It is raining fairly steady here in Lexington, South Carolina. Started early afternoon a couple days ago and is supposed to continue through today. We plan to leave on Tuesday morning and are hoping the weather will clear by then.
My cousin Dolly and her husband Charles live in Lexington and have been perfect hosts during our stay here in South Carolina. We’ve spent many enjoyable hours visiting in their beautiful home and going out to eat together. Another one of my cousins, Dolly’s sister, Leona and her husband Bill from Aiken, SC drove up for a day and the six of us had a lovely lunch together at the Lizard’s Thicket Restaurant. Don’t let the name put you off! It’s a great restaurant with many choices of authentic and delicious southern cooking. South Carolina’s license plate says: “Smiling Faces – Beautiful Places” and we couldn’t agree more.
Charles took Phil out fishing in his boat yesterday afternoon and Phil came back in grinning from ear to ear because he caught his South Carolina fish. While the guys were gone, Dolly and I went through a suitcase full of family photographs she had inherited that belonged to her mother, Leola and grandmother, Myrtle. I helped her identify many of them and then found one very special picture of our great, great grandmother, Virginia Turner Cox that I’ve never seen before. It is a genealogical treasure for our family and Dolly made several copies for me!

If things go as planned, we'll get to meet some more of the family later this afternoon.
