Wednesday, February 25, 2026 We visited Boone Hall Plantation on our way to Charleston today. It’s almost a two-hour drive from Myrtle Beach. We arrived and drove up the Avenue of Oaks. I read that it had such a place, but knowing and seeing are two very different things! WOW! Those trees (roughly 300 years

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 We picked well again for our dinner restaurant. The Grumpy Mustache was full of locals, including a table of 21 from a local church. There was just one waitress who heroically attended to us all. Barbara was enticed by a fried bologna sandwich and I was swept away by the offer

Monday, February 23, 2025 There are a gazillion restaurants here. Choosing what you would like to eat and where to get it is a little bit of a challenge. We agreed we would like to have lunch. The next step was harder. Barbara remembered seeing a place as they came into town that was Something

Sunday, February 22, 2026 I saw the direction post at the pool the other day and was really surprised to see Traverse City on the bottom. Our people were coming from TC! What were the chances?! (Benjamin?) I looked it up. To drive from here to there (or there to here) is 1023 miles. I

Saturday, February 21, 2026 Jerry and Barbara came! We went out for dinner, and everyone (but me) had fried Flounder. Like Ariel’s friend? Yes, like Ariel’s friend (but real-life flounder are really not cute, not yellow and blue, almost not 3-D).

Thursday, February 19, 2026 We got up and went out the door! Off to Congaree National Park we went. Huzzah for doing something! As the day went by, I actually thought of a bunch of titles for today’s blog:From Dick Pond Road past Gravelly Gully Circle around Hendrick’s Shortcut to Pudding Swamp we went!Luckily, the

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 We didn’t do entirely nothing today. We took several walks in the lovely weather. I stayed up until 2am finishing my book because I was really enjoying it. No construction sounds woke us up and we slept really late. Keith went for pizza (buy one large, get one half off –

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 There was noise upstairs this morning. That was surprising because as near as we can tell, we are the only ones in our building. Our first night there was a very shrill, loud woman next door. We contemplated calling the front desk to ask why in all of these many, many

Monday, February 16, 2026 We had dinner at Bubba’s fish and BBQ or something like that. Keith decided to have ribs. I asked him if he was having them fried. He was confused. I said it says one of the options of preparation was fried (I read the words after ribs…) He had not seen
