Posted by Christine on Sunday, November 12, 2006Hi All Rockland-Ave Readers,
They've finally pressured me into blogging. :)
This is my first visit down to Kate and Pat in NC. They picked me up at the airport on Saturday morning. Then we came back to their apartment to refresh and have some lunch. After we regrouped it was off to the Homemade Craft Show near the NCSU campus. It was a nice drive and the weather was great - near 80. The craft show was cool. There were lots of interesting crafts - pottery, clothes, candies, photographs, cards and more. But it was extremely crowded and hard to get a good look at stuff. On the way back to Cary we drove around checking out the area. Once back at the apartment - Pat took a nice little nap and Kate and I caught up a little. Then it was out for dinner. We went to the Cheesecake Factory. There was an hour and forty-five minute wait so we walked around the mall for a while. Dinner was good. We rented Friends with Money - it was not as good as Kate and I anticipated.
Today Kate made some tasty cinnamon rolls and we took our time getting ready - a leisurely Sunday morning. We spent some time playing with the kitties. I've missed my Moses and Zoe. Zoe has been more friendly to me on this visit. Then we headed out to get lunch on the way to see the new house. The house is really nice! It is much larger than it looks from the outside. The kitchen/living room area will be a great place to gather and entertain. The bedrooms are all a good size and the laundry area is up with the bedrooms - something Kate and Pat will surely appreciate after 5 years of schleping their laundry up and down three flights of stairs. We took a drive around the neighborhood - looks like a nice community. Then we headed to the outlets. Kate and I got matching sweaters (different colors though) and new jeans at the Gap outlet. Then we headed to the Nine West outlet and took advantage of a buy one get one half off special. We walked around for a little longer - it looks like a nice area to shop. On the way back to the apartment we drove back by the house one more time. :) And then stopped at Chili's for dinner.
It has been a really nice visit. I can't wait to come back and visit them in their new house! It is back to RI for me bright and early. And you will be back to your normal "blog-masters".
