Where We Are Now

 We were sitting outside this morning with our coffee  and

I thought you might like to see where we're staying right now.  This photo(above) is 

the view from our deck.

 This is our setup.  We have a nice deck to enjoy

and don't have to climb steps to get into the trailer.

 We've got lots of trees to shade us from the late morning

and afternoon sun.

 As you can see, there aren't lots of trailer and other RV's 

crowded in around.

While you can't see it in these photos, just over the hill

is a small pond and beyond that is the Saluda River.  

We like it here for now while we wait to meet our new Grand Daughter!!

Stay around with us and eventually you'll get to see pictures of her (but 

not till December.)

Greenville, sc

What a great day.  We're in Greenville, SC, and today we went to the local farmer's market.  Great selection of vegetables, fruit meat and other food and crafts.  As usual, we bought way too many fruits and veggies, now we just have to eat them.

This area is really pretty, and we have found a nice campground with good spaces, and the one we are in has a nice deck at walk out height so there's no negotiating steps. 

We also had an opportunity to check out the library, very nice and we'll soon have cards there.  We'll have pictures next time (I hope), but wanted to let you know we're still around.

A nice after dinner walk

Another Break from Projects

We've been with Heather in NC for the last week, working on projects on her house.  What better time than summer with 90+ degree temps, nearly equal humidity and daily thunder storms to do outside and inside projects. 

You'd think there would be before and after photos, but that's just thinking!  We put trim on her mud room, posts and rails on the front porch, Pat did cleaning and painting baseboards and trim and prep work for ceiling repair in the kitchen. 

Textured ceiling and new lights followed.  It all looks very nice, and Heather's animals are quite happy that we have finished for now so they can get back to their normal life.  So am I. 

She lives outside of Raleigh, so it's still a 30 mile drive for supplies, but at least there is LOTS more selection than going to Alpine and McCoys.

We've got more to do, but we're going to wait for warmer weather (August) to do those. 

Keep tuned in for more earth shattering updates.

Seeing the Green

I almost feel guilty, all the green, all the rain, but the all the humidity kicks in and with it the realization that there are goods and bads with everyplace.  We've traveled on to South Carolina and spent some time with Karen, Spencer and 'the bump'.  It is really a kick to watch Pat talk to Karen's belly and both (Pat and Karen) be so excited about looking for baby stuff and talk about all the goings on.  It's good that time flies or it would be a long time till December.

We did get our Devereaux's fix.  Went to dinner with Karen there on Wednesday and had a wonderful dinner.  Spencer did his wonderful stuff and fed us some very super food.  Thank goodness for small portions, otherwise there's no way to have eaten it all.  I'd tell you what we ate if I could remember what it all was. 

After Greenville, we journeyed on to Roanoke for some time with Nikki.  We're having a nice time here.  It's fun to come back and see all the changes in a place where we lived and worked.  I still haven't got the photo thing worked out, but don't give up, I haven't.

Till next time.....
