Wonderful Wednesday

Since I retired, Bob and I have been celebrating a midweek event called Wonderful Wednesdays.  We started it to get ourselves out of the same old same routine.  Occasionally we've had a misfire but generally the time has been wellspent and fun-filled.  Many times, it has evoked old memories.

Today, we headed up to Abbeville and ate lunch at Huggin' Molly's, a drug store that has been turned into a restaurant.  The local legend goes that Molly is a 7 foot tall and hay bale wide woman dressed in black that appears after dark, chases children and then gives them ghostly hugs while shrieking.  The restaurant is owned by Jimmy Rane of the Yellawood fame and it shows his love for the 50s and old western movie posters. Here's the link: http://www.hugginmollys.com/.

After lunching and looking through a couple of cool gift shops on the square, we returned by going the old 231 route through Headland.  There we visited an antique shop (no finds) and went by Bob's Dee-daden and Nannah' house which is close to the square.  We then checked out the new subdivision that is being built on the Roberts' old acreage.  Papa Roberts was Bob's maternal great-grandfather. 

Unfortunately, I forgot the camera that can download.  However, we did have a picture for our grandson, Anderson who loves to hear his grandfather, Bop, whistle.  Toot, toot, Anderson!
