...miles from south Decatur to Simpsonville SC and back. It was a pleasant day to make a little trip. Drove over to visit my cuzzin' who lives in a little town south of Greenville. I usually try to go see her after I go to spend the day with my pen-pal. But realized that I don't get to spend enough time with her, when I am trying to squeeze two visits in on one trip.
So we made a date to hang out today. It's about a two hour drive from Decatur, so I got there about 10:30 (after missing my turn from I-85 to I-385 and having to drive several miles out of my way to get to a place to make a U-turn). We looked at photos of grandbabies that are too far away in Montana, then went to lunch. At a neat little sidewalk café in downtown, overlooking the Reedy River and falls in Greenville. Very scenic, very sketchy service, and remarkably average food. We will definitely try something different next time.
Made a tour of the beautiful campus of Presbyterian College in Clinton (pronounced by the locals as 'Clinnon'). And went to downtown Simpsonville to get ice cream at the converted train station. I wish I had just asked them to fill my cup with cookie dough and leave the ice cream part out. Don't care a thing about eating cookies, but could eat un-cooked dough until it runs out my ears....
Traffic was not bad, driving was a breeze with the talking book from the library I had to keep me company. I am glad I went, had some time to spend with her, and not feel rushed trying to get on the road. We enjoyed growing up together, and rarely have/take time to visit as adults. So it was a good day.
