Oh Lordy - I just had the best time! Our friend Jeanne had dinner with us tonight. She is Dego's widow. Dego was one of Dick's best friends and was killed in an automobile accident about a year ago. We boated with them, Dick cooked with him, we were dedicated animal lovers and he and Jeanne have been special in our lives for years.
Dick and I have kept close to Jeanne - having dinner, going to each other's homes, laughing and crying about the wonderful, funny man that is no longer in our lives.
Tonight, we decided to go to Morgan Creek, a nice fun restaurant at the north end of the Isle of Palms. It was raining when we left our house and we drove up Waterway Blvd. About six blocks from the restaurant we saw that someone had put out in the trash on the side of the street a plethora or gaggle of wire reindeer, complete with twinkling Christmas lights. Some about four feet long and about three feet high, two little ones and one thing that is probably a donkey.
Jeanne and I exclaimed that we should get them on the way back to add to our tacky Christmas decorations..to either join Santa Flamingo on the dock or the two wise flamingos on the front porch (see below.) Dick didn't respond..probably because he was certainly praying that the rain would wash them away or someone else would get them before we drove back.
Well, guess what? They were still there! So Jeanne and I coerced Dick into stopping and we loaded three big reindeer, two small reindeer and the donkey into the back of his GMC and brought them home. We unloaded them onto the carport and they nearly scared Sadie to death. But, omigosh! How fun was that. We rode down the street with the back of the car slightly open with white wire reindeer and one donkey loaded into the back. I just love life!
