December 2022 Home Front Activities and Carrying On

[Bud Kennedy]

Taking down and packing up the Christmas decorations today.  We have removed all the ornaments and lights and the tree has been packed back into its box and now back in its storage spot in the garage.  It will take a lot longer to pack up the ornaments but they will be done and put away tomorrow.

Today is a cloudy day with a west breeze with the current temp of 73.  Rain is in the forecast and should start about mid afternoon and be spotty for the rest of the night.  Myrtle Beach being a party town there is lots going on up at the beach and down around Murrells Inlet.  We will have a lot of fireworks going off all around us even though our development has a rule against them.  The other communities however allow them so it will be plenty noisy from about 8pm through the rest of the night till at least 2 AM.

We are not planning on doing anything tonight just a pizza and some tv.  It sure is nice having our normal weather back and not that yankee stuff we had last week.  I could not imagine ever having to live up north again even though I was born and raised there.  North Central Ohio was a frozen mess during the winter.  We lived in the country and snow plowing usually did not happen.  We had to use a tractor to plow our lane and often it would drift close right away and we would have to stay at it for days during those storms especially during early March when the big ones tended to hit.  Whew, makes me cold just to think about it.
