The Countertop Chronicles

So, you may have noticed the blogging is a bit light the last few days/weeks (did someone say 5 years?!?!?). We travel every August to the gorgeous Golden Islands of the South East GA coast - always staying on St Simons Island where my wife has family (well, not anymore, but historically and up till about 3 years ago).

Anyway, this year instead of getting a place for a week we decidwed we’d get the same condo we rent every year for a full month. She’s been down 2 1/2 weeks, I got down Friday.

I was greeted by my mother in law (who was here last week) affixed to the weather channel and worrying about this tiny tropical storm way off in the southern Atlantic. Each day she grew more and more concerned, as I dismissed her concerns as ludicrous - everyone knows St Simons doesn’t get hit by Hurricanes - they ALWAYS strike Jacksonville and below or Savanha and above - the gulf stream acts as a natural shield.

Well, slap me with a shit stick….it looks like were gonna get hit. Or at least jacksonville is, 20 miles south. That’s enough for us. Just don’t want to get caught on the beach as the hurricane hits at high tide with two little kids. We’re drive Northwest to Swainsboro and staying with some other cousins.
