The office closed early on Friday afternoon. I stayed until about 445. Finished a decent amount of stuff. Went home and mowed the lawn even though it was still a little wet from the rain. Folded clothes and did more laundry and started packing. Spaghetti for supper. Did the dishes and didn't really sit down until after 1030.
Slept until 8 am then started packing the car. Took C forever and sure enough the bad thunderstorm hit. Didn't depart until 11 am. Rain and bad traffic on 20 west. Rain didn't stop until after Augusta.
We had stopped at the Chick-fil-A in Thomson, and I topped off the tank. After that we drove straight through. Got off 20 east after Aiken and cut down through Wagener SC and Orangeburg across 26 to 95, southeast to Georgetown, and north to Pawleys Island.
Ceil's aunt's condo is about two miles from the beach, near Waccamaw High School. Fifteen years ago Will played a summer game on their field. Ceil's college roommate lives a mile away, in a gated community.
After unpacking we drove around. Took Winnie to see the ocean, but she tried to avoid the waves. Ate at Moe's BBQ, a little local spot with "live entertainment". Got groceries at Publix. Went back and plopped down. C watched a Hallmark movie. I dozed off. Went to bed at midnight.
Finished a book by the daughter of Willowcreek Church founder Bill Hybils. Connie Morris had read it. The book was just okay - several essays about her move from Chicago to NYC, where her husband went to seminary. The best part was the postscript, where she gave an itinerary for a 3 day trip to NYC.
On the beach I'm reading Yogi Berra's book "When You Come to A Fork in the Road, Take It".
