Beaufort is beautiful for sure, pretty special. Hope you get the chance to go someday!
Read that fun fact, very cool!
Hope you have a great evening!
Thanks, you too!
Oooooooh, I bet you’re really looking forward to that long vacation!
Things are good here other than springtime is too far away. LOL! Do...not...like...winter.
“Ah, Beaufort. Loved it.”
Beautiful Beaufort By The Sea - 26 miles from Yemassee!
Indeed it’ll make you love the Low-Country! Only downside for me is neck pain from look’n up at every flyover.
Howdy, PRO!
How was your day? Still nippy up there?
We’re ridin’ the roller coaster again ..... warmish today and it’ll be cold tomorrow.

the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
I did absolutely, (almost), nothing today. I wasn't tired, there just weren't any pressing issues or errands to attend to today.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Weather has been chilly and cloudy, warming up a bit by the weekend.
Howz about you?
Howdy, Kathy.
Did getting some homework done last night make for an easier day at work?
I hope the glistening streets there are just wet and not icy. It got pretty warm there today.
My uncle (USMC) is buried there at the national cemetery. He was a demolitions man in the South Pacific campaign. On Guadalcanal for the heavy lifting. Took sufficient injuries that he was forced to muster out. He never got over the disappointment of leaving the Corps. A great guy, always a Marine.
RIP Robert J Hodges.
Stationed there during Cuban Missile Crisis. Our brand new, just off the line F8U-2NE planes came back beat to hell and back.
One of my sons is stationed there now.
Nice to have a day with no pressing issues or errands to run.
So you’ll have a warmer weekend too? They say we will but we just have to get through a few nippy days first. Tomorrow will be the coldest.
A large chunk of the afternoon was spent taking three of the lil girlies to the vet to see if he could help them feel better. They had a horrible weekend with a nasty tummy bug. Holli started eating a little this morning but she went with the other two any way. All got anti-nausea shots and sub-q fluids. Hope this helps them out.
Now sitting here getting Christmas cards ready to mail. It SHOULD have already been done. *sigh*
I was there in 1981 with H&MS-31. On, and that forgettable few months in 77-78 at PI.
P.I. was my dad’s last duty station, 64-65. Actually, it was a pretty cool place to be a 13 yo dependent.
Very awesome and clever!!
Howdy, LUV.
All set for your trip tomorrow? I wish you were going up there under more pleasant circumstances.
