Flypaper thoughts South Carolina edition

·      One week into our annual trip south

·      Have used up my data looking at patterns on the road

·      Or searching for style ideas for my new style

·      I am always looking for my new style

·      Currently I am working on one called

·      Whatever is still clean

·      My husband gets texts from my son

·      They share podcasts on the intelligence of mushrooms

·      Do you know that a mushroom fed oatmeal designed the  Tokyo subway system?

·      Don't feel bad a lot of people don't

·      I can send you the link

·      How could I have not have heard of this before?

·      Discovered the state park we are in in South Carolina has a snowbird monthly rate

·      For December, January, and February

·      Explains the Canadians

·      Folks in shorts and T shirts

·      Identifiable next to the locals in wool hats and gloves

·      Woman a few sites over is delighted to find out that the person in her next site

·      Lives on the same street as her cousin's uncle's sister

·      Back home in Moncton

·      I am in constant contact with my own network

·      I get texts of pictures of the snow storms

·      News my niece and her sweetheart

·      Who is also my son-in-law's nephew

·      Are moving into my basement

·      You would think I was from Moncton

·      My husband is in his element

·      He runs this rv like it is his own submarine

·      When I step in here it is more like enlisting

·      Things are stowed, not put away

·      I am seeing a lot of walking around with power tools

·      And a happy guy

·      Man loves his activities

·      Bought himself a vintage sewing machine yesterday in a thrift shop

·      It was $8.00 because it was broken

·      He actually took it apart and fixed it right there in the store

·      Attracting attention of a few older men

·      I went to look at glassware

·      I hear there is such a thing as food grade anti-freeze

·      Don't panic

·      But I am not kidding

·      He brings me dinner on a tray when I am writing

·      Every rv has a dog

·      Some have three

·      I lie happily in my bed here in my sub under the stars

·      And feel I am sleeping in a colony of dogs

·      Accompanied by their drivers

·      I shower in the bath house

·      With the other Canadians

·      Thrilled we don't walk there in snow

·      The sound of the shower in the rv worries Daisy

·      Sometimes it takes 15 minutes for the water to get hot

·      But I have the time

·      And when I walk back in the dark I look at the stars

·      And hear the dogs snoring
