Good morning! Today is my daughter's field trip to a state forest and I'm fortunate enough to be able to attend. Of course I've been instructed by my daughter to make sure I give her her time with her friends on the trip. Yep, now she's growing up. Coffee with sugar in the raw and soymilk so far......happy almost Friday! Jeannie
Jeannie, thanks for introducing me to my state. I have never heard of that forest. My knowledge of your part of the state is really lacking. We enjoy going on the Cascade Trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway where the different trees have identifying signs beside them.
Ladies, this is where Mr. VA and I spent many Sunday afternoons when we were dating. The view of the mountains is from the parking lot and there were picnic tables where you could sit and enjoy that view while eating my oversalted chicken. When he ate that chicken and didn't make a fuss, I knew he was a keeper.
Map of the Horry County Fire - Local - The Sun News
Ladies, I found this website on another thread. This is the fire in Myrtle Beach. Our timeshare is at the ocean end of the Veterans Highway. That pile of fire signs is where the Veterans Highway meets Highway 17. If the fire had crossed the Highway 17, our timeshare would have been just a hair to its left. There are several green fire signs just on the other side of highway 17 from 151 Seawatch Drive where we stayed last April. Glad we are not down there now. We were on the 18th floor, so we could see most of the areas in the pictures from the little cameras on the website. That is just too close for comfort.
Lunch was Ham, slaw, and buttered kaiser roll plus coffee and milk.
Dinner was a chicken bologna sandwich--with tomato and onion slices, cheetos, coffee and milk.
Confession--We had cherry vanilla ice cream too.
We are concerned about a person that worked with Mr. VA a few years ago. He and his wife live in what may have been an evacuated area. I told Mr. VA this afternoon that I had e-mailed them and he said that he had e-mailed them this morning. We have not received a reply.
Izzy, this sounds too much like California, doesn't it. Some of these fires are in areas that probably cannot be reached by the fire trucks because of the marshy condition of the ground.
