Last weekend, hubby and I took a magical mystery tour down to a place called Waterloo, here in SC. We used to take jaunts out, and just drive around, years ago when we lived in an apartment. We just got one of those "wild hair" days and said "let's go" and we did.
On my treks to Laurens, over the years, with my AVON business, I've always taken "the back way" through Hickory Tavern. I'd seen the sign for Waterloo, 19 miles ahead of where I usually turn off Fairview Rd to go left into Laurens, but we had never been that way before. Seemed like a nice way to spend an afternoon ... and it was.
Call me ignorant but I had never realised Waterloo was called that because it was semi-surrounded by water on like 3 sides! THAT was a huge surprise.
Funnily enough, despite having sailed transatlantic 3 times, I am semi-afraid of "big water" and yet seems I feel in love down there, because my brain started working overtime.
Wouldn't it be nice for hubby to just go out on the lake and fish on a weekend for a few hours, and let the world pass on by? Relax him from the stresses of his workweek?
Since then I've been browsing "for sale" places down there, land packages of about an acre or so. Been looking at the "hobbit style houses" that you build from slot together composite material, and then cover with earth and either grass or you can even grow veggies in like window box type ledges down the side, too. Since it's just hubby and me, we don't need anything huge any more.

He came home a couple of days ago and said "ok, how about a 2 year plan".
So that's the plan ...
As for me, I need to sell more AVON, LOL
