....that I posted something so that someone doesn't think I'm dead.
What with the holidays, and travel, and work work work I haven't had time to think about blogging. I take that back, I have thought about it at odd times, I just haven't made the time to actually do it.
The holidays were great. Christmas with the kids was wonderful as usual, we all went to Jenni's house for Christmas Eve and Christmas day and exchanged gifts and ate good food. The weather was a typical Carolina Christmas, that is to say warm and cloudy, but nice with no rain. Of course, Phoenix was a joy.
On Thursday after Christmas, Hilda and I hit the road down to Charleston for a long weekend. We stayed at a beautiful carriage house in the historic district, so we could walk to most of the things we wanted to see. On Saturday, we took the boat over to Fort Sumter. I hadn't been there since high school, and Hilda never had, so it was very interesting to us. Unfortunately, it rained during the trip, so we ended up spending most of the allotted hour inside but we enjoyed it anyway.
On the way home, we spent a night in North Myrtle Beach and visited with Hilda's brother Joe. That's always a treat. If anyone is interested, I have posted hundreds of pictures from the holidays and our Charleston trip at our photo site at http://earlwooten.smugmug.com/ .
Since the holidays, I've been pretty pre-occupied with work and going pretty hard. so I haven't had much time for much else.
Sean, Jantaporn and Phoenix are in Thialand for a few weeks. Jantaporn and Phoenix went early in the month, and we took Sean to the airport to join them on the 14th. Jantaporn's parents had not seen Phoenix, so we are very happy they finally managed to get over there for an extended visit.
We had a couple of real cold days in Duck around the first week in January (well, below freezing at night) but other than that the weather has been great. I guess there is an upside to global warming for those of us who hate cold weather.
That's about it for now. Check back soon.
