This was our first drive of significant distance in the motor home, and I was very pleased to see how well the Dolphin handled going through the Appalachian mountains between Tennessee and North Carolina. She hauled us and the car up and over with barely a shrug.
We lived in Columbia for many years before moving to Tennessee, and have stayed in touch with several South Carolina friends who we were hoping to see. As it turned out, this has been a busy and fun-filled week!
We caught up with Sheila and
Teresa over lunch at the Mediterranean Tea Room. And we spent a lot
of time with Rhonda - she took us out on her boat at sunset, fed us
several wonderful meals (and lots of wine), accompanied us to
Octoberfest in Newberry, and hosted a dinner get-together with Sylvia and Jeanie. We also got to visit with Catherine, and have a delicious brunch with Mimi. 
Dreher Island State Park is on Lake Murray, and has two campground sections - A and B. We're staying in section A, in a site on the water. This is a lovely setting and we hope to camp here again sometime. The dogs have enjoyed it also - we took them swimming, which they love.
We also put Ursa's ashes into Lake Murray. Ursa, our much loved dog for 18 years, loved to swim in Lake Murray. And so it seemed fitting that her ashes become part of the lake. She passed away in 2009 and we've waited since then to go to Lake Murray.This week has flown by... We're leaving tomorrow for Charleston, where we'll stay two nights so we can visit the Angel Oak Tree and enjoy some low country food.
