Trip to Charleston, SC

The Sea Pines women's group had a day trip Charleston. We had a high tea at the Charleston Place Hotel and went shopping. It was a great day.





















It is Xmas. The hotel was decorated beautifully.









Joan and Bob D celebrated their 50th anniversary.
All six kids, DIL, and 13 grandchildren were in HHI for a party.
This is the Christmas card that they send this year.





Each family is color coded. Great idea.





We sat the movies 12 years a slave, the Book Thief, Frozen and Philomena.
Each one was sad and thought provoken. They took a lot of strength to sit through each one. There were parents dying, adoption, slavery, the dead of Jews in WWII and blood and gore.
The building of the new Beach Club is progressing.

We had a four day Thanksgiving rental. Family have a dad living in Sea Pines. He is in hospice care. He died the Weds after the holiday. We had fourteen rentals this summer and not one problem. BUT this one is a big problem. First they had a problem with the oven. Said they could not turn off the oven. So they turned the circuit off. Meanwhile the knob is turned upside down. We fixed it. But what did they do?






And two bedrooms had major dirt on the floors. I suspect a dog was in the house. I know the one woman has a dog. As she is now staying at the dead dad's house. And a friend saw her walking a medium sized dog. We will deal with the renters. I want an explanation of what happened and some money for the cost of cleaning the carpet. I just hope it cleans up.














Looks like a dog spray of pee.





Some recent pictures of myself and the " Dear Heart".
