Greetings from beautiful South Carolina!  What a wonderful Saturday.  The weather was in the mid- 70's with a little wind but nothing to serious.  The weather channel said we might get some wind today from Hurricane Sandy passing by  out in the Atlantic.  I spent the day cleaning, reading and helping Doyle do a few things.  I just had no desire to go anywhere!  He built me a really nice step platform to place at the bottom of the RV steps...complete with a welcome mat attached to it!  What a guy.  He also sprayed the perimeter of our site to help keep the bugs at bay.  The famous Palmetto bugs are found everywhere here.  Also commonly known as cockroaches.  We have decided the best way to combat them is to keep them out in the first place. It makes me uncomfortable to even talk about them  let alone living with them!!!

The campground we are staying in is only about 12 minutes from the mission office and the local mall.  It is huge!  We are about 10 minutes from the chapel where we are in support of the Chapin Branch.

We walked around the campground for the first time tonight.  It has a large pond on the opposite side from us full of carp and turtles and lots of other things I probably don't want to know about.  The squirrels are everywhere and just as busy as can be.  I watch them running about and jumping from tree to tree.  It's fun!

Our campground has electric meters on each monthly site.  The rates here are over 13 cents a kilowatt hour, so the electricity is provided to a $100 limit and then we pay anything over that.  Certainly not like Douglas County PUD.

 
Our spot for now.
 
 
And finally a gorgeous sunset to cap off a simply lovely day!
