My best friend Rachel made it down for a visit Easter weekend! From her college in Greenville, it’s only an 8 hour trek- a bit more manageable than the trip from Greenville to Los Angeles.

We broke out our grill for the first time that weekend for ribs. 

Rachel and I wandered downtown Columbus, drinking coffee and seeing the sites, including this massive elephant head at a local antique store. Apparently, it lights up and moves. The price tag simply says, “Make an Offer”. Just a little terrifying. 

She got to meet the puppy, of course. Kaia provided most of our entertainment. 

We also spent quite a bit of time on the back porch watching the birds, coffee or tea in hand. What more could I ask for?
