Winter wonderland.....In Charleston????

Well we finally got snow. It has been about 10 years since it snowed here so it is a big deal for us. We only got about three inches on the ground but there is more in some areas where it drifted. I heard that a few miles inland they got around 6 inches. Thats a blizzard for this area. The last time we had this much snow was right after hurricane Hugo and that was around 20 years ago. I know a lot of you just want the snow to go away but it is a nice treat for us. The bad news is that I was supposed to be already on the roof and starting that project but I now have to wait for the snow to melt. I would have never guessed that I would be delayed by snow. Enjoy the photos.







Have a great day,
Greg

I wasn't too enthusiastic last night when it started, but must admit that it is very pretty this morning. Looks like it is going to melt pretty fast though.

We ended up with about three inches of it. First time for us to have that much since 1989. My youngest daughter can finally say she has seen snow. The weather channel said Columbia SC had about 6. It's already above freezing here and is melting pretty fast.

We had about 3 inches, too (maybe more in some places). It's the most we've seen since we moved to Georgia 7 years ago. It was so much fun this morning!

So much for global warming!

Just stopping by to say Hi. I haven't been around much, having a hard time lately but I loved the snow! We were at the beach and it was so beautiful on the beach and in the palm trees. We got about 5 inches back at our house.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

Pictures from Wadmalaw Island. Martins Point plantation as it stands today. (site of "The Notebook") Bohicket Creek. Shrimp boat at Rockville. If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here . Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
