Friday Fun School

I've been sharing our week of fun in several blog posts, but I thought I would anchor Friday Fun School with this one . . .  and share with you, a few of my favorite things from our week in South Carolina.

Reminders that freedom is never free . . . 

And for every hero we honor, there are many who are never honored, simply because there are no witnesses left to tell their stories.

 Beautiful hands, creating . . .

beautiful works of art.

Nothing, and I do mean nothing, is better than New York style pepperoni pizza and Orange Crush.

Swinging on the moon . . .

and eating a Moon Pie.

A lovely park where you can be a statue if you wish . . .

But if you look up, you might get a cool surprise.

Learning about cotton . . .

is a hands-on experience . . . 

but boll weevils are definitely hands-off!

A rainbow of gorgeous, old homes . . . 

and dreams of moving in.

Enjoying God's amazing creation in the spring flowers . . . 

a 1500 year old oak tree, with branches like the wings of an angel . . .

little albino squirrels scurrying about . . .

and the enormity of the Atlantic ocean.

Root beer floats at America's biggest (or is that busiest?) Sonic Drive-in . . .  in small town U. S. A. --Hartsville, SC.

The greatest blessing (and the most fun!) of all . . . time with sweet friends.

And after leaving, missing them already, the gift of driving with these views . . . 

and arriving safely home.
