In case you missed it somewhere
along the line, we have moved to the South Carolina LowCountry. As much
as we had grown accustomed to the East Tennessee hills, a new
employment opportunity was calling and I answered that ring. I started
work in North Charleston in June of 2004, and after selling the house
in Kingsport, Shelby and Lenore joined me in September. We bought a
house here in October, and delivered our last truckload out of
Tennessee storage before December. . . Of course, we now have Carolina
storage (too much stuff) . . .
2004 was a very complicated and
busy year !
