Detector Man situation this weekend when I visit him in San Diego!
