Had a great trip south. Day one was rainy until about 3pm. Day two, we
drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway for a couple of hours, back to the
interstate, and more Parkway further west. It was a clear sunny day, views
were awesome, as most of the leaves were off the trees. Made it to MaryJo's
in Gastonia by dinnertime. Picked up some black and white prints for a
block exchange with my guild in Kingston, and also bought the background and
mottled black fabric for a quilt project (I'll pick up the colours
gradually, as I have lots of projects to work on already!)
Day three, we debated stopping in Charleston and touring a plantation, but
decided to leave it until spring, as the gardens will probably be prettier.
Also, as we get closer to our southern home, we get anxious to see how it
has fared without us over the summer.
Our place is great, everything working so far. DH is cleaning the screen
room this morning, as well as the sunroom side of the house (my sewing
room!) Then we need to clean the windows in the sunroom, get some of the
garden railway stuff out into the garden, and I can move my machine from the
dining room table!
We've done the first grocery trip, and have an on-going list on the
refrigerator. I think we'll be shopping daily for a while......
I may even get a sewing machine set up this afternoon!

So glad you had such an enjoyable trip. Sounds like you are settling in
just fine. So what are the temperatures like where you are?
Best regards,

Highs in the 90's when we arrived, and very humid. It has cooled off a bit
today and is overcast.
DH went golfing this morning with a neighbour and I'm baking bread and puppy
sitting for our next-door neighbours.

While we don't have the cold weather a lot of the country gets, I still
prefer the warmer temperatures. However, your humidity would probably
kill me! ;-) I like 90 with about 8% humidity.
