Frightful Frashley!

A Night of Ghosts Past:
We are counting down to Halloween. Saturday night we got an early start on Halloween festivities. We picked up Papa Dale in the Pony and first had dinner at Brick City Grill. As the meal progressed, the topic of conversation turned to Halloween costumes and then to ghost stories. Papa had quite a few ghost stories. This was so much fun we decided to go to Old Stone Church Cemetary in Clemson, which is said to be haunted. By the time got drove to Old Stone Church graveyard it was about 10:30. We climbed the stone wall surrounding the cemetary and began to walk around. We stopped and looked at all the graves in the moonlight. We saw the legendary grave of the woman who died of a broken heart. Her large stone is cracked in several pieces. This is supposed to be because it was struck by thunder since the she was an adultress. She was in love with a married man and she and her man ran away together. They only made it a little ways when her brothers came and forced her to return with them. She then died, presumably of a broken heart. Poor Frashley. We had so much fun and fright at Old Stone Church Cemetary that we have decided our next pre-Halloween excursion will be to Cry Baby Bridge on Old Dobbins Bridge Road. I am not exactly clear on the story with Cry Baby Bridge but some spooky things are said to go down if you park your car and get out on the bridge around midnight. Eeek! Next we saw a ghost of Ashelys... As it turns out, we all have ghosts.

On the fitness front: Last night I got on the scale and I have lost five pounds. Five pounds puts me halfway to my goal of losing 10 pounds. I put on a little this summer when I was in an office all day, and had the money to eat out for lunch everyday. Why are Sullivan's desserts so devine? This is so exciting and inspirational I feel filled with energy to go to the gym tomorrow.

    Hey Frashleys
    I used to live not far from Crybaby Bridge. It is indeed a good ghost-hunting location.. but if you go, please take Papa with you (or someone) because Crybaby Bridge is also a hangout for some scary, unsavory (and still living) types.

    Oh, BTW, I like your blog. And your shoes with the police costume. :-D
