No Mo' Mode


Lisa and I stayed at Savannah Lakes Resort over the weekend. It's just across the border into South Carolina, near the small town of McCormick. The resort is built along the banks of Lake Strom Thurmond, which is known as by its historic name, Clarks Hill Lake, in Georgia. We had dinner at the resort's bar and grill on the outdoor patio with an up-close view of the lake. The food was fine, but we had a slight communication problem when ordering dessert. I chose their special pecan pie and asked if I could "have it a la mode?". The waitress responded that "the kitchen had no mo' mode" in her local Southern accent. I quickly decided to let the matter drop rather than go through an embarrassing explanation of my unfortunate phrasing, which would undoubtedly expose my non-existent knowledge of French, when she pleasantly inquired "Would you like ice cream with that?". So it all worked out well in the end. I enjoyed my dessert and Lisa had a giggle.

Still waiting for my free iPhone

I'm on the list to get a free iPhone from Rush. In the meantime, I'm learning more about the capabilities of the iPhone from this helpful video.

Independence Day


We joined the Independence Day celebration at Mount Vintage. Pictured to the right is our favorite "Patriotic Pony" from the parade. We enjoyed a traditional Fourth of July picnic lunch at the Town Center. As a special surprise, several vintage small planes did a fly-over during lunch. Photos
