It seems as if it will rain, off and on, for the next few days. Perhaps it will lead us through the next days, making everything green for the weekend in the upstate of South Carolina. It will be interesting to be back in Clinton.
I was thinking about this next weekend earlier today. This could be the last weekend trip to Clinton. I don't know why we would be going back. Unless, I suppose, someone else decides to attend Presbyterian College. There really isn't anything in Clinton or Laurens County which would draw me or Cindy back.
I remember when I was in college and it was so pretty driving up through northeast Georgia toward Virginia. The pines were thick and beautiful and green. You would drive over Lake Hartwell and see all the boats anchored at the marina there on the Georgia side of the lake. There wasn't much development on Lake Hartwell that you could see from the bridge crossing the lake. The country around the area was pretty too, on up to Greenville.
North of Greenville, however, the terrain changed. There were a lot of industrial areas and rough looking intersections and truck stops and such. The terrain didn't change much until you made it into North Carolina around Gastonia. When you made it up to Charlotte and took I-77 up toward Wytheville, Virginia, the area was mountainous and beautiful.
When Cindy and Kate and I first visited the area around Greenville, I noticed that there had been an awful lot of work on trying to beautify the area. Downtown Greenville has been renovated nicely over the years and there are a number of pretty areas in the older parts of downtown. Despite the fact that the main roads into town have been in states of disarray ever since we first drove into Greenville when we were looking for Furman, and remain so to this day, downtown is quite lovely.
I look forward to Saturday and the graduation ceremony and some time to enjoy Kate's friends and our family up there. I hope its sunny and warm.
About Me
- TBAYNHAMIII
- I was born in Kentucky, though my parents had been living in Knoxville before my birth. My mother's mother lived across the street from the hospital in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, which was convenient. I moved around quite a bit when I was young, but ended up in Georgia. I like to read and write and love food and drink way too much. I have a funny wife and daughter who has finished her batchelor's degree and is living with her grandmother in North Atlanta and studying advertising. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I had not gone to law school. Regrets come and go with the seasons.
