Comments:

We moved to SC in 1989, lived in Taylors, SC for 18 years, built a new home(in the country) just out from Pelzer, SC. I have worked at BJU University Press for 21 1/2 + years. We have 13 grandchildren ages 20 to 6. We have built a barn (my garage is finally cleaned out), mow 4 acres, keep grandchildren, and then, when I have time I will read, read and then read some more. To say the least we have not traveled much (as we wanted to do) -- just some week-end trips.

Just a note about my mother-in-law. She lived with us almost 2 years, before she had a massive stroke on Feb. 4, and died on Feb. 12. She will be missed greatly. She was a sweet, loving lady.

Robert and I at our son's wedding. They were married in Gassaway mansion here in Greenville SC and it was an absolutely beautiful place to have their ceremony.

My first grandchild, Clara Clark and I at my son's second marriage. She is really a sweet heart and her Mimi loves her "bunches."

My son, Chris, and his second wife, Deanna. We really love her. She is now studying to be a pharmacist. They met while serving in the Iraq war. She has 2 children by her first husband and I do not have a photo of Little Chris and Zoe, and yes, we love them just as if they were our own.
