Timeless Tours and Travel in Pendleton SC

Do you belong to a group that enjoys fun day trips? If so Jean Vegod, owner of Timeless Tours and Travel, is the person to talk to. She plans some wonderful trips and goes out of her way to make sure that each person has a great time. Jean describes some of her upcoming trips as:

March 4th - Harrah's in Cherokee again.....by popular demand. The cost is $40 and includes transportation, a very nice buffet lunch, and $5 to get us started at the machines. One of the folks who went last time played the 1 penny machines and won $41!!!

March 28th - A Wine-Tasting Trip going to some wineries that we haven't done before, over in N. Georgia. We will have a tasting, then lunch on our own, then 2 more wineries, the second of which is a private estate and vineyard, where they will do an early dinner for us. The last winery promises to be a real treat; the owners are perfectionists, so I know it will be done well!

Jean says that she is thinking about a trip to Asheville for lunch, & a show. The show will be "My Mother's Jewish, My Father's Italian, and I'm in Therapy."

Jean is now booking long trips as well and has a great one planned for China.
October 29 - November 6, 2009 Trip to China - Only $1899

If you are interested in these trips or want to talk to Jean about booking other trips, please give her a call. Jean can also plan a trip for people wanting to come visit us in Pendleton.

The Ohme Bug Has Been Found!

Congratulations to Roberta Hulce of Abbeville who found the Ohme Bug on February 12 in Blue Ridge Antiques on the square in Pendleton! Roberta has won lunch for two at the Village Baker. I know you will enjoy that, Roberta. It is delicious! Thank you, Village Baker for donating the prize!

That was fun! Are you interesting in doing it again next month? The only problem I have is with printing the signs and posting them. That is a lot of printing and leg work for this old lady. Any ideas.

February - Where In Pendleton Is The Ohme Bug?

Do you know what the Ohme Bug is?

The Ohme Bug is going to be hiding in a Pendleton Business during the month of February.

Can you find her? She will be hidden in plain view so you won't have to look behind or under anything.

The first person to find the Ohme Bug will win a gift certificate for lunch at The Village Baker. Now, doesn't that sound exciting. But wait, the winner will also be featured on my Pendleton Businesses Squidoo lens (scroll down webpage).

Rules for the Pendleton Business Ohme Hunt:
- Visit the businesses listed on Pendleton Businesses Squidoo lens. Enjoy your visits and patronize them when possible.
- Find the Ohme Bug which will be hidden in plain view at one of the businesses listed on my Pendleton Businesses Squidoo lens.
- When you find her, give her to the business owner or manager and tell who the Ohme Bug is. Sorry, you can not keep her as she will be hidden again in March if she is found by the end of February.
- The owner will have instructions to call me and I will congratulate you and make arrangements to video or photograph you to be featured on Pendleton Businesses Squidoo lens.

Remember to THINK PENDLETON!

Christmas Shopping

I did a little bit of Christmas Shopping on the Square today. I started at Village Station Antiques and got three of the cutest Christmas Hand Towels. One of them says "Dear Santa, Define Good", another one says "Free the Reindeer" and the last one says "Dear Santa, Is it too late to be good!". They were $8 each and are well made and very unique. I also got an antique china ring holder for $5 for my daughter in law. I picked up 2 packages of South Carolina Cocktail Napkins at $3.50 each to have on hand for Friendship gifts. I then went to The Village Shop and got some real nice coasters with the South Carolina Palm Tree on them. I picked up some Holiday Tea at Whitworth Trading Co. so I thought I accomplished a good bit considering I am still hobbling around with an injured leg. I treated myself to lunch with my hubby and a friend at the Village Baker and it was delicious. Have you been? If not, you need to check all the shops and restaurants in Pendleton.
