Fried Gator and Mason Jars

I am in the South! Yesterday I landed in Georgia to see my brother before coming up to South Carolina for family vacation. There are a lot of things on my list of southern experiences to have, and I have already been able to enjoy many of them. Last night we went to Old McDonalds Fish Farm for dinner. Fried gator, frogs legs, fried catfish, hushpuppies, grits, sweet tea in mason jars. .









There was a thunderstorm that blew through right after we left, which accomplished one of my goals (along with sweet tea in a mason jar), and gave a beautiful cloudy sky for sunset. Cracker Barrel was this morning, riding bikes tomorrow, and hopefully fireflies very soon, too. So good.

Great Outdoors.

A Great Gift

These girls are fantastic. One day at the end of class Hollie asked me if I wanted to have breakfast with her and our friend Shannon. It turns out it was the beginning of a weekly breakfast club that I was kindly welcomed into. Hollie would often make homemade bread or granola, and Shannon and Ro would provide a place to meet with their yogurt, fruit, and french press Peet's coffee. For a few weeks we traded bringing homemade cinnamon roll's and had a four week long bake-off. So fun! I loved the way we all worked together, and I hope that we will reunite over breakfast again someday.
