Finsup!


Hey all!
Yeah it looks like Jaws, but these littlebigguys are Porpoises, or Dolphins to us landlubbers. I was fishing (lounging) at the Breech inlet again, and a pod of these was close enough to hear me whistle. They can't be photographed very well, because they know I'm looking, and they are shy. For us to feel we are the only intelligent being on the planet, well, you know.
Had a great week, just another beautiful South Carolina week of 80 to 85 degrees, and rain on Sunday evening. No Hurkaraines this year yet, and that makes all of us happy.
Had a nice evening last night, our friends Hollis (from american lafrance) and his wife Jenny invited us to their new house for the housewarming. They Barbequed a whole pig, all day, and it was the best I have ever had. The folks in the south take the bbq to a level we can't imagine, I guess they grow up with the recipies in their houses. Anyway, the BBQ was cool, but the house was fabuloso! on five heavily wooded acres on Johns Island, they bought a place from the heaven scrapbook. This place has no visible house from the road, 40 feet away. I can't get over how the forest makes you feel so hidden from the outside world. If you turned off the TV, you would swear you were on a different planet. The oak trees come from the ground with 12 foot wide bases and Spanish moss hanging to every limb. This is what the road out to their new house looks like, it's like a tunnel with these beautiful trees. Their house is a victorian style with two stories, and the acreage is just beautiful. This kind of place makes me want to live here forever, and bring everybody I know here to live it with us. Alas we shall see...we shall see.
Enough daydreaming. In other news.......
E-Lizabeth went to Tennessee with Steve to a wedding Friday, and they're returning tonite. The renters in Casper called this Sunday a.m. and informed us the stove crapped out, Gawd! only 46 years and we have to buy a new damn stove! what a pile of crap! Anyway I hope the appliance getters in Casper can handle this. We are so lucky we have a big Sears in Casper.
Looks like rain here, I'm gonna hunker down on the couch and watch my fave race in Talledaga on the TV box, and just chill. Lisa went with Sue to a Yoga class, to relax. Go figure. Have a great week everyone, more news as it happens from the reporter with the face for radio.
