Alma Mater

When we were up in Greenville, SC, babysitting for baby Marc, we decided we would drive about 45 minutes to Spartanburg to see Converse College, the college I attended. I loved this college because this is where I learned to study, party (a skill I have thankfully lost!), make great friends and shag. Anyone know how to do the South Carolina shag? There is nothing more fun than that! I also met my husband there because he attended the neighboring mens' college, Wofford College. We had such a good time and the memories just go on and on. But back to my story. The three of us were toodling down the road in our daughter's van as happy as clams with my camera in tow to take some pictures for sketching when all of a sudden a box springs mattress flew out of nowhere and landed right in front of us on the road and there was nothing we could do but hit it. Long story made short, after the wrecker lifted the car up to pull out the mangled- up box springs, (thank the Lord for the DVD player in the car!) the car was thankfully drivable and ok except for a fender guard that kept falling down and dragging. So we just went home...  no pictures but so thankful we were all ok. This is from their website that I sketched and painted today.
