Katie and Tim in South Carolina

Family, Life

Well, it’s been almost 2 months since Katie and Tim relocated to South Carolina. Katie is in heaven with the heat and sunshine. It took Tim a bit longer to adapt to the heat (at least he’s not setting the AC on 60 degrees anymore!) despite the fact that he went to college in Florida. Katie took this photo of Folly Beach, a 20 minute distance from their apartment:

Tim moved up very rapidly at his job, from sales clerk to top sales in a couple of weeks, to assistant manager in less than 2 months! Way to go Tim!

Katie, still recovering from her “slave days” in a cubicle, decided to work in the food industry for a while. She’s working as a waitress and a barista for now. Of course, she’s still as artistically talented as ever. Here is the bar chalkboard she drew for the restaurant:

Vin and I plan on going down at some point to visit, but after hearing about the giant-sized Palmetto bug they found in their shower, maybe not!

Ragtime ? The Musical, in Concert

Culture, Life, Music, Reviews

Come see Ragtime ? The Musical, in Concert! It’s tonight, at Marblehead Middle School. This show is fantastic, and even though we’re not doing the show with a full set, we have all of our leads in costumes, some excellent props, and a full orchestra! The chorus is awesome (and huge!), and many of our leads are equity.

I cannot believe how absolutely lucky I am to be a part of this. Please come! It’s a fundraiser for HAWC, so your money will be even better spent.

A nest of baby rabbits!

Animals, Family, Life, Pets

Quite accidentally, I found a nest of baby rabbits yesterday outside our house! Well, to be truthful, I didn’t find it first; Katie’s dog did. Right here is where the momma rabbit built her babies’ nest. What’s strange is that with all the woods around our house and neighborhood, the mom picks our yard!

I was concerned about the health of one of the babies after the dog found the nest, so I came back out today to check on him. There are at least four of them in there, and none seemed to be injured, so I am hoping he is fully recovered. Poor thing – I hope he has no memory of it!

And another shot of the nest, with a bit more of their cover removed.

From the look of them, they are only a few days old!!

We are going to keep a good eye on the nest to make sure their momma keeps coming back to take care of them. I know she was back last night based on the way the nest looked today – it was way more covered than I had left it yesterday.
