I had a really good time this weekend so I thought I would share some of what went on.
Saturday night GF and I went to see Southern Cal play our beloved South Carloina Gamecocks. Before we got there we stopped at a bar and had drinks and an onion ring loaf, yummy. Well the game went badly for the Cocks and they lost by ten. Southern Cal has a real good team this year.
Sunday, D12 and I went out to GF's place. We helped GF put up christmas decorations. Two big artifical trees outside along with two nutcrackers that are over 6 feet tall. I mean huge heavy things.
D12 got to drive the riding lawnmower and pull the wagon that we used to move the Christmas decorations. She had a blast. When we were done with that she asked GF if she could just ride around on the mower, blade off of course. GF said sure, so D12 ran the wheels off of that mower yesterday. It was so funny because she was driving it and we could hear her singing as she rode around the property.
I almost forgot, but D12 and I made a pumpkin pie before going to GF's house. We took it with us as we knew we would be eating supper there.
After the outside decorations were up we started cooking. D12 went and watched tv while GF and I got down to cooking supper. I made sweet bread in the bread machine and fried the chicken. GF made rice with gravy, butter beans with ham hocks, and corn on the cob. We ate like pigs and it was mmmmm'good.
After dinner we put together another tree, one for indoors this time. It is a solid white one. We put lights on it but didn't get to decorate it yet.
Next Saturday GF, D12 and I are going to the mountains of NC to buy a live tree for GF's Florida room. There is a great farmers market near Ashville NC that she likes to go to and we are hoping to find a nice tree there. After we shop for the tree we are going to stay at GF's cabin in Brevard.
I can't tell you guys how nice and normal things seemed yesterday. It was almost like we were a family. GF and D12 really enjoyed each other and so did I. No stress, everyone having fun decorating for Christmas, enjoying a family meal, it was just nice.
I told GF I was glad she cared so much about my kids because if she didn't I wouldn't still be dating her. She said she loved kids and you know what, it really shows.

Oooh, Fender, your weekend sounds great...that is God's country, for sure. I love that Farmer's Market...eat their yummy breakfast, especially the biscuits with apple butter.
