Home away from home


It may not be as exotic as travelling around Europe but this is where I am now - home away from home, in our little place in South Carolina. It's relaxing to be here but I'd prefer to have company. We keep a vehicle here but as I discovered when I arrived last night, batteries sometimes lose their charge after sitting idle for a couple of months. Thank goodness for AAA. As I was planning the rest of my day, I wondered why I was starting to feel the heat. Hmmmm. Could something be wrong with my air conditioning? I have a thermometer in the house and after checking it several times, there was no mistake, the temperature was rising. Summer is South Carolina is very hot and humid and I needed to get this repaired as soon as possible. Fortunately for me, I found a very nice local repair service and all is well again. So after dealing with a few mechanical issues, I was ready to relax.



This is one of my favourite activities: walking in the woods (this is a mile long footpath)




Not a bad place to be when it's 90 degrees F.

  1. Love that boardwalk through the woods. Just curious - what is the local wildlife in SC - including reptiles? I always think Southern US woods are full of dangerous snakes - I must have read too much Annie Dillard!
