Week two of Grandma's visit with us began with a lovely day and Maeve's birthday. We had a very nice meal together and chocolate cake for dessert. Nice to have near 80deg in mid-November!
Lots of history in this part of the country so we took a day trip to the Santee area to check out history, a timeshare trade possibility and to see more country. We made a stop at Mepkin Abbey which was a fortunate turn because they just started their annual creche display. We got Grandma out for a nice walk in a beautiful setting and saw some great artwork, too.
Grandma checks her email...but she hates the laptop!

Near Thanksgiving and nice temps.
Happy Birthday Maeve.
