That’s a play on Silent Night. Not a good one but there it is. I learned early on that if you have to explain a joke, odds are better than average it isn’t a good joke. So let’s pretend I didn’t explain anything and you got a small chuckle from it. The reason for the […]

The lights are all up (at least ours…and no, I didn’t go all Clark Griswold), the Christmas trees are in place all around Lake Keowee, heck I’ve even finished the gift shopping. What’s left? The event itself. Yes, Christmas is almost upon us and shortly after that well begin the new year (2017??? Already?!?!?!). I […]

Good news for the air quality and homes above Highway 11 as the Pinnacle Mountain Fire is 100% contained! Great job and thank you to our brave responders! Bad new is five million dollars of the taxpayer’s cash goes up in smoke. There are a couple of lessons we can learn here, make sure your […]

It’s finally here, rain. As most of you are aware, we here around Lake Keowee and Lake Jocassee have been without the wet stuff for over 2 months. And when I say without I really mean without, bone dry, coughing dust, me at the beach after I saw the movie Jaws as a kid…you know, […]

Another beautiful week of weather! As we sit here enjoying yet another day with highs in the low 70’s and leaves bursting with color, I can’t help but think what a wonderful time of year this is around Lake Keowee. Fortunately for us, quite a few others seem to agree as we’ve put another house […]

Fun-filled weekend on Lakes Keowee and Jocassee this weekend as temperatures climbed back up into the low 80’s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Talk about extending the Lake Keowee season (jealous much?)! I’m sure we put at least an extra 12 hours of run time on the boat and jet skis. Needless to say (I […]

Another day in the mid-70’s around Lakes Keowee and Jocassee and I have absolutely no idea how that relates to India (just sayin’), it appears we are stuck on Chamber of Commerce days for Lake Keowee for the foreseeable future. I’ve gotta tell ya it’s fine as wine and bold as gold and we love […]

That fall we just had was awesome. Here’s hoping we have another that lasts but soon! Lake’s Keowee and Jocassee really show out in the fall and if we happen to have two this year then lucky us!. Right now we’re back to the 80’s (not the 1980s…nobody could stomach that) I guess summer just […]

Hopefully all of you guys are safe and sound after Hurricane Matthew blew through. I know the lower part of our state was hit very hard with lots of rain and damaging wind. In fact, I heard one of my friends say that felt that he and Matthew were close enough that he could call […]
