Seems an appropriate title: One year ago today, right around this time, Drew and I had just checked into the Hampton Inn in Okatie after an overnight drive and dropping Abbey THE dog off at May River Pet Resort for what turned out to be a 5 day stay. We were both completely shot, Drew more than I since he had done a bulk of the driving, however, I, by virtue of my then 69 years, got to claim to be more tired!

The next few days were spinning so fast it is tough to really remember all that happened. Sue arrived a few days later, having engineered the load out and cleaning of our 20 years at West Rocks Road, here are the last two views she sent me as she was leaving to spend her last night in CT with a friend.

It was not until 8/27 that we ended up closing and actually moving in but I do consider it a full year that I’ve been in SC…. The amazing thing is that it all came full circle these past few days, Drew, out of the blue and much to my surprise, flew down to help celebrate my 70th birthday and we ended up having dinner at exactly the same places we had our first two meals together just after Sue arrived. (He stayed an extra day as his flight home was cancelled due to the nasty weather here on the 22nd) So I dropped him off at the airport almost exactly, a year later, when I pulled out of the driveway in CT for the last time.

525,000 moments so dear…

It’s time now to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let’s celebrate
Remember a year in the life… well you know the rest….

Cheers to many more moments to come!!
