Leaving South Carolina

Greetings from our house to yours!

This is a view across from our park entrance.

We really have not been doing any sight seeing for weeks as the weather has not been very pleasant. However, we did finally have a sunshiny day and took a drive to Greenwood, SC to Park Seed Company to see their gardens, only to find that they were pretty well cleaned off for the winter. I took close ups of what few blooms they had left and will share those with you at the bottom of this Blog.

The best pictures of the trees in fall colors , we took right here in Barnyard RV Park . Then the rain came on again and the leaves all started to fall big time. We have been surprised how many live in this park full time. I ran into a young lady today at the laundry who said they have been here six years. They are afraid to pull out for a weekend trip as they don't want to loose their prime spot! I really haven't seen any mobile home parks, though there probably are some of those also.

Since we are leaving this area tomorrow morning, we took pictures today of the Church of God in Lexington after our last visit there. It has been a wonderful four weeks with them, actually five Sundays. This included their Home Coming Sunday Service and Dinner. They had a full house that day! We also attended their Fall Fest. We sure have had our share of dinners while in Lexington. Our new friends, Sandy and Mike have made sure of that! We have had such a lovely time visiting with all of the new acquaintances including John and Mary. Sandy and Mike had us to their home and what a cook Sandy is!

No, this is not snow! It is just the sandy road in the country to Sandy and Mike's home as we were driving along. They also introduced us to Grecian Garden's Restaurant. What a treat! And we helped Sandy celebrate her birthday there. Another day Sandy and I went for lunch at Vegetable Medley near the park here. We also found that we have scrap booking in common. So we will get together to do that next time around. We ran out of time this season.

We have been invited back by many and I am sure that we will, as we have made too many friends never to see them again. But we can't be sure just when we will be down I 26 again, except next week when we travel through from southern Georgia to Ohio for Thanksgiving.

We do want to do the east coast in NC and SC as we missed that area on this trip. But we have many years ahead, right?

And Pastor Mark, your sermons have been such a blessing to us. So I made sure we have some DVDs! And John does such a thorough scripture study for Sunday School. It is the first church on the road, where we have made an honest effort to be there early enough for class. And it was worth it! We do miss our Sunday School Class from back home!

We hear that you have snow in Ohio! Ugh. Maybe we will stay south??? I know that they got it in Maine right after we left there. It sure seems to be early this year.

Oh well, enjoy the flowers and we will see you on down the road!
