We are home after a delightful visit with our two grandchildren in Charleston, SC. We are so proud of them. Callan, age 17 is a senior in the Charleston School of the Arts. She is an acting major and spent a month at Julliard this summer. Brock is 14 and a straight A freshman in High School. Son Jon is seeing some uptick in boat sales and we had a fun filled dinner with the him, Rosemarie and the grandkids.
We arrived home yesterday, October 16th at 1PM. Spent a very hot and humid afternoon removing a ton of stuff from the RV followed by a stupendous dinner at Joann Kidd's with the Dines as well.
