The September get-together started with a trip to Salisbury with
Beth Lilley behind the wheel of the previously red but now white bus.
we divided into two groups, one group
spent the morning shopping at the Emporium while the rest climbed aboard one of Salisbury's
quaint motorized trolleys.
We saw incredible homes over a hundred years old, lovingly cared for
by generations of families in a town that has decided to preserve the
past rather than tear it down and build strip malls.
We saw church after church that have provided a place of worship for
the citizens of this quaint town. One church building even has real
Tiffany stained glass windows. We heard tale after tale about haunted
buildings and spooky trolley rides available around Halloween.
After spending the morning in Salisbury, we headed for Carolina Lily.
The Lord blessed us
with warm sunshine,
mild temperatures and
gentle breezes so we
had lunch outdoors
surrounded by century
old magnolia trees,
flowers and scarecrows.
We were served lunch in straw hats decorated with colorful flowers.
It is so much fun to look through each hat to uncover tasty
sandwiches, salads, tiny muffins and desserts.
Joyce Ford and Annie Hunt tried on their straw hats
and smiled for the camera.
Donna Waters wore a big grin with her hat.
Bonnie Smith looked like a real southern belle.
We enjoyed the flower gardens...
chuckled at the scare crows...
and posed for a group picture.
All in all, I think everyone had a lovely time but if you think
driving the bus for the Single Sisters and Friends is easy,
well sometimes you just have to go out on a limb to
get the job done! It's a hard job but somebody's
gotta do it. Thanks, Beth!
Thanks to all who had a part in our day in Salisbury.
