Went to urgent care this morning to get antibotics to deal with my chronic cough - which instead of getting better, has gotten worse, dang it. Got the dreaded antiboitics and cough syrup (laced with codeine) and came home. So today was fairly low-key. (I type as I hack. Hate chest coughs.)
Yesterday, we wandered about Beaufort, SC which has changed a great deal. Not one but two of our beloved book stores have closed. One was in an old firehouse. They want to put a restaurant or bar in it, as if they don't have enough already. But we had a nice gumbo at the historic Plums, a rollicking laid-back seafood joint, and candy cane ice cream at an old fashioned ice cream parlor. Well, I had the candy cane ice cream (because peppermint ice cream is my fav), Momster had chocolat and Popster Vanilla/Orange Sorbet. And we took a quite stroll along the Broad River, which included sitting in a wooden swing, just soaking in the sunshine. It was a lovely day - in the mid-sixities. Once we returned home, I sat outside for a bit and read.
Tuesday - we saw the musical Hello Dolly. ( review of Hello Dolly )
Am charging up the old Kindle, so taking a break from the page-turner that Catching Fire book two of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games triology has become. I rather like the new characters - Finnick and Johanna, and Beetee.
