On December 30th, Stephanie and I got in our respective cars and headed south. It was time for her to return to FLORIDA and get back to her BFA roots at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. We stopped in VA to visit with her brother (my son John) and shared New Years EVE first! THEN, hit the road again on January 1st and headed for Karen's house. She now lives in Columbia, South Carolina. Well, just outside the city limits in a cute little town called Hopkins. We REALLY enjoyed our stay there and left her a little furry friend as well.
