Joyces 60th Birthday & Ernesto Rolling thru

McCormick County SC...just north of Augusta GA...Yesterday I drove to McCormick for my friend Joyce's 60th birthday...doesnt she take a great picture and omgoodness she doesnt look more than 40!! Happy Birthday Joyce. We ate lunch in a charming tea room called McCrays and you couldnt find a better lunch in Atlanta and it was very charming. They even offer tea and scones if you call ahead...who knew little ole McCormick had such a charming tea shop?I was worried that it would pour rain while we were at the big birthday bash and we would all get soaked like we did the nite before in downtown Augusta where Ernesto was dumping BUCKETS of rain...puddles in the gutters were five feet across so I stopped and took pictures of the clouds from Ernesto at Parksville, SC ...ominous thunderclouds were scudding cross the sky on the lake to the left of the causeway I was driving across...ahead just big piles of thunderclouds with clear blue sky over the tiny hamlet of Parksville...and did we get rain from all those threatening clouds...not a drop....
