Big Fire In Myrtle Beach

Thank God it is, at this point a good bit north of our new house.

We took Albert to orientation at Coastal Carolina University last week. The college was welcoming but the sessions were long and boring. The good news was that we got to spend time in our new house. It is beautiful, open, bright and airy. We all were impressed. We pulled into the SC house around 9 or so Thursday night. And wandered around this bright, gorgeous house that had no beds, in fact no furniture of any kind. This was the first time in a long time I slept on the floor, not that I really slept. I spent way too much of the night wandering around a dark empty house. I couldn't read because there was nowhere to sit and keep warm. I had brought down a number of blankets, but we were using them as mattress and blankets both. It was a long night.

Luckily we had planned well and had the basic furniture delivered. A bedroom set for Ben, 3 mattress sets (one for Ben, one forAlbert and one for us) a sofa, an armchair and foot rest, and a table and chairs. Life was good.
