1. The governor of South Carolina is a real embarrassment to the people of this great state. When you think of all the wonderful people and places that make up SC and the only thing that people around the world ever hear about SC is news of this bozo, it's really embarrassing. So if you're reading this and you're not a South Carolinian, please don't base your opinion of this state on this dingdong. There's so much more to it than him.
2. Yesterday Mac and I went clothes and shoe shopping, and one of the things he wanted to buy was a pair of hiking shoes to replace the ones he'd outgrown some time ago. He had a very specific image of what he wanted. They needed to be brown with orange accents, velcro closure, and a size 3. We searched high and low for hours for said pair of shoes, and there are none to be found from North Charleston all the way to Summerville. And according to Mac, that was all my fault. Who knew I was so powerful to have influence over hiking shoe selection in at least 10 shoe stores??? I shall have to don my SuperGirl cape more often to show my power.
3. Mac and I enjoyed an overnight visit from our friends, the Rolands, who are enroute to Florida. Kevin and Jimmy started the Foreign Service at the same time and we immediately clicked with Karen and Kevin from the beginning. They have a son who's a few months older than Mac (who was Mac's earliest playmate) and a daughter that we met for the first time last night. They're one of those families that no matter how much time passes between visits, you catch right back up. The best part of the visit was that we didn't have to tell them goodbye today because we're going to stay at their condo in Florida with them tomorrow night enroute to Disneyworld.
4. Finally, after 7 LLLLLOOOOONNNNGGGG weeks without seeing Jimmy, we get to see him on Saturday. Mac and I will overnight in Flagler Beach tomorrow and will drive on to Orlando on Saturday in time to pick up Jimmy at the airport. And we can't wait!!!
