Well, bless my soul, I haven't blogged since Sunday.  We are in South Carolina and I am starting to adopt those southern sayings.  We are in lovely weather, sorry to all you northerners who are in the cold.  Jack picked a perfect spot to spend the week.  We are halfway between Savannah and Charleston.  We spent Tuesday in Charleston and what a great city.  We took a walking tour and had a wonderful guide.  Very informative but also very personable.  We had a small group, just 6 of us and that made things easy and fun.  The historic district is full of homes and businesses that have been preserved.  We saw homes, businesses, churches and museums and our brains were exploding with info when we finished the tour.  Jack and I then walked some more and found a nice place to have an early dinner.  Was a full day.  We left around 10 and got home after 7. 
Wednesday we decided that laundry was our first priority.  It took us quite awhile cause there were only 3 washers and we had lots and lots of dirty clothes.  After that we needed to find a grocery store.  That wasn't as easy as we thought it would be.  We decided that we would go to Beaufort and so off we went.  22 miles later we found a Piggly Wiggly and did our shopping. Then we drove around a little and found that the town of Beaufort is a nice little city with some beautiful homes and a nice street of stores so we are going back there this week. 
Today was Savannah, GA and I loved it!!!!  Jack too!! What a beautiful city.  No big skyscrapers and a wonderful Historic Society that has done a wonderful job saving the homes and businesses from as far back as 1706.  We took a tour that we could get on and off so we could explore the area and so we did.  We went to the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and Jack has pictures he will post for you all to see. Then back on the trolley to the City Market, an area of small business stores in the old buildings that have been preserved.  We walked to the river district from there and went in and out of the stores located in the old warehouses where the cotton brokers worked.  There were cobble stone streets and walkways where the cotton brokers looked down at the wagons of cotton and set the prices for the world.  We left our home around 10 and got back at 5 again today.  I urge you all to put Savannah on your bucket list.  We have some great pictures of the houses, haunted and not.  We also went to lunch at the Distillery, a craft beer restaurant.  We picked this place because our friend Ken Deshong designed and built the back bar and we wanted to see.  He is a master craftsman and all I can say is WOW!  You will also see it when Jack posts the pictures.  Also the food was real good.  I had crab bites and Jack had Ham Hocks.  This is a fun fun town.
Well tomorrow we are headed back to Beaufort for the afternoon and then on Saturday we will be heading to Hilton Head.  Will keep you posted

Happy Sunday,
Today is the 1st of December and the last day we will be in Asheville, NC.  We have had a wonderful time here.  One of the most beautiful areas of the country.  I have always liked the Blue Ridge area.  We have enjoyed this visit and will probably come back some day.  Would love to see it in the late spring or in the fall. 
We spent all day Friday at the Biltmore Estate.  It is beautiful.  We arrived at the ticket office around 10:30 and got our tickets.  We had 11:45 reservations and so had time to wander around the ticket office.  It was decorated for Christmas and had some lovely views.  We then watched a short movie about the Vanderbilts and the Biltmore and then drove 3 miles up to the parking lots.  We got a good spot and caught the shuttle bus to the mansion.  We walked around outside and Jack took some pictures and then we hit the restrooms (of course) and got in line for our tour.  We rented headsets inside and that was the best $10. we spent.  The tour took a good 2 and a half hours and very informative.  The rooms are just amazing and the decorations took my breath away.  Jack took some pictures but not sure if he was supposed to but we did anyway.  After the tour we had some lunch which turned out to be our dinner also and then walked around the shops.  We then got our car and drove to the Antler Hill Village and Winery.  We walked around the shops there and stopped for some home made ice cream.  It was wonderful and the reason that lunch became dinner also.  I couldn't finish mine so Jack had his and the rest of mine.  We passed up the tour of the working farm and headed to the winery.  Toured the winery but passed up the wine tasting.  The lines were long and I found out in the gift shop that you can taste any wine you are interested in buying.  I could have spent a lot of money in there and have thought of going back a few times but resisted.  After getting some wine we headed home for the night.
Saturday brought another beautiful day so we headed into Asheville's downtown area and walked around there.  We covered quite a few blocks and some wonderful shops.  Very crafty area and lots to see.  We had a lovely lunch in the Grove Arcade and then walked around the shops in that area.  Headed home around three and relaxed.
Today was a rest day as we are leaving in the morning for Yemassee, SC.  We will be there for a week and will be visiting Charleston, SC, Savannah GA and Hilton Head.  Will keep you posted.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and that you all are looking forward to Christmas.
