The Setback

Februarys plans foiled, not by choice but because life doesn't always play by our rules. A week in the mountains followed by a week that we planned to spend with family. That didn't happen for reasons unknown and Ohhh the disappointment. We traveled around from thrift store to thrift store, flea market to flea market. A road trip through the mountains and across the border to a beloved pottery to buy some coffee mugs and apple bakers filled our free time.  The joy of a new grandbaby snatched away and replaced with heartache and tears as we learned it wasn't meant to be. Today we're home in a familiar place, surrounded by familiar faces but alone, alone deep inside my thoughts wondering what tomorrow will bring, next week, next month, next year...

Anxious moments, forced smiles and uncontrolled tears...

A Week of Quiet Solitude

We just spent a week in Yemassee South Carolina, 23 miles from the nearest Walmart. The Oaks at Point South is a sleepy little campground, at least in early February, who knows what throngs of people  the summer months bring. We strolled around the lake and met a few new friends. After all, walking and talking is what we do best. One thing that stands out to me here in Yemassee the most is the Spanish Moss that drapes the trees down here in the southern states. I know they're home to chiggers but it is such a beautiful site to see. I often wondered on those breezy days if they blow in the wind, not a pleasant thought if they do :/

Well today will be our last day here in Yemassee, we plan to take a drive south to Savannah one last time before heading to the mountains in northern Georgia. Unexplored territory is always an adventure. Savannah is a great place, beautiful and lots of history however, the thought of going someplace that we've not yet been before is even more exciting. Oh the thrill of it all; so greatful to be able to live our life on wheels, traveling to and fro enjoying Gods country at will, in our own time, at our own pace. So different from the rest of the world, everyone speeding by unaware of their surroundings. Oh the freedom of leaving that life behind...
