OK, this weekend was quite busy for your old correspondents. We had a lot of things we had to accomplish around the house, but we also wanted to share some of what we did with all of you. Saturday night we joined some very dear friends and went into the "big city" of Greenwood. The month of June is when Greenwood celebrates the FESTIVAL OF FLOWERS. We enjoyed walking through town and seeing the topiaries. Then we went to dinner at Polo's and from there went to the community theater to see the "Funniest Man In America." If you haven't been exposed to James Gregory, you are missing a great evening of entertainment.

6:55 pm Made it to Greenwood Community Theater (GCT) just in time. James Gregory is billed as "The Funniest Man in America." He well may be. I know we sure enjoyed the evening.

What a fun day. There are some talented kids in that town, for sure. You lost me at the rack of lamb.....even though I ate it as a kid, I can't get lamb into my mouth anymore.
I LOVE the Jeep!!
All of them were so creative!
Those topiaries are great! I think the horse might have been my favourite :D
(I was horrendously late putting my 12 of 12 up, but they are now. I held off on commenting so that people knew when I left a comment, my own was up – the only way I could think of to let people know when I posted! http://dogearedphotos.blogspot.com/2010/06/12-of-12-v50-june.html)
