I'm sure missing that state ... but I'm glad to be back home where there are people who I missed even more than the beach that I'm missing today. ha!<br /><br />I'm curious where the perfect shrimp and grits are served. I have to say that I had some pretty darned good shrimp and grits for lunch on Saturday. But if there are even better ones to be had, well, I need to know that! ;-)<br /><br />So glad that there's end in sight for the tuition payments! <br /><br />Have a great week!Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-4482224440492885972011-09-26T13:35:58.081-04:002011-09-26T13:35:58.081-04:00What a wonderful weekend.

We don't get to do a family/parent weekend with the girl child because she always has a volleyball tournament the same weekend so we follow her to the tournament city. Still get to see her but no tailgating. In fact only one of our kids schools actually has a football team and he says they're not good enough to go see the game. :( oh well. <br />Love love love the chant... which I can do in another um... 2 years. Can't wait. :)Carrie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819737721881821638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-14528116890764777532011-09-26T11:56:10.811-04:002011-09-26T11:56:10.811-04:00Sounds like a perfect weekend!!
