Oh, Little Town of.......Davidson

We spent last evening down in Davidson. It is such a classy little town. If you remember back in March, Stephen Curry carrried his Wildcats of Davidson to NCAA's Elite Eight. This is where he resides and plays and studies.

Chris, my cousin from Marion was here yesterday for a visit. We had gone down into Davidson last year when he was here and decided to do it again. MadiKat was also with us.
Oh, this reminds me. I have to show you my new Christmas sweater. I haven't bought one in about three years, heaven forbid, and this one was waiting for me in Myrtle Beach at Julie's boutique. I bought it because it has three girl reindeer on the front skiing. The girls and I love to ski, so it was perfect. Also, a Christmas watch of course. I mean really....how can you NOT have a Christmas watch?!?!


So back to Davidson. Really, besides wandering down Main Street, we only had two destinations. One was The Village Store. It's an upscale version of Hallmark with boutique-ey kinds of stuff in it. There's one of these in heaven, I just know it!

Check out the outside decor. Mounds of different types of greenery - holly, cedar, fir, magnolia cascaded from the window boxes and the street lights. This is the decor everywhere in Davidson..which is why it is so beautiful.

Thomas rocked outside the store for a little while. Oh, by the way, he gets the credit for helping me come up with titles for my posts....Christmas songs, no doubt. He has named several of the previous December posts.


Another old, beautiful Davidson building...a home used for some type of business - I can't remember what.
It was only 5:45 when these pictures were taken, but we were all starving. So, on we went to Davidson's 'The Brick House Tavern' for dinner. And, ya got it, it is one of my favorites. It's been several months since we've been there, but I'm thinking we'll go back down with the Privotts' after Christmas.
This VW van was parked in the parking lot. Haven't seen one in a very long time. Kinda funky lookin', don't you think?1966.......hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm, I wasn't even born yet.

In the restaurant. Smile Christopher, I won't bite.

And last, but certainly not least.....Thomas' infamous leaning salt shaker trick. Cool, huh?!

Mountain Chick, this is the best blog ever! And the reason is.....because my INFAMOUS balancing salt shaker trick has finally been exposed to the ENTIRE WORLD!!!! Don't worry, when I'm on tour performing this trick world wide I won't forget who helped me get my start in show business.

Love you babe,

Great blog,

I think Thomas has too much time on his hands. I don't know, though, maybe I need ot look into that salt shaker thing for the cruise. Maybe I can impress the women on board with that. Tell Thomas I might have to have him give me some lessons in salt shaker balancing.
