Graduation is just a few hours away-- let's eat again & again...

Caroline does not want to leave Greenville and Furman University.  I have been afraid that she will decided not to graduate and stay another year. Saturday begins with lunch at noon on campus for students and family.  After lunch, we returned to Caroline's apartment for more packing.  She and Steve loaded the trailer while I cleaned her kitchen.  Katy and Lainey made everyone laugh with their comments.  Caroline's friends had brought over breakfast with mimosa's.  Katy and Lainey made some more for everyone to enjoy with the remains of the champagne bottle.  

Once the trailer was loaded, we headed back to the hotel for a much needed nap, while Caroline went to visit friends one last time.  We were to meet Caroline and Connor and Lannon at  The Cazbah for appetizers/early dinner.  We were going to try to get downtown early to visit the boutiques, but we didn't quite make it.  The skies opened up to release  the rain that had been threatening for hours about 4:45.  We headed into the restaurant to wait for Caroline's arrival at 5:00.  

The Cazbah is a Tapas bar for a for creative, sophisticated, high-energy diners (so says their advertisment).  We believe we fit the bill.  After ordering the warm spinach artichoke dip in a bread bowl, we watched all the people with umbrellas passing by--thankful to be inside.  


Caroline arrive with Lannon and Connor.  She was wearing a beautiful lei made from orchids shipped from Hawaii.  Her sorority sisters gave one to each of the seniors.  

I remembered to get some pictures of the food this time--yes I am a foodie--it drives Steve nuts that I photograph food

Caroline and her friends left at 6:00 to head over to the graduation ceremony. We walked around Greenville for a few more minutes, went into Mast General Store.  Katy had to leave before the ceremony because she had to work on Sunday.  We hugged her goodbye and drove on over to campus.  More tomorrow....
