Back home again

(Feb. 26, 2011) My husband, Jack, and I are back from a week in Charleston, S.C., more specifically, the Isle of Palms. The N.J. cold and snow were more this winter than we could stand. Many weeks we were trapped at home by ice: "Better safe than sorry."
Although the weather in South Carolina was not hot or beach like by any means, at least we could see grass and could breathe outside in temperatures averaging in the 70s during the day -- actually a heat wave compared to here.
But it's still good to be back home. Why is it your own home always looks like a palace when you return from a vacation? And your own bed is heavenly no matter how great your vacation accommodations were?
While away, I still was able to check out the 60-some blogs at Recorder Community Newspapers. As you know they're located right here at the website of the 15 online newspapers. Reading the news and the blogs is a great way to keep in touch with what's happening locally back home.
Actually, I could have blogged from S.C. as well, but decided to take a little break and enjoy the longtime friends who again had invited us to stay with them in their adopted ocean community. They had invited also other friends for a few days and we had fun seeing the sights of Charleston with them too. We also walked along the beach and ate lots of steamed oysters that you can't get anywhere else.
