Bring back some memories at the drive-in movies!

Remember going to the drive-in movies with your family... your friends... your boy or girlfriend! I sure do. Wow, what memories. I remember the very first time I went - I was just a little girl, it was in Newton, NJ, with my Aunt Elaine -and we saw Snow White. Back then you had to hang the metal speaker on your window in order to hear the movie - nowadays you can tune in with your car radio :)




We have a drive-in movie right here in Aiken County - called 'The Big Mo', located in Monetta, SC, on Highway 1. It's very easy to find - just take Highway 1 - towards Ridge Spring,,,and keep going until you get to Monetta. You will pass Ridge Spring High School, and then it isn't far from there.

Blogpost turns into backstage invite! :)

Yes - that is Sheryl Crow! I met her at her concert in North Charleston, SC. (August 26, 2011) She had contacted me after seeing a property on my blog, and next thing I know she had invited me to come see her in N.Charleston! It was a great show - check out the review!

I may not have sold her any real estate, but I had the experience of a lifetime :)


Thanks again to Sheryl, I hope you continue to check out my blog from time to time ! <3>
She is one of my favorite singers, it was great when she phoned me - a day I'll never forget - as well as meeting up with her at the concert!  She is a beautiful person, inside and out.  It was very kind of her to invite me (and friends) to the show, and to give us VIP treatment!

Update on my garden!

For those of you keeping an eye on my garden..... I have strawberry!! Yes, singular, haha -it's the first one to grow- hopefully soon to be plural, since I see many many flowers and buds! My plans for this little berry are to enjoy it this evening, sliced on top of my salad...with lettuce and carrots from my garden :) If you love to grow things, Aiken is perfect!




Take a look!
