Monday - Driving Miss Daisy

Finally got behind the wheel of the car. Not entirely my fault it took this long. Mr Smith just didn't put me on the insurance for the hire car. Which is fine by me- he drives and I just drink copious amounts of Pinot!
But it is also very boring and as no one walks anywhere here means I can't go out past the gate without him driving me, so it was a small sense of freedom. Independent chick is back in town!!
Except it's more like Driving Miss Daisy then Daisy Duke!!
The traffic where we are staying is very heavy and there is this weird lane in the middle of the road, called the suicide lane, er sorry..the turn lane. Anyone from either direction can get in it to turn left or right across the on coming traffic. All lanes!!!!
Heard from Lannie, and it looks like they are booked for the 10th July, can't wait. Caitlin will be 18 on the 13th July and wants to come and spend it with us! It is so lovely to have someone defo coming over to visit. Going to start looking at places to go and explore!
The boys and I played tennis and basketball in the morning, then I had to drive to 'Quizno's' for lunch , which is like 'Subway'. A little better if you are a meat eater cos their menu is very varied, although not as good as 'Firehouse Subs'. That was started by two fireman brothers who started a sub restaurant in the tradition of firemen always having good food in their firehouse. Or fire station as we would say.
After we took the boys to Putt Putt golf - Crazy golf for us - and the boys had a great time. It was very sad for me, it reminded me of our lovely weekend earlier this year with Mum and Dad at Centerparcs, when we played crazy golf on a lovely hot afternoon.
On the way back Mr. Smith stopped at "Outback Steak house" for a take out steak and fries, side salad, bread and a blooming onion. He was the only one who ate anything, the rest of us refused any more take out and came home for bowls of cereal etc. You can ring your order through, drive up and not even get out of your car. They walk to your car and take your money and then bring the order to your car!!!
So far here you can get food, and not just fast food, dry cleaning, gas, sorry petrol, all your banking and sex through a drive through window without leaving your car.
Sorry, did I say sex? Ha ha I wish!!
Came home, Mary rang and we made plans for the weekend for both our families to go out for a picnic and a walk around a historical house in South Carolina and it's grounds. Mr Smith's dad - hereby known as Grandaddy - is arriving Thursday for a visit so i think it will be a nice weekend.
