Joe and I drove from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to Columbia, South Carolina today. On the way, we stopped into Bishopville, SC to tour the South Carolina Cotton Museum, and the Lee County Veterans Museum (housed in the same building). The museum is a privately held non-profit (501-c3). Joe said the information about World War II was different than Joe’s previous history sources. Joe reads extensively on topics of interest so he will go back and review other sources to get a clearer understanding.
Joe enjoyed his visit ($4.00 for Senior Citizens) while I read in the car. It was a beautiful day to read with the windows down.
We made an earlier stop at Sparky’s Country Store on South
Highway 501 in Marion. Their candy inventory was among the best I have come
across and I didn’t buy any. I couldn’t choose and buying it all was not an
option. Sparky’s is also known for their fireworks inventory. The store is
advertised as over 20,000 square feet with 5,000 square feet dedicated to their
fireworks showroom. Joe was checking out some product that had BOOM! In big
letters on it. It looked like some type of gunpowder. I grabbed his hand and
led him away with comments about guys liking big booms.
We are in Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, for the next couple of days visiting my mother’s youngest sister and her family. My aunt Janet and her husband, Doug live nearby in Pelion, SC. We plan to connect with them and their youngest child, Angela (Angel) tomorrow late morning. On Saturday we will visit their youngest son, Kurt, and his wife, April. On Monday we will head to Greenville, SC and visit their oldest son, Troy, and his wife Candace. Monday evening we plan to arrive in Davidson, NC to visit friends for a few days.
We are both feeling more rested today!
