South Carolina Vacation

Well, we have been back from vacation for over a week and Keith said the other day, "I can't believe that you haven't put something on the blog about our vacation!" So here goes.....

Keith had an auction in Bowling Green on the 19th, so I went with him rather than have him drive home after the auction and turn around in the morning and drive south again. We stayed part way between Bowling Green and Cincinnati - Bluffton I think??

We got up on Wednesday and drove the rest of the way to Cincinnati. We spent a wonderful day with Kevin and Sarah. We went to see Madison, Melissa's baby, and Linda & Greg's new home. It is really nice. I love the back yard. It feels like you are in a park. I also love the sky lights in her kitchen and bath. Two fireplaces. It is a beautiful home! We went out for lunch at Red Lobster and Sarah made a delicious lasagna for dinner. Gilmore was happy to see us too. We stayed all night with them. In the morning we went out to breakfast with Linda and then started on our way.

We spent the next night in Franklin, North Carolina and had a very short trip Friday to our timeshare in Westminster, South Carolina. Well the driving was short, but of course we had to stop at a flea market and an estate sale on the way.

We really didn't do a lot on our vacation but relax. They have an indoor pool and hot tub that we took advantage of. We always go to the big flea market in Pickens, South Carolina on Wednesday. We left for the market around 7 and I don't think we missed a row!!

We left early as Keith had an auction he could not miss on Saturday in Archbold. I worked at the auction in the office trailer. We didn't have to leave until Friday morning, but we left Thursday morning. We stopped in Kentucky for the night and stopped at Kevin & Sarah's in the morning on the way through Cincinnati. They had taken the entire week off, so they were home.

We got home around 5 or 6. We took our time unloading as we wanted to put things away as we went and I started the washer. We had not called Kurt yet, but they pulled in and saw a light on and kinda spooked them as all the vehicles were out but the mustang and they didn't think we took that on vacation. Then they saw me in the kitchen window and blew their horn. Kinda startled me, but that made us even. They came in and we had a nice visit. They couldn't stay too long as they were on their way to Christy's Mom & Dad's and they hadn't planned on us being home.

This week has gone by so fast with catching up on things at work and Keith went to Michigan to work on getting a big auction ready. He didn't come home until late Wednesday night. We got to talk a little in the morning Thursday and then both went to work. He had an auction that started at 6 and I had to be at the cemetery to sell a lot at 6 . He didn't get home till around 10. We had lunch together yesterday. He is at a sale today and I am here trying to get some things done. Can't remember the last time I worked on my scrapbooks, I am so behind. If I get the laundry and bookwork done, I may just go start working on my scrapbooks. I guess that is all for now.

The first picture is of the Smoky Mountains and the next is of Lake Hartwell. I am also putting in a picture of Madison and a rainbow we saw on the way home from Kevin's. A rainbow is God's promise that everything will be alright.
