Anyone ready for a swim?

Went for a walk around the "Lake".... haven't seen such "Green" water before !  Does that mean they are eco-conscience??!!

Going over the bridge at Hilton Head SC

Yesterday after visiting a Baptist Church in Ridgeland  SC...we traveled South to Hilton Head.  Had dinner at Outback in Beauford then "Tootled" around Hilton Head Beach...which is pretty "Upper Crust...hoytie - toytie ".  As we were headed home near the end of our explorations ...we saw these cloud formations...

Jeff & Nadia's basement ....

This is the "project" Jeff had available for Filbert to work on when we got to their home...the "Before " picture was with good ole Georgia Red Clay piled up behind the concrete blocks....the red dirt in the middle of the floor is the results from digging out the clay.  2 Days & 2 guys digging makes a difference !
