Reconnected to the world!

Friday's drive through the Carolina's took 6 hours. We managed to avoid the freeways the whole way. Scenery was beautiful. Spring is unfolding here. Daffodils are out and many bushes are blooming. This is an area where pickup trucks rule and yesterday's couch has a new home on the front porch.
Little towns have quaint names like Boonville, Yadkinville and Mocksville. Towns consist of a general store selling drygoods and amo ---- to shoot squirrels ? right, and a garage station (not just selling gas --- a full service station).

We arrived in Myrtle Beach at noon Friday. Stopped at Costco and ordered our tires. Then on to our place of residence for the next 2 weeks. The house is perfect. Big rooms and comfy beds. It took no time to unpack and settle in.
 

The house is pretty well equipped. When you rent these properties you are never sure just what to expect. There were only 2 issues.........

The TV was a 1990 model. Big and ugly. This was quickly remedied with a trip to Costco. Now the TV stand sports a 42 inch HD LED  model that looks and sounds great.
The house also lacked internet. However once the owners placed a call to  their cable provider we were able to buy a 1 month hook up so we are reconnected to the world . Amazing how dependant we are on this service ...... I think we suffered internet withdrawal over the past 3 days.

Life is good and we are enjoying the lack of snow here ------ looking ahead to warmer days by the week end. Lots of plans. Plenty to do. Never a dull moment.
Who knows what adventures tomorrow will bring.
