We had a good weekend with Mamaw and Papaw. We showed them around the area including the farmer's market which was particularly nice. C was like a kid in a candy store with all of the pumpkins and gourds for sale :) We bought a pumpkin, a white pumpkin, a bag of decorative gourds, two mums, and apples (for pie).
Last weekend, we went to the Georgia game in Athens. We stayed Friday night in Anderson, SC and had dinner with old friends. It was nice to catch up. Saturday morning we woke up early and headed to Athens. The campus wasn't quite as nice as I'd hoped, but the stadium was huge. We were very high up and neglected to wear sunscreen. So on top of watching State play a horrible game, our faces got burned up. After the game, we stayed the night at the Omni in downtown Charlotte which was very luxurious (C got a good deal on PriceLine for the room which we were both excited about). We treated ourselves to room service since we got such a good deal on the room. Sunday we went out for brunch and shopped for a bit and then headed back home. Overall, it was a good weekend.
We are heading for the mountains on the 21st for the weekend but until then it should be life as usual. C is at Girl's Night with the girls from church. Hopefully she will be back soon :)
Football note: So far this football season has been amazingly disappointing. If we can beat South Carolina though, things will be looking better. It is hard to believe that things will ever really change though. Losing to Auburn pretty much sums up what it's like to be a State fan. At least things are better than they were a few years ago.

I know *I* am impressed. John, that's two postings in two years!
Perhaps the season for entertaining old folks is over. We enjoyed our visit and I am sure the other tour groups did, too!
