My computer hasn't been working, sorry I was away...

I can't get my computer to post pictures at the moment, but I'll catch you up anyway on life in SC. Ken and I are keeping very busy.

The forklift business has been very very busy. Ken is a wonder. I am also looking into a new product we found in Greece to sell. It is unique and gorgeous and no one in the USA is selling it, so I'm researching it further. It was shown earlier in the blog... it is the jade vases shown back in the Greece photos... anyway, I'm still checking it all out. But it just might make a really neat little business for me.

Of course I am still working on my book too, but with everything else going on, it is moving at a snails pace. Basically I have my time divided up in multiple directions and occasionally overwhelm myself, but life is good and I'm enjoying all of it. I am a very blessed and lucky woman, albeit a very busy one. Who knew retirement could be so busy?

Fall is starting to turn into a SC winter, sometimes it is actually in the 30's in the morning, but it always comes back up to great by mid-day. The leaves are peaking and starting to fall. I am enjoying learning golf. It is much more of a challenge then I ever imagined. I play with some really nice women and that makes it lots of fun. So far I am just playing a 9 hole course.

We also joined a newcomers activity group which promises to be lots of fun, 12 couples, who will each take 1 month to choose an activity or a field trip that we all do. They are an interesting group and very diversified, and it lasts for 3 years, so we should all really get to know each other. We had our first get together and it was a ball, now we have a Christmas Party planned for next month.

I've also joined a Writers Group that meets twice a month. So my life is getting very hectic, but also very interesting.

Ken and I went to see the Trans Siberian Christmas show last night, it was fabulous. The light show is unbelievable and the energy and music of the artists amazing. I highly recommend that you see them if they visit your area.

Ken's house still hasn't sold, but we are hoping to start our new house in Dec. or Jan. The architect will give us final plans by Thanksgiving and we hope the neighborhood will approve it shortly after it is submitted, and the septic and foundation people will be ready to go by then. But in custom home building time frames are all variable......

Love to all and I'll try to post some pictures soon. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
