Go Tigers!!! We went to the Orange Bowl in Miami…wow, what an AWESOME game (unless of course your are an Oklahoma fan – tough lose, two years in a row)! Really looking forward to our Tigers taking on the Crimson Tide from the University of Alabama on Monday night (do I sound like Keith Jackson?). […]

Say your sweet goodbyes as we muddle through what remains of the 2015 Lake Keowee Real Estate calendar year. Who’s working, who’s on vacation, who knows (who’s on first)! I always find this to be an exceedingly difficult few days as I try and maneuver through the after-Christmas/almost-New Year’s “work week”. The good news is […]

“It’s practically here!” is a quote from my all time favorite Christmas story/cartoon “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. Remarkably, I haven’t been able to find it anywhere on TV this year to record it. Very Grinch-tastic you rights holders, guess they assume we’ll all buy a “Digital Copy” for our “Digital Copy Library”. Only problem […]

Single digits. We’re getting close, so close I can actually smell it. To say that my children are really excited would be like saying that water is wet but at their age I’m fairly certain it’s mostly because they will be out of school. The weather is far from “polar” unless you mean “bi-polar” because […]

First and foremost, congratulations to our Clemson Tigers! What a fantastic season so far! 13 games, 13 victories! For all of you Heisman voters, if you had to start a college football team from scratch and you could choose only one player who would you choose? Of course you said Deshaun Watson because you’re very […]

Until Christmas, that is. We trust everyone had a Thanksgiving to remember. I have to say ours was quite fantastic, in fact, it bordered on phantasmagorical (I love my thesaurus)! While Mike spent most of his time in town, I took the family to Florida to visit the in-laws. That gave me an opportunity to […]

I tuned into my kids’ favorite radio station a few days back and was pleased to not hear any tripe being pushed on us by the music industry that would basically include little more than a drum machine and insanely moronic lyrics. It’s actually an adult hits station local to the Lake Keowee area (I’ve […]

It KEEPS raining! Wow, Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee and South Carolina in general are getting the next decade’s rations of rainfall. While it’s not raining pitchforks, we are still coming off this week and a half of the wet stuff with only a short respite before it begins again. The good news was the rain stopped […]

In the not too distant days of yore, we here in the Lake Keowee and Jocassee area of beautiful Upstate South Carolina lived under drought conditions for months (years?) on end. I think it’s safe to say that as of this exact moment, we can lift the red flag and declare our area drought-free. I have […]

These titles describe a good portion of fall around here but what they fail to convey is that it’s peak leaf season! I love driving around with the kids and pointing out all of the beautiful trees decked out in full eye-popping splendor. It’s a veritable cornucopia of glorious shades and hues all throughout the forest. […]
