Georgia On My Mind

Hey there! We're back! I missed you guys! How the heck are ya? We find ourselves in Stonewall Mountain, Georgia, for the next four nights, having driven from Givhans Ferry State Park in South Carolina. Despite several days of rain, we've been busy, and so I have a LOT to tell you. For now, we'll just get reacquainted, okay? Allow me to introduce you to my cat, Smitty. This is where we left off back at Huntington Beach State Park the morning we left. He was able to get out for one last walk before we drove off.

It was a pretty short hop to the Givhans Ferry State Park, but man...were we in the boondocks! We had water and electricity, but no wi-fi and no cell signal. And it rained, and rained, and rained. It rained hard, pretty much the whole time we were there. We expected it, and so we had our minds right. Fortunately, we had satellite so we could watch TV and a few movies we've recorded along the way.

We kept busy during our time there. We visited a quilt shop. Thanks to my friend Anne for putting me onto this one. You know I'll tell you about that in a separate post.

During a spell of sprinkles (as opposed to pouring rain), we took a short hike around the campground.

And we drove into Charleston and barely scratched the surface of the tip of the iceberg there.

There was a sewing day and a day for chilling.

I finished Earlene.

And then I got back to work on this block for the Sundress quilt. You might remember I worked about 2/3 of this large block before I decided to put it aside for awhile. Now it's turn has come again,  and I'll finish it up this time around.

With so much rain and inside time, I filled the whole hoop and I've moved on to the next section. I stitched for so long that I wore a blister on my finger.

This morning we packed it all in. Here's where I left Smitty when I shut the door on the RV this morning. He was just getting ready to head into his favorite riding spot between the bed and the bedroom wall.

About halfway into today's drive, we crossed over the Savannah River...

and into the Great State of Georgia.

And it's already official...added to the side of the RV just before I sat down here to write.

So, you can see I have a lot of catching up to do, but I'll do it in separate posts. For now, just know that we're back, and I'm catching up on reading your blogs and your comments. We're here for the next four nights.

As for future travels, we have reservations for the four days of the Christmas weekend near Savannah. We have about a week to figure out between here and there, and so we'll be doing some studying up on the sights to see in Georgia.
