Greetings from South Carolina

Hi everyone! Thanks to the Herculean efforts of Dad and Mom, I'm happily settled in here. I have a really cute house, and even cuter room. Tomorrow is my last day of training, and then I start classes on Thursday. I'll be teaching that day (I'm lucky enough to have a TTH schedule) and I'll also go to the class I've been looking foward to most (the novel pre-1800 with Dr. Jarrells). Some observations about the south:

1. It is so hot that the front of my knees sweat here.
2. It is beautifully green with tons and tons of pine trees, like Seattle.
3. They have rocking chairs rather than benches in their airport.
4. The main grocery store is called Piggly Wiggly. I have a membership card to Piggly Wiggly.

Doors are open to any visitors!

Isn't Piggly Wiggly the store that Delmer knocked over before he was saved?

"Delmer I thought you said you was innocent of those charges!"
"Well I lied... and I been forgiven of that too!"

Name it claim it.

Actually the line is

"I thought you said you was innocent of those charges!"
"Well I was lyin... and the preacher said that that sin's been warshed away too!"

Wasn't Miss Daisy on her way to the Piggly Wiggly when she wrecked her car in "Driving Miss Daisy"? :)

(A fabulous movie, by the way. Highly recommend it.)

Also, congratulations, Anna on your newest adventure!

South Carolina is green and besutiful. When I went it was in June and I don't remember it being overly hot then, but then again, I had just come from Arizona. The rocking chairs sound nice! You should post some pictures soon, of the city and your house. It would be fun to be able to picture you there. I remember my older brother joking that he always felt like less of a man when he had to walk into the Piggly Wiggly. Funny.
