A fruitful shopping trip

Tweet

On Wednesday, Dale and I drove to Raleigh (100 miles) to do some shopping. I wrote that I had found a dress to wear to our granddaughter's wedding in May, but needed to find a cocktail type dress to wear to the rehearsal dinner. Of course I don't wear what a 30 year old would wear, but I still want to look classy and not old. Even though I am, lol. We were prepared to stay in Raleigh as long as it took to find a dress and I found one in the first department store we went in! It's really pretty, silver and black sparkly, knee length. No slit up the side or low cut neckline of course! Just a very pretty dress that's dressy enough to be considered a cocktail dress. The rehearsal dinner is being held at a nice restaurant in downtown Charleston. Now I just have to find shoes to wear for the wedding and the dinner. For the brunch on Sunday, it will be kind of casual, so it shouldn't be hard to find an outfit for that. We ate lunch at our favorite place, Shane's Rib Shack. Very informal, but the best ribs anywhere. Although I think mine are a close second. Trouble is their prices have really gone up since Covid and the supply train issue. But we don't go to Raleigh very often, so it's a nice treat. Finished off the trip home with a stop at Dairy Queen for ice cream and my fave, the pecan turtle mini blizzard. So yummy. I'm looking forward to this wedding, but it sure will be a relief when it's over! Speaking of ribs, how do you like yours if you like ribs? Our son in law taught me how to make delicious ones in the oven.
