I Pink … Therefore I Am!

Dear Reader:

Yesterday was the long awaited day… Pink Day when Julie, Carrie, Mandy , Eva Cate and I were going, going…( can you guess where?) to the movies to see Barbie! ( And then out for an early supper! Girls Do Have Fun!!! Kaitlyn had seen it with friends Sunday but she joined us for supper!

In gathering as many pink accessories as I could find… Julie sent this photo of her pink footwear… pink bows makes the slippers!

I am going for the Barbie cowgirl look with my pink sheriff star… I am the law!

It will be just so much fun being with Julie and Kaitlyn and Carrie… don’t get to see them as much as I would like!

Some pictures popped up Wednesday morning on Summerville history and they had a copy of a breakfast menu that would have been the standard fare for a Pinehurst Inn breakfast experience. It made me so hungry I immediately called Eva’s Restaurant but they weren’t open … very disappointing… on a Wednesday?

When I later rode by… there was a sign on the door that said due to a staff shortage their restaurant -Eva’s -was closed on Wednesday July 26.

Haven’t we all experienced this more lately in many standard restaurants and other service stores? It appears to be a sign of the times.

**Check out this menu… customers in 1901 really knew how to eat breakfast…sirloin steak , country ham, bacon, sausage, eggs done every way imaginable** , creamed, scalloped, potato and cheese casserole, or fried potatoes, variety of grits, orange marmalade, alcoholic drinks, as well as home brewed coffees, cocoas… my mouth was watering.. and Eva’s was closed!

McDonalds came through… I barely made the cut-off for breakfast but got my sausage biscuit and gravy … my favorite breakfast there.

The old pictures of Pinehurst Inn always make me wish I could go back in time -perhaps for a week and stay at this beautiful dream location…a little slice of heaven…

We all LOVED Barbie! We laughed and cried!

So until tomorrow… isn’t it refreshing to see an adorable movie with a great message for all ages-be true to yourself!

Today is your favorite day… Winnie the Pooh

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”
